It is just before 7am as I write this.<\/p>\n

Our large office is dark and quiet this time of day, waiting another couple of hours before truly springing to life. But I am not alone. Seems there is always at least one of our 110 agents here getting some business done. That’s a good thing. But I really do enjoy this quiet time to reflect and plan. And write. <\/p>\n

I have been trading e-mails since last night with someone coming to BHBU. She is not the first. Another attendee contacted me with his “homework” questions a few days ago. I think I caught her off guard by offering a small modicum of blog help before we get together in Phoenix next week.<\/p>\n

As I sit here this morning, I thought it might be good for me to share with you why I am taking the time off and coming to BHBU. The guy who built our brokerage calls it sharing ideas. Harrell explains it this way. “If I have a dollar and you have a dollar and we give our dollars to each other, then we each still only have a dollar. If we do that with ideas, we each then have two.” (Addendum: It is often far more than two because of the stimulated thoughts from the original ideas) He is far from a typical broker and this is far from a typical brokerage. Harrell Tague is THE reason for that.<\/p>\n

Greg refers to the synergy of shared genius as a scenius. <\/p>\n

Call it whatever you will, I see it as a true principle. It has worked for me every time it has been implemented.<\/p>\n

That’s why I have taken the time last year to go to the RealEstateWebmasters conference. And BHB Orlando. And now BHBU and soon to RealEstateWebmasters2009 and HomeGain Nation live. <\/p>\n

The pay I get for these conferences is the synergy of shared genius (scenius) plus relationships with each of the people involved. The ideas and relationships that come from that are huge. It’s the kind of compensation that could keep one of our 110 agents in business Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
