The obvious power is quite simple. Isn't it?
Yet, how often do you hear, "I don't use email ...", "this wouldn't work in my business ...", "I don't have time ...", blah, blah, blah?
Who needs all of these people anyhow? Are you sure?

Social Networking Simplified
Perhaps an oversimplification, but this video gets to the heart of the matter behind our social networking efforts. Doesn't it?

Random Thought, Future Post?
Video blogging? Yes, no, maybe? Yes. Why? It's the future? But why? More personal interaction. Better message. More of the real you, more of the real me. Right? Time will tell. Other reasons? Most definitely. Will we do it here at the buzz? 100%, yes.
Video blogging in your future? Yes, no, maybe? Shouldn't it be? We think so.
Will people get what we just said? Did it make some sense? Yes, I think so. If not, there's time to clarify. Any questions? Leave us a comment.
What's your random thought today?

Attitude is Everything
This economy is killing people! It's all around me like a crummy winter fog that just won't go away. Dark in the morning, dark during the day, dark at night. Dreariness and darkness suffocatingly everywhere.
If you're not being negatively affected by this economy, you certainly know of someone who is. Friends are losing their jobs, neighbors are losing their homes, economic uncertainty and desperation rule the roost. As real estate professionals, you know this all too well and don't need us to offer any further rationalization.
I'm certainly not suggesting that we ignore this reality, but we can't remain mired in the endless negativity of these circumstances. All of this negativity and desperation in these understandingly difficult times are draining even if your pocketbook continues to brim with bills while others are begging for mercy.
A change in your thinking is necessary. I'm not suggesting that you use "Secret" powers to pray this all away, but I do believe attitude is extremely important.
Instead of spending time concentrating on every negative economic powers working against you, why don't you spend that valuable time looking for solutions, searching for opportunities, and concentrating your efforts on moving forward rather than being forever cemented in the past?
ATTITUDE MAKES A DIFFERENCE!
Trust me, I'm 34 and have been self-employed for roughly five years now. I never believed in this attitude "mumbo jumbo". Concentrate, clear your mind, blah, blah, blah. I used to think, "stupid advice from ridiculous fools - why don't these people hop back into reality, get a grip, and wake up!"
Now, it's a vital part of my each and every day. This house fell out of contract, that tenant's moving out, eviction here, water damage over there. These tough times present valuable learning lessons that will make you stronger and ultimately pave the way for a smoother future journey.
We can't wish all of this away, but we can open our eyes, learn from the lessons being taught, and embrace the opportunity to look for new solutions.
I was once told that the deal of a lifetime comes by at least once a week. If you're too busy concentrating on what you don't have when will you have time to look for what you could have?
Please stop concentrating on all that's wrong and start concentrating on all that's right. If it's wrong, fix it. If you make a mistake, learn from it. Get your head on straight. We all know it's bad.
If you don't like the circumstances in which you find yourself, always remember it's in your power to make a change.

Google's SearchWiki
In a previous post (The Google Promote Button), we briefly addressed Google's new experimental feature, the little add and remove buttons, aka Google's SearchWiki. To provide additional insight, we've provided a video directly from Google giving a general tutorial on how they intend for us to use their buttons.
To this point, we're not finding a large added value in using this feature. In fact, we're initially finding the little add and remove buttons to be rather intrusive since your search results, after removing or promoting, leave you with a skewed positioning / ranking of the remaining search results indexed. If you're like us, we're continually logged-in to our Google account(s) as we use a number of their tools in our day to day operations. As a result, we're finding that we're continually having to go through extra steps to determine search results as they were originally indexed and ranked by Google if we've previously used their SearchWiki to make modifications.
Are you finding that Google's SearchWiki offers beneficial value to your online experience or, are you like us, initially finding that the SearchWiki merely complicates the beauty in Google's simplicity?

Perspective Matters ... Right?
Real Estate, social networking, your blog, your website, your brand ... are you getting your message across and, if you are, what does it really look like? Are you sure?
How often are we really missing out on opportunities because our message is not as clear or as important to our audience as we think it is? On this point, our social networking brand is no different than real estate, if you're not prepared to create a quality product that targets your audience than don't be disappointed when you earn less than quality results. An insultingly simple concept yet most of us fall short as we continually fail to understand who our audience really is and continue to deliver an unwanted product.
