It's really strange and wonderful. I am sincerely touched by what you took from the piece and how you phrased it in your post. I'll tell you, this is a magical moment in the history of real estate where discussions between vendors, Realtors, educators, etc., are taking place and unfolding in an open forum where we all learn from each other and grow together. As the industry continues to change from what it was to what its going to be years from now, this moment in time and those who are contributing to it, will be remembered and memorialized. I can only say that my 15-minutes of fleeting fame came as a result of this burgeoning movement called social media. I advise all those who seek to teach it and spread it around to do so with utmost care because when it is done right, as Bill has shown me, the effects are breathtaking. Just look what happened to me after speaking to him for a few hours! Thank you, good luck and hope we get to meet or speak again. Davison Linsey,

From what I know of Marc, which admittedly is little and only from being a reader of his work, he has strong, well thought out opinions. The space is filled with smart, articulate, strong minded individuals. I find it so refreshing to see someone willing to say, "I changed my mind," or "I see it differently, now." That's particularly hard to do when you are vocal and public about your opinion - and very cool. And Bill - you can count on it. :) Missing NY but so looking forward to seeing you again soon. Doug, Los Angeles Lofts, and Norm - completely agree and thank you for your comments!

A sincere, "I was wrong" will always be one of the more effective ways to "win friends and influence people" and as much as things have changed, the friendships we earn is still a great measure of success.

As an employer, I give much more credit to those who take responsibility for their mistakes rather than those who point fingers at another. We are all wrong at time, it's better we admit it and learn from our mistakes. I have always believed that when you make a mistake it is always better to own up to it.

In my experience, the phrase, "I was wrong but...", is much better rephrased as, "I was wrong AND this is how I'm going to fix it so that this situation doesn't happen again." Clients, customers, family and co-workers deserve no less. Get in the habit of saying 'and' rather than 'but' and watch the magic happen!
