In fact, I once had the opportunity to learn from the Nitro Snowboarding team - pros from all around the world. After about 100 times falling down the French Alps, I continued to the bottom. There I discovered the bar and enjoyed the fact that I was in the same mountains that Evian comes from. I learned that lesson early in life, because I hated to be wrong and misguide anyone. So I've never been afraid to admit what I don't know. Since I like to learn new stuff, I don't mind admitting it either, since I'll be able to learn the answer as well as provide it. Lisa - I remember a teacher in high school telling me that school wasn't to teach me things, it was to teach me how to learn things. I think that teacher gave me some great advice with that and it applies today. Missy - The only thing that frustrates me is when I can't find the answer. I'm still looking for a tax accountant who can answer a question I have, but so far no one knows the answer. Kim – I was never much of a skier or snowboarder.

It will never stop.... Don't be afraid to say, "I don't know" on the journey. Ever learning…

It will never stop….

Don’t be afraid to say, “I don’t know” on the journey.

In it, one of the things he cited as good was that even though I didn't know everything, I knew where to get the info he needed. That was probably the best thing that first broker taught me 'you don't have to know everything but know where to find out'. That, and the power of 'thank you.'

It's been too long... ok... I guess you didn't really want to talk about the Diamond Runs...... I learned early it was ok for me to say, "I'm not certain about that, but I'll find out" or "That is the perfect question to ask Mr. Mortgage". You are right - redirecting those question does make the expert. It also makes a true 'team' when you have field experts to assist when needed. Matt -
