They’re usually preceded by the words “it’s all about…” These are the words that will be drilled into your head both from an online and an offline perspective.

Breaking The Rules – What Twitter Taught Me About Community

Oh great…another Twitter post? For those of you that weren’t on Twitter last week or don’t follow me at all, I won second place in Blogworld Expo/Alltop Contest*.

Thoughts on HOA Leadership

If Not You, Then Who?

If Not You, Then Who?

The Challenge I have a confession to make. I am an Oprah junkie. Ever since I got XM radio in my car, I am glued to the Oprah & Friends station. I find all of her ‘Friends’ to be very inspirational.

There’s no shortage of conferences in the real estate community. There’s NAR, the Inman Connects, the national brokerage conventions, & the upcoming BloodhoundBlog Unchained just to name a few. While these conferences are cool and all, the price starts to add up and many of us leave after hearing a lot of stuff that we already know. It’s becoming apparent ...
