Soulful Thinkers and Doers

The smartest people we know think like us. Mark Twain might have said that. Regardless, it's true and Jennifer Allan is one of the smart people in my mind.

 Jennifer gets it.  Here's a person who saw the dorkeyness creeping deep into the real estate practice and she did something to make a difference.  Many of us can spot a cliche. Some of us can talk about what's wrong. Few people can show the way to change.  Jennifer is relevant and she's got the platform for teaching a better way to be a real estate person. A solution to Fixing the Leak always includes changing the fixtures. That's more work than the quick fix plug. But let's look at it another way: Say I want to be a better person.  What's more long lasting--a new attitude or a new haircut? A new haircut lasts for a few days, but an attitude of abundance will carry me through life's experiences.

I like Jennifer's approach to treating people we know as Very Important People. Business people spend a lot of time trying to attract new customers---(maybe because new customers are new folks to fool). If my business is worthy, new customers will be directed to me by people who know my character, provided I let them know I am still in business.  Jennifer's web site http://www.sellwithsoul.com/ is loaded with ideas and enthusiasm for building confidence to "be you" and be yourself with you VIP's or Sphere of Influence. For years I have tried to make that point with certain results. I know I am a better story teller than teacher, so I'm going to tell you to see Jennifer. She has the enthusiasm, credentials, and tools to show you a better way.

I'm also inspired by her way of writing. I called Jennifer and found that she talks exactly the way she writes. That's a talent but it is a talent that can be learned. Maybe the first step to acquiring that talent is shedding the dorkey wrting styles we learned in our days at Executive U.

Rather than keep you here reading me, go to http://www.sellwithsoul.com/ and see if you think Jennifer is one of the smartest people you ever read. If she is, join her. What she's teaching can be the difference between being a statistic of the economy and being the change you wish to see in the world.

Peace.
