by Matthew FerryWhen you meet those top producing brokers and realtors who seem to have it all you know what I am talking about those people who have a great life, great vacations, loving family relationships, sweet investments and luck on top of all that, you might look further and see that person […]

by Matt SomersMany of the managers I train to get results through coaching ask how long coaching sessions should last and how often they should take place. I’m afraid that’s a question up there with how long is a piece of string?

by John Milton FoggDo you agree with what the greatest Self-Help Success author of all time Napoleon Hill (author of Think & Grow Rich) said, “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe it will achieve”?

by Matt SomersA wise man once remarked, “Pray for potatoes, but pick up a hoe.”
Notwithstanding all the energy we have put into coaching in the first four stages of the ARROW sequence, in some ways we have achieved very little. In truth we have thought, pondered, intellectualized and navel gazed but changed nothing.
