        Well, I am becoming more accountable. Have finally finished tweaking and publishing my infomercial. Closed today on my first transaction since last October (my listing). Getting a new listing signed and already have a buyer for that. Referred a buyer to another HECP member, Jennifer Davis. You may remember the lady who contacted me within hours of my posting of my new profile. She’s a liberal and wanted to buy a home. We were ready to go looking when her company said they were opening a new office in Georgia and offered her a new position there. So she made a couple of trips to scope out the area and it looks like she made the decision to take it. So, I needed a liberal agent to whom I could refer this lady. An voila! Jennifer and I talked, and a new positive connection was made.

        Also been really busy just responding to all the new connections. Today, for example, I had 21 people who accepted my connection request. Been responding to all of them. Take a look at just this one incredible thread:

        • <p class=”msg-s-event-listitem__body t-14 t-black–light t-normal “>Just curious. I usually try to see if there are ways I can help the people I connect with here. I often create ono-oon-one connections where mutual benefit is indicated.</p>

        • <p class=”msg-s-event-listitem__body t-14 t-black–light t-normal “>I generally assume that when I reach out for a connection, my profile is reviewed and the connection is only accepted if my profile is a fit in some way. I could be wrong in some cases, but I have been very happy with conversations I’ve had with people in businesses I new imagined existed.</p>

        • <p class=”msg-s-event-listitem__body t-14 t-black–light t-normal “>Makes sense and is true. Just didn’t expect a security question. I like your approach.</p>

        • <p class=”msg-s-event-listitem__body t-14 t-black–light t-normal “>Well, thanks, but so much of what I see from people in positions like yours is far over my head. But, I can only connect with some basis of reality if I read and try to understand the profile and get a sense of who that person is. And, of course, follow up with a question or two.   Don’t men to take up all your time, but I do have a number of networks I’ve created over the years. So, if you feel there is any way I can support you, let me know and we can have a chat.</p>

        <p class=”msg-s-event-listitem__body t-14 t-black–light t-normal “>Well, then, I accomplished part of what I wanted to do today.  LOL  I was just asked recently who my ideal client was. Nearly everyone else in real estate on LI says “anyone who wants to buy or sell property.” I didn’t want to be just another one of those. So, I looked back over the 27 or so years I’ve spent in the biz to see who I enjoyed most working with. From there, it was simple. (And I don’t need to go into all the reasons I did not choose the other side . . .)</p>
         . . . . And we are not finished.

        So, on to the work of completing Module 2.
