East Lansing, MI

So we just finished our first meeting of the "Shift" book club at the Keller Williams Lansingoffice. For those of you who aren't familiar with the book it is Gary Keller's latest release with Dave Jenks, Jay Papasan and hundreds of others who contributed in this great book. "It's Not About The Market...It's about what you do!"is written across the cover of this book designed to assist Realtors tackle tough times. It is forth in his series of Real Estate training books. Including:

• The Millionaire Real Estate Agent
• Flip
• The Millionaire Real Estate Investor
• Shift

I am far from a reader so having accountability is exactly what I need. I have read about 50 pages of the book so far but we were thrown for a loop today as we are starting from the back and reading the last 40+ pages first. We have assigned accountability partners as well(damnit no slacking) for added support.

I plan to have a weekly post with my thoughts from the weeks reading. What I've read so far is great a I am looking forward to the next few months as we tear this book apart and get real purposful about what I'm doing in this market.

This book is designed for ALL REALTORS, MANAGERS, BROKER OWNERS not just Keller Williams agents. If you would like to get involved and own the book or know where to get a copy (visit your local Keller Williams office if you don't) this week we are reading from pg. 241 to the end. So get your highlighter out and get reading.

Hello Gang,

Just wanted to right a little BLOG about our MSU Spartans!!!! I am excited that football season is upon us and I am looking forward to the first home game this weekend against Eastern Michigan. I did not grow up in the Greater Lansing Area, but I have lived here since June of 2005. I have to say that I love it in this area, I live in Laingsburg and the motto of the town is where the city and country meet. I feel that describes all of Lansing as a whole. I think it is a great place to live. There is so much the Greater Lansing Area has to offer, from the Capitol to Sparrow Hospital to Michigan State University and much much more. Anywho GO SPARTANS!!!!!!!!

GO GREEN!!!! GO WHITE!!!!!
