"Free Company Websites"
As most of you know Remax changed platforms for the company website on December 1st. There have been a few hick ups with it but we are figuring it out. The one really good thing that came about was the upgrade in your free company websites. I would say it is as you good or better then anything you are paying $50 or so a month for and it's free! There are 3 ways you can set this up, do it yourself, learn how to in Ella's Leadstreet 101 & 201 classes or you can schedule a one on one with Ella. If you would like to meet with Ella and have her set up your website you need to schedule a time to meet with her in Potomac. She is available in the mornings to do this and the appointments will only be in Potomac. This is available for all solo agents, partners and Team Leaders.
Sales meeting today, 11:30-1:00 at That's Amore in Rockville.
Enjoy the coffee,
Joe
INSPIRATION FOR TODAY:
"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these."
~ George Washington Carver
STEP UP!
At a fundraising dinner for a school serving learning-disabled children, the father of one of the students stood up to speak. He began by saying, “I believe that when a child like my Shay comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself.” He went on to tell the following story.
Shay and his dad were walking past a park where some other boys were playing a game of baseball. Shay excitedly asked, “Do you think they’ll let me play?” Reluctantly, but hopefully, Shay’s father approached the boys. The captain looked at the others for some guidance, but finding none, said, “We’re losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning, but I guess he can play. We’ll try to put him in to bat in the ninth.”
Still down in the ninth, Shay put on a glove and headed to the outfield. No hits came to him, but he was ecstatic. Then “Shay’s team” came to bat, scored, and got the winning run on base. Now Shay was next at bat.
Shay’s obvious inexperience inspired the pitcher to move closer and lob the ball in softly enough for Shay to try to make contact. He missed the first toss, but the pitcher moved in even more before his next toss, which Shay ground balled right back to him.
The pitcher picked up the grounder and threw the ball in a high arc toward right field, over the first baseman. Now the crowd started yelling and cheering for Shay to run, run, run to first base! Understanding his pitcher’s intentions, the right fielder threw the ball high over the third baseman’s head, and Shay made it to second while the winning runs headed home.
The opposing shortstop directed Shay to third, while the crowd and all the players on the field went nuts. You might guess that Shay eventually made it around to home base, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam.
“That day,” the father finished, “the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world.” A lovely illustration of the virtue of compassion, and how we all have myriad opportunities to make a huge difference in the lives of those around us. Pay it forward
