I do business in Trinidad and Tobago and am constantly traveling back and forth.

The constant pressure for say a possible 5 weeks with media and practice could not be handled academics would not get done.

I also now work for a national company, No 1 here on the Gulf Coast and I think what sets us apart as agents is the constant free training our Broker/Owner provides us.

I use Constant Contact.

One constant that I have herd over the past 6 months is "Its a Buyers Market"Training is everything and this is the best site that I have ran across in years.

I constantly repeat this.

I doubt you would be able to apply all his teachings to a service focused business but there are some handy tips in the book for every business owner.One of his tips is to apply an auto-reply email message to your mail box which states that you now only look at your emails twice daily and if its really urgent to contact on you the mobile.By forcing yourself to only check you emails twice daily you help increase the efficiency of your work because you are not constantly being disturbed by emails.

This also provides us with the opportunity to "cherry pick" which houses we wish to purchase and rehab out of the constant flow that we will be offered.

While I continue to invest in real estate (I doubt if I will ever see a better time to buy in my lifetime), I am constantly meeting people who say they want to invest in real estate, but they are not sure if the time is right.

There are so many different people in this world and there is only ONE constant, "You can't make them ALL happy."
