I have read the biography of William Paley, the owner of CBS television from the 1930s on, several times. What he would like to have done was to own not only radio stations, a radio network, television stations, a television network, but also to own newspapers and news services. In short he would have liked to completely dominate all facets of the media current in his time. What was thwarting him was anti-trust legislation designed to prevent domination of media, within a given city, as well as across the nation.

What is your Philosophy on Life?
Friday, September 18th, 2009
Jim Rohm was one of the first real leaders in the Personal development Movement. He mentored and inspired Tony Robbins, as well as a myriad of the great minds, to come down the pipe in personal growth.
For me, Jim was the first person to ask the question, “What is your philosophy on life?” For me, that is one of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself.
I just re-read or “listened” to one his earlier programs. It was so timely for me. Again, he asks the question, “what is your philosophy on life?”

Relationships, Relationships, Relationships

Nic Booth, Realtor with F.C. Tucker, sees her current job as a perfect way to utilize her people skills and her sales background, while providing a flexibility that allows her to have sufficient time for her husband and two daughters. The manager at her F.C. Tucker office had been talking to Nic about this opportunity over the last three years and this year seemed like the right time to start her real estate career. Nic likes to educate and help people, and in her mind there is no better industry in which to do that than in real estate.
In February of this year, Nic passed her Real Estate License test and joined F.C. Tucker. Nic has the autonomy of her own business, but she also has the support system of F.C. Tucker. Nic believes that we are living in times where we have to go back to basics in business. Every person she meets for the first time receives a handwritten note within 24 hours, followed up with a personal phone call. In this day of emails, the written note and phone call, not to mention the personal connections they make, stand out from the competition. It is important not to just have a list of contacts. In this business, she see her “contact” list as a list of relationships. As with any relationship it requires nurturing…often! She also has a client-appreciation program where she shares real estate information once a quarter. In addition to that, Nic feels it’s important to do something as simple as meeting someone for coffee and asking them that all-important question, “How can I help you?”
