Zig Ziglar's quote, You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want. It's tried and true especially in the service industry such as ours: real estate.
It's always refreshing to hear a new client come up to you at the end of your first meeting to tell you, "I've worked with many realtors(R) before but I've never met one with doesn't have a pushy attitude. That's what I most appreciate about meeting you".
With that, it made the 4 1/2 hours under the hot Frisco TX 102 degree weather sun all that more worth it.
I hope the scripture of this week rings true in your professional life too:
Scripture of the Week:
Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
1 Corinthians 9:19, 23
My love language is Acts of Service. There is no greater joy than to know I have served with everything that I had without expecting anything in return.
Make it a great week for the Lord! And soak in His richness today.

The Art of Servanthood
Thanks for your post, I have always been proud of my mid-western work ethic, but it does really come down to helping others achieve their dreams.
That is so true. Everytime I give more than I have to, it always comes back around in one form or another. Going the extra mile and putting your heart and soul into every transaction will build your business faster than anything. Great scripture! Thanks for sharing!
The greatest among us Loreena is the one who serves the most. There is a Karma thing in the universe about giving. It does come back to us in some form. A cause and effect for sure.
I'm so glad your clients expressed their appreciation for your servant heart! I'm sure all your clients appreciate that about you, Loreena, but some may not say so. :)
Matt. 28:27-28 "...and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."--SO thankful for His servant's heart and life!! :)
A great story and a wonderful testimony Loreena! And very apropos for this lovely Sunday!
Thanks Loreena. It is hot here as well. So ready for some drenching rain. Have a beautiful Sunday.
This is a great reminder to try to stay humble. I admit that it is not always easy for me but I do try. You are a very thoughtful and good person and I'm glad we're friends.
Hi Loreena,
Wonderful choice of scripture for your blog!
May God richly bless you,
Paul
The thing that I like the most about servanthood, Loreena, is that it puts all of us on the same level, no matter what capacity we are serving in.
Loreena
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Good luck and success.

Hi Loreena, I'm with you on that one! Working with clients that appreciate us, makes working in hot weather and freezing temps so worth it!
Real estate is about serving-being oneself is much appreciated by the consumer. Thanks for the reminder today
Sounds like the slogan of an agent. Good quote.
Sonja - great scripture. Commission is great but the words of appreciation from the clients are even sweeter.
Hi Loreena,
Thanks for posting.
True servant ship is really doing all we can without expecting back anything in return.
Thanks for the reminder!
Have an amazing day!
