Success always arrives on a new set of terms

Published by Scott LeForce under General,Technology.

business-woman-victorywebOne of the things I love most about my job is the time I spend discussing strategy, solutions, and plans for the future with our technical team. We are all proud of the fact that our members have a strong realization of value and we endeavor to exceed your expectations in technology that directly benefit your bank accounts, among other things.

In a meeting recently, I noticed that some of the jargon was unfamiliar to me and technical guys sure know how to use it well. It’s like verbal shorthand. So, I have to keep learning this stuff just to keep up! Oh no, not another new term!

Did you know that a “bliki” is short for blog and wiki? It is a type of blog that can be edited by readers or a designated group of contributors. An “iPhone killer” is a buzzword that describes any mobile phone that has the capability to be a threat to the Apple iPhone consumer market dominance. The Android platform is often referred to as an “iPhone Killer.” Now, what the heck is an Andriod platform? See what I mean?  The Android platform is Google Inc.’s open and free software stack that includes an operating system, middleware, and also key applications for use on mobile devices, including smart phones.

Okay, enough of that. My point is that we need to continue learning new terms to know what is going on. If we don’t know them, then we are limited in our vision. Hence, we are limited in our goals and success.

But, there are other terms that are equally, if not more important. What about the terms you make with yourself regarding your learning new systems and methods in real estate? How many classes have you enrolled in recently that keeps you networked, informed, inspired and motivated?

These really are the terms that lead to your success. All the technical stuff won’t help unless you commit to a personal set of terms that lead to your personal and professional growth in the offline world too. Enrolling in Eagles is a perfect start.

Success always arrives on a new set of terms.
