I don't tell my accountant how to do my books and tax returns; I don't tell my financial planner how to most effectively make me money; I don't tell my naturopath what to give me. I respect that the professionals I employ know WAY more than I do in their field.
If in selling your home, you just want a realtor to agree with your price, methods, opinions and marketing and you find someone willing to do that you're both idiots.
Look for someone that's great at what they do and for god sakes don't cheap out and hire the budget realtor. Good lord. But that's a blog for another day. Look for someone who knows their stuff, has the good sense to lead the process and gives you the straight goods. It's not a popularity contest. You want the most for your investment. That's my job. Don't tell me how to do my job -- help me help you.
That's it for today!

Love It! Absolutey agree...you are the expert and clients should be listening to you! They may not always like what you tell them, but with time they will learn you were correct and respect your knowledge and honesty! Truthfully I think you should still consider yourself in the people pleasing mode, but pleasing them with honesty, knowledge and expertise, using your knowledge to help them achieve their goals! Works for me!
yes, well said, Chris! Pleasing from a place of awareness and confidence rather than placating. Thanks!
If your first blog is an accurate indicator of what you will be publishing in the future, I want to be your first follower as I think it will be very interesting reading! Keep up the good work Beth!
