Always Strive for the Highest Ideals
Today I decided to go through the stacks and stacks of family photos that I’ve collected over the years. It was a doctor-approved activity and a fulfilling way to relax and recover from my surgery. I had my assistant, Victoria, buy me photo albums so I could spend a couple of hours organizing all the images taken over many years.
If the past is the foundation on which our reputations stand, I’ve spent my career making mine solid. Now, I enjoy the benefits of my good name, which has withstood the challenges that life has thrown at me.
Real Estate Tips from the Comfort of a Hospital Gurney
On Tuesday morning, I lay in bed shortly after being admitted to the hospital. The anesthesiologist entered the room and greeted me. This was the man to which I was entrusting my unconscious state.
He took my arm and prepared it for the drugs that would soon enter my body. I lay there watching him do his work.
“Alright, before we get started, I have some real estate questions to ask you,” he said.
“How did you know I was in real estate?” I asked.
He told me that my reputation preceded me. Beverly Hills is a small community, so people who’ve been in the business as long as I have, have become familiar faces.
“Would it be possible to talk about real estate later?” I asked. I promised him that I’d be available anytime after I was out of the hospital. For now, I wanted for both of us to focus on the surgery.
Your Reputation Will Help Others
A colleague of mine expressed how much he enjoys working with me. Daniel recently met with a real estate attorney regarding a complicated case. He recounted the story as follows:
Daniel entered the lawyer’s office. He nervously sat there and was concerned about the meeting.
“Where do you work?” the lawyer asked.
“At Nourmand & Associates,” Daniel said.
“With Myra Nourmand?” he asked.
Daniel described how this put both of them at ease. The real estate lawyer trusted my reputation, and Daniel appreciated the mutual connection.
It takes years and years to build a reputation, and one unethical move can sour all of your work.
As our nation’s economy shudders, and the walls of corporate giants are being shored up by government intervention, we must maintain the highest standards for ourselves. And over time, you'll inevitably reap the rewards of your positive work. ♦Digg it ♦del.icio.us ♦Add to Technorati Faves
