We scheduled the room for four hours, but Russell Shaw was convinced we could only manage to fill three hours. Instead, he spoke from 6 pm to 9:58 pm, exceeding his own goal by 33%. In a night dominated by discussions of goals, goal-setting and goal-achievement, it was an impressive accomplishment.
Allen Butler recorded all four hours in audio, and we have much of the evening’s event recorded on video as well. At this point, we don’t know how much, if any, of this we will be distributing.
As we’ve discussed, the underlying purpose of the event was to elicit questions from audience members to be used as curriculum points in future audio and video podcasts. This goal was also eclipsed by a wide margin.
Russell will be speaking at the March 29th StarPower event in Phoenix. He came last night bearing discount coupons, but there weren’t enough to go around. If you would like to attend this event, click here for a discount coupon.
We have at least one more Sales Success Seminar planned, but we don’t know for sure where or when yet. I’ll post more information when I have it.

Russell may claim to “not have a lot of formal education”, but I’ll tell you one thing…
The man is a freaking genius.
I could sit and listen to him speak for hours. He’s a funny, engaging and thought provoking speaker. You can sign me up for the next one, I don’t care where or when it is. If you’re in Phoenix and you missed this event, you should be kicking yourself in the head. DO NOT miss the next one!
Thanks Russell for all you shared, and thanks Greg and Cathleen for pulling this together.

I was there. I was one of those guys that didn’t want him to stop. YOu know it was like sitting in an audience at a performance and not wanting the curtain to fall. Russell was fantastic. He’s such a natural at engaging everyone and holding our attention. It was clear to me that those that didn’t make it missed out big time. I’ll be there the next time. Too bad, soooo sad for those that don’t make it.
Great take aways Russell. What an education. Thanks bunches.

What more can I add after Jay and Ken’s comments. I guess it goes to show that only a very small percentage really care about improving their real estate careers – probably right in line with the percentage of truly Top Agents! A BIG Thank You! to Russell, Greg and Cathleen.
