Not-So-Secret Secrets To Real Estate Agent Perpetual SuccessKen Brand
Here's what I share in our two day business development workshop for real estate agents at Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors.
We talk about Mind Set, Skill Set, Permission Marketing, The Flight Crew Fear Factor, The Golden Rule 2.0, The 3 People Principle, The Pinball Principal, Neighborhood Networking, Social Media, Facebook, Youtube, Persuasion, Conversation Bridges, Conversation Communication and a ton of other stuff.
This article discusses the Black Lives Matter movement and debates around celebrating Black History Month. It notes that over 100 unarmed black people were killed by police last year, disproportionately higher than other races. The Black Lives Matter movement was created in 2012 to protest violence and advocate for human rights. Many celebrities support the movement through social media or music. However, some like Fox News commentator Stacey Dash argue that Black History Month and Black Entertainment Television (BET) are racist and prevent unity. The article draws a comparison to Country Music Television, saying country music faces a lack of mainstream representation, similar to the purpose of BET for black artists. Overall it examines different perspectives around celebrating and advocating for black communities.

This document discusses the challenges facing modern children in developing moral values and ethics. It notes they experience more intense situations daily than in the past but often don't have opportunities to discuss them with busy parents. They spend significant time engaged with electronic devices in solitary activities. While shows like The Simpsons entertain, they may not teach the right lessons if not discussed. The document advocates for open family dialogue about important values and inviting children to participate in life decisions to help develop respect and morality.

A senior student reflects that living on campus has been less stressful than living off campus due to issues like parking, maintenance problems, and potential roommate conflicts. Meanwhile, a junior who lives in a one-bedroom apartment off PCH enjoys the solitude. However, another student notes that the housing office that manages on-campus housing is important and works hard to support students, despite some shortcomings.

Everyone has a different take on sharing when living with roommates. You may want to go halfsies on everything, while your roomie would rather keep all possessions separate. Whether you’re living with strangers or your best friend from grade school, it’s important to set ground rules to avoid running into roommate issues down the line.

Shazzi Felstein, 73, took in a roommate after losing savings and seeing her expenses exceed her income. Through a nonprofit, she was matched with Yukari Honda, 27, and they split rent and utilities. Home sharing is increasingly common as many older Americans struggle financially and housing costs rise. It allows seniors to afford staying in their homes and avoid homelessness. While personal relationships are important, organizations provide screening to help matches go smoothly.

The document discusses 10 things that typically happen when reuniting with old friends. These include getting excited about reconnecting and planning to meet up. When meeting, people enjoy reminiscing about shared memories and laughing at past experiences together. It is also common to feel joy in seeing a friend's personal growth and changes since last meeting, as well as catching up on mutual friends' lives. Overall, reuniting with old friends is described as a magical experience of realizing they remain the same wonderful people underneath any surface changes.

9 Signs Your Roommate Is Bringing You Down
By LUCIA PETERS Sept 20 2017
SOURCE: Pixabay/Pexels
Like many millennials, I’ve had a lot of roommates in my lifetime. The situations have ranged
from living with one other person to living with eight roommates (boy, was that one an
adventure) — but one of the things you learn when you live in a wide variety of situations is
how to identify the signs your roommate is bringing you down. (Or, y’know, signs your
roommates are bringing you down, plural; again, eight people. Eight.) The knowledge is
useful, though; as they say, guring out you’ve got a problem is the rst step to xing it.
2. 7/30/2018 9 Signs Your Roommate Is Bringing You Down
https://www.bustle.com/p/9-signs-your-roommate-is-bringing-you-down-79794 2/12
The number of millennials living with roommates is on the rise — something which, honestly,
shouldn’t be all that surprising: According to a 2015 study by Make Room, a campaign which
aims to “end the rental housing crisis in America,” the number of people in the 25-to-34 year
old demographic who live with roommates or housemates shot up a staggering 39 percent
between 2005 and 2015. In 2005, the percentage was at 5.7, while in 2013, it was at 7.4.
And it’s no wonder; a huge amount of it has to do with money. According to a study from real
estate site Trulia (via the Chicago Tribune), the average renter living in most major cities can
save 13 percent of their paycheck just by living with roommates. In an economy that’s still
struggling to recover from the 2008 recession, with wages stagnant, the cost of living rising,
and student loans that need to be repaid, living with roommates just makes sense for most
young people.
Alas, though, not all roommates are good roommates. And sometimes, it’s not even a matter
of just being a “good” or “bad” roommate; it’s a matter of being compatible roommates. If any
of the below sound like you and your roommate — or worse, if all of the below sound familiar
— then you might be in a roommate relationship that just doesn’t work for you. But consider
being able to identify this fact a good thing: Now that you know, you can start planning to
change up your living situation. There's always a silver lining, right?

Here are a few indications that you might want to look for a new roommate soon.
Emotional stress can rear its head “any time you have continuous situations that create fear,
resentment, and anger regarding a violation of respect, wishes, and simple requests,” author
and relationship expert Alexis Nicole White tells Bustle. Do you nd that just being at home
1. Being Home Stresses You Out

makes your shoulders come up around your ears — even if it’s for seemingly “silly” reasons,
like constantly hearing the same song on repeat coming from your roommate’s room at all
hours of the day and night or not wanting to get yelled at for not cleaning your dishes just the
way your roommate prefers? Are you constantly trying to nd reasons not to be home? Or do
you feel like never leaving your room when you are home? It might be your roommate. Nicole
Richardson, LPC-S, LMFT, tells Bustle, "Often, when our relationship with our roommate is
di cult we either dread being home and/or nd ourselves looking for reasons not to leave
our bedrooms."
All of this might be a sign that your living situation isn’t the best one for you. “Your home
environment should be peaceful and without extended con ict,” says White.
2. Your Productivity Is Suffering

https://www.bustle.com/p/9-signs-your-roommate-is-bringing-you-down-79794 5/12
Research has found that in academic settings, having roommates with not-so-great habits —
binge drinking, prioritizing playing video games over other necessities, etc. — correlates with
a drop in your own GPA. This isn’t to say that drinking or playing video games are bad in and
of themselves; many people enjoy both these things (myself included), or hang out around
people who enjoy both these things, and function just ne. Additionally, no research (that I’ve
found, at least) applies a similar concept to adults outside of school settings — that is, there
doesn’t seem to be any research about whether having a bad roommate affects your
productivity at work. It’s still worth paying attention to, though.
3. You’re Constantly Chasing After Your Roommate
For The Rent Money They Owe You

Or money for utilities, or money for communal apartment staples (toilet paper, cleaning
supplies, food if you share it, etc.), or anything else involving money that pays for stuff you
both use. One solution to the problem? Get it in writing, ideally in advance. Says Alexis Nicole
White, “Written agreements, notarized should be nalized prior to moving in to prevent
arguments regarding nancial matters.” She also recommends seeking out roommates that
are “ nancially responsible and share similar beliefs regarding money matters.” Screen
potential roommates carefully, whether they're people you've known for years or folks you've
just met on Craigslist.
4. You Feel Run Down All The Time
7. 7/30/2018 9 Signs Your Roommate Is Bringing You Down
https://www.bustle.com/p/9-signs-your-roommate-is-bringing-you-down-79794 7/12
Here’s a fascinating and somewhat horrifying piece of information: According to a study
published in the journal PLOS Genetics in January of 2017, your health might be affected by
your roommate’s very genes. The study found that in mice, the genes of cage mates
signi cantly affected mouse health with regards to three different traits: Anxiety, immune
system response, and rate of skin wound closure. The results haven’t been replicated with
humans yet, but, as Vice Motherboard’s Jovana Drinjakovic put it, “It’s easy to imagine how a
stressful social life might take its toll on health.”
Admittedly, I don’t know how you’d screen potential roommates for this issue; there’s not
really much anyone can do about their genes. Still, though. How weird is that?

5. You Don't Feel Free To Be Yourself At Home

While it's true that everyone has to make compromises and adjust certain behaviors when
they live with other people, these compromises and adjustments should feel reasonable —
not anxiety-creating. "It is important to notice if you feel like you are having to walk on
eggshells or sensor yourself for fear of a lecture or ridicule from your roommate," says
Richardson. After all, where else can we be ourselves but at home in our own spaces?

https://www.bustle.com/p/9-signs-your-roommate-is-bringing-you-down-79794 9/12
Says White, “Many times, envy creates unnecessary tension that can spawn con ict” — which
can be a problem regardless as to whether you’re the one who’s jealous of your roommate or
whether your roommate seems like they might be jealous of you. It’s obviously OK to feel
these feelings; however, if you’re having a hard time coping with them and it’s starting to
manifest as resentment, then it might be worth reconsidering your roommate situation.
Also, remember that you and your roommate don’t need to share every piece of your lives. As
White puts it, “Just because a person is your roommate doesn’t mean they have to be privy to
your business” (and vice versa). If a distant yet cordial roommate relationship works best for
you and the person or people you’re living with, that’s A-OK; you don’t have to be best friends
to be good roommates.
7. You’re Not Sleeping Well
Giphy

https://www.bustle.com/p/9-signs-your-roommate-is-bringing-you-down-79794 10/12
According to research, roommates can negatively affect our sleep habits, particularly if you
happen to share a room with someone else: In a 2013 study published in Psychology Reports,
disturbances in the room was the top reason 76 college students in the Midwest cited for not
getting enough sleep. Notably, all of the study participants shared a dorm room with one
other person.
Even if you have your own rooms, though — say, in a suite or apartment setup — it can be hard
to adjust for multiple schedules. If one of you works the night shift and the other doesn’t, it
means someone is almost always awake when the other is asleep — and sometimes, even
the quietest roommate still isn’t quiet enough to make this setup work.
8. Your Personality Is Changing — And You’re Not Sure
You Like It

As Sarah Sloat wrote at Inverse in 2015, “In particular relationships, people alter their
personality according to circumstance” — including when it comes to living situations. She
pointed to research by John Kurtz and colleagues of Villanova University to illustrate the
point: According to Kurtz’s study, wrote Sloat, women are “much more likely to be exible and
change how they relate to their roommates than men” — so if you nd your personality
changing a little bit after you move in with someone new, it might be because you’re trying to
gure out how to relate to them. And if you don’t really like the way you’re changing, it might
be a sign that this roommate relationship might not work out.
The music your roommate likes sucks. Their taste in TV shows sucks. They’re too messy.
They’re too neat. They’re always home. They’re never home. They keep using your stuff
without asking, even though you’ve spoken to them about it a zillion times. If everything about
the roommate situation you’re currently in annoys you, it’s time to consider getting out. Says

12. 7/30/2018 9 Signs Your Roommate Is Bringing You Down

Richardson, "When you nd yourself angry about things that don’t normally bother you, it may
be because you are frustrated with your roommate about something else."
What's more, it's probably not making for a great living situation for your roommate, either. In
addition to the fact that you feel irritated all the time, they might also be picking up on it and
have no idea what they did — or maybe they do know, but they don’t care enough to change it
or they think it’s on you to deal with it. Either way, this is a big sign that the whole thing is
getting toxic. It might not even be anyone’s fault; it might just be that you’re incompatible.
And that’s ne. All you have to do is make it to the end of the lease and nd a new situation
when it’s up — or, if you absolutely have to get out early, nd someone to sublet your room if
you’re legally allowed to do so or see whatever alternative solutions you can arrange in the
meantime. Keep your butt covered, but do whatever you have to do to get yourself into a
situation that works for you.
Good luck.
