Congrats...good word spreads like butter! Heard you did a bang-up job!

Congratulations. I wish more realtors wouldn't find out about blogging :-( Those of us who are working on it don't want to let the "secret" out of the bag.

Jim, congratulations! Before I started my own two brokerage firms, I was with Keller Williams Realty here in Tampa. It's a great company. Still today I have gotten together with many of the agents for social activities and networking.

Hey Jim,
Congratualtions...no surprise they "discovered" you. I sorta have to agree with Cindy... it's great for you, too bad bad the competition is learning from one of the best..

Kudos to you! Is it a mere coincidence that your recent popularity explosion coincided with the hire of Molly?

Mega Camp is a great event...you'll enjoy it. You already have some KW bloggers in your camp...
Posted by: Jackie Colson-Miller | Jul 23, 2007 8:26:01 AM
You go, Jim! I've been to several of the KW events, including the Mastermind sessions and the annual Family Reunion. I PROMISE you'll be amazed.... and will be adding an important 'voice' that people will be avidly listening to.
Congratulations....

Congrads on another speaking event- you truly are a leader. But as you advance up the ladder- remember that you are tomato sauce not tomato juice. Juice is raw, watery, bitter and comes out of can. Sauce is cooked for hours, has flavor and taste and texture- all done with tender loving care. As any Italian will tell you- everyone's sauce is unique and their signature. All made from tomatoes but each if different.
And that's what you do with us- take us from tomato juice- to sauce.
Have fun in Austin in AUGUST!

Congrats!! Should be a blast. See you there!

Thanks so much everyone! We are fired up for the event.
Hope to see as many of you as we can while we are there on Monday. Unfortunately, we can't stay the whole week because of another special event in Miami that very next day.
Mary,
I loved the whole Juice vs Sauce thing - Very cool

Jim, You did a fabulous job speaking at Mega Camp yesterday in front of over 3000 Mega-Agents. Of course some people still do not "get" blogging ... However, you definitely put a much-needed bug in the ears of MANY agents.
What you spoke about resonated throughout last night and into todays sessions. I am sure that you will be brought up again in tomorrows technology sessions.
Thank you for the shirt, and I hope that you like your fully custom, limited edition, one of two ever made, tomato magnets!

Great Job!!! This was one of the highlights of the event. Our group from New Jersey was truely blown away.
It was sad, however, to see so many people walk out of the event during your segment. What a loss.
Thanks again.

I wish that I could just be a roadie for the rock stars of the Tomato.

So you inspired me to start my blog - after having heard you speak at the Keller Williams Mega Agent Camp I FINALLY saw the wisdom of starting a local blog! You talk was wonderful and very inspiring and I just can't thank you enough for getting me to understand the benefit to having a website AND a blog. Tara

Wow..Wow..Wow..Jim honestly you stole the stage at Mega Agent Camp 2007. (after Eric Johnson and Gary Keller of Course..established Legends)Not far behind, you are slicing your way through the industry with your vision. I am curious about one thing. During your presentation someone (I think it was Dave Jenks) interupted your presentation to inform you of something. What was that all about?
The passion you had about your topic reached the whole audience. I read your article today about Broker Blog Power. Hold on folks..the Tomato is coming..Remeber that movie?..Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!
