You may be wondering what a Best – Selling author and marketing genius like Seth Godin might have in common with a realtor from Colts Neck New Jersey, correct?
Well…..It’s a long story, and if you know me, you know that my stories usually are but I will try to make this short and painless.
Seth Godin was scheduled to deliver the keynote address in Atlanta Georgia for the Keller Williams Realty yearly convention known to all as “Family Reunion”
I was more than excited to say the least to hear Seth speak. I surely did not want to miss the author of 9 best selling books teach me how to set myself apart from the real estate pack and propel myself to “SUPER STARDOM”, well more SUPER than I already am but I digress.
I was staying on the 30th floor at the Westin hotel in Atlanta. On Tuesday February 12th, I awoke at 5:30am to find that there was NO HOT water in my hotel room. Somehow the power had gone out in part of the hotel. Not only were the boilers not working, the elevators were not working either. I was extremely upset, more so because I didn’t want to miss seeing Seth. I paced back and forth in my hotel room trying to come up with a solution to my problem. Surely Seth would give his speech to more than 8,000 Keller Williams agents and I would be the only one to miss him. Leaving without taking a shower was absolutely NOT an option for me!
Synergy is a funny thing. The stars must have been aligned on this particular day because little did I know that on the 67th floor of the same hotel, Seth Godin himself was facing the same predicament.
What are the chances that two people unknown to one another would be staying at the same facility and find themselves facing the same exact situation?
Ok, Ok, there might be a mathematical equation that proves that the chances are not that slim but far off enough to make my point compelling.
While Mr. Godin was concerned about how he would deliver his speech, I was concerned about how I was going to hear him give that speech.

I on the other hand did what any great and resourceful real estate agent would do. I requested a bucket, poured cold water through the coffee machine (no coffee filter of course!) collected enough burning hot water (approximately 45 mins) to combine with the cold water and was able to take a shower, get ready, walk down the 30 flights of stairs and still make it on time to see Seth Godin live and in person.
It was completely worth every ounce of effort that was put forth on my part to be able to witness this amazing Icon on that fateful day.
Synergy, Seth Godin and Sarah Bandy a real estate consultant from New Jersey, just may be kindred spirits….just maybe

Hi! I'm Tyler.
I'm always sitting under my Mom's desk as she does her Real Estate work.
No one knows who I am so I thought I'd create this blog and introduce myself.
I am a 4 year old Pomeranian. I live in Colts Neck New Jersey and my mom is a Real Estate agent who works for Better Homes Realty, the Colts Neck office.
Please check in often as I will be blogging all about the upcoming news and life underneath my Mom's desk! Plus my mom herself and some contributing writers will also be hanging around to talk Real Estate. Hope to hear from you soon.
BARK BARK!
