Rolling University. A tremendous learning environment for all of us.

Rolling University is a pleasant place with an almost infinite amount of specialized teaching designed for Realtors, lenders and others involved in the home buying/selling process. You won't find Rolling University in most lists of top ten universities but it should be in yours. Tuition is negligible and the curriculum is extremely diverse. The professors are all top experts in their field. And they don't mind if you have to duck out of class for a while. They will wait until you come back because the classes are taught one on one.

Rolling University, if you have not already guessed, is your automobile. The only tuition is a part of your time, since there are many great training and inspirational CDs that you and your co-workers already own. There are many great programs by such trainers as Joe Stumpf, Mike Ferry and, one of my favorites, Floyd Wickman. Additionally there are trainings available from general teachers such as Tom Hopkins, Brian Tracy, Dale Carnegie and so many more. I have made it a policy to only use my car radio to fill my mind with those things that can improve my skills, my attitude or my leadership abilities. That means no radio.......... Period. I see agents every day who use their radio to play music for enjoyment. As Floyd Wickman says "They got no business, but they sure got rythym".

My favorite of all is Floyd's "Protecting Your Commission". What is your favorite?
