Entrepreneurs Organization Global Leadership Conference (New Orleans, Hong Kong)

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

eo-7I was invited to speak at the Entrepreneurs Organization (EO) Global Leadership Conference that was held at the Ritz Hotel in New Orleans last week. It was a fantastic event with over 500 entrepreneurs from all over North and South America. The topic I presented was using online tools to systematize, automate, promote and grow your business. I will be doing the same talk at the end of this month in Hong Kong at the second EO Global Leadership Conference. (they do 2 a year and allow member entrepreneurs to pick the location that best suits them) Lots of the things we do, can be done by any business – including real estate agents. From systematizing and/or automating many of the processes you complete daily to using offshore assets to complete tasks for you. Here is a great read to get you in the mind set of what could be possible, or feel free to contact me as to how we can help you.

Move Your Existing Website Design to Ubertor

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

The team over at SplitMango.com have been doing some interesting work on the Ubertor website system. They have been moving over websites to Ubertor that have an existing look and feel that the Realtor wants to keep but adding the features of the Ubertor website software. It is a great way to keep your custom design and add the full feature set of the Ubertor system. Here is their latest example (still under construction, but you can see the 2 versions)
