			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://chestercountyrealestateguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/KWOutFrontArticle-ChrisLaGarde-Scan.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-789" style="border: 2px solid black;" title="KWOutFrontArticle-ChrisLaGarde-Thumb" src="http://chestercountyrealestateguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/KWOutFrontArticle-ChrisLaGarde-Thumb.jpg" alt="KWOutFrontArticle-ChrisLaGarde-Thumb" width="300" height="225" /></a>Last summer I it took a &#8220;bold&#8221; step out into the unknown and signed up for a new and intense Keller Williams training course called &#8220;BOLD: Business Objective &#8211; Life of Design&#8221;. Intense it was. . . The entire 8 week course was geared around conditioning our thinking and mindset, and the skills needed to achieve the goals that we set. It was like getting a personal trainer named &#8220;Sven&#8221; who looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger and that scared the heck out of you to get you in shape. And did it ever!</p>
<p>To appreciate the change that this course had on me, you must understand who I am. I am an artist NOT a sales person. I never wanted to go into sales. I perceived sales people as inauthentic &#8211; fake &#8211; just wanting to make a buck. I love to help people and please people and as a result my moods were always up and down depending on what was going on in my life.  I have even struggled with depression in the past.</p>
<p>Since completing the BOLD course, my life is very different. Not that BOLD is alone responsible, as I have a deep faith in Jesus Christ that really is the under pinning of all success I have had and will have. But, I do have to say that the coach, Michaelann Byerly, and the course itself helped me gain the skills and mindset that seemed to be unachievable previously. It has affected every area of my life. Not only do I love what I do with a deep passion but my personal life has improved as well. It has made me a better father, a better husband, a better friend and someone who is aiming to contribute to my community in ways that I never imagined.</p>
<p>In short, I literally walked away a different person. So different in fact, that Keller Williams International decided to <a href="http://chestercountyrealestateguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/KWOutFrontArticle-ChrisLaGarde-Scan.pdf">feature me in an article for their bi-monthly company magazine.</a> They wrote a great article on how the course has effected me and I wanted to share it with you.   I am honestly don&#8217;t really like the attention. But since it has been given, I honestly hope that it inspires, not only other real estate agents, but everyone, to take the steps necessary to achieve the goals that they have set for themselves. After all, if an artist who despises sales people can achieve what I have in the Real Estate business, then anything is possible!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As those who know me know &#8211; I just recently graduated from an intense 2 month real estate training course called &#8220;BOLD: Business objective &#8211; a life by design&#8221; and it was incredible.</p>
<p>The training and coaching took a holistic approach and dealt not just with your business but with you and your personal life as well.</p>
<p>The area where BOLD had the deepest effect on me and my business was on my mindset. Being an &#8220;artist&#8221;, discipline and focus has ALWAYS been a ongoing challenge for me.</p>
<p>BOLD has helped me build the habits, the focus and the accountability needed to achieve the goals I have set.</p>
<p>August has been my best month ever &#8211; by far &#8211; with 5 pendings, or $1.2 million in volume and $37,500 in GCI. <strong>That&#8217;s an ROI better than 4300%.</strong> My business was in a lull previous to BOLD and had no pendings and few motivated clients.</p>
<p>There will be a new session starting up in a couple of weeks if any real estate agents are intersted.</p>
