In this episode, Blaine talks about the spring time, time management, remodeling your life and business, and the importance of taking recovery time to be the absolute best person you can be.

Blaine discusses the important mindset shift necessary for appraisers to see their time off, not as reward for hard work, but as a necessary precondition of success. Taking the vital time to refresh, recover, remodel, and then get results (read:income!) is an absolute MUST and vital key to success in all areas of life and business.

In this episode, Blaine Feyen talks about the variety of masks and hats we wear throughout our lives based on the different roles we may be playing at that time. Mother, Father, Sister, Brother, Mechanic, Truck Driver, Banker, and Appraiser. They are all things we call ourselves and ultimately our identity becomes part of those things we call ourselves. 

When we start to identify more with what we do and less with who we are, problems start. We treat others based on who we think we are and we judge them based on what it is they do and less on who they are as human beings.

Regardless of what it is you do for a living, you are not that thing! That is just something you do for a period of time to earn money. You are not appraisers, that is just something you have chosen to do with some portion of your limited time as a human. Figure out who you really are and life tends to flow much easier.

In this episode, Blaine talks more about the 'clarity through contrast' reframing strategy for turning negative self talk into positive actions and activities. Blaine drops a killer Helen Keller quote and expounds on why not to avoid risk in an attempt to be safe.

Blaine also reveals his former life as a 'skippy', or an appraiser who may not have fully understood everything that could, and should, be done to make an appraisal credible and reliable. Blaine talks about how we all start out somewhat the same in that regard and how most appraisers are mentored in a very similar way. It wasn't until Blaine went out on his own and was responsible for training other appraisers that he started to realize just how much he still had to learn.

Blaine suggests a little compassion toward the 'skippy' crowd as most of them simply suffer from unconscious incompetence and just don't know what they don't know. With a little compassion and some willingness to help, many skippies could be reformed and trained into becoming good appraisers.

In this episode, appraiser success coach, Blaine Feyen, talks about the little known but heavily studied art and skill of rapport building. Building rapport is crucial to successful communications between any two or more human beings and is so often neglected. Rapport building is never taught in school yet is often the main reason people don't connect in almost every area of their lives. 

The secrets to building rapport lie buried deep within all of us and Blaine gives a few steps to building rapport as a key strategy for building a strong network and attracting new, and better, appraisal business from a variety of sources. 

If you have any interest in attracting more non-lender appraisal business and dumping the AMCs, this is the podcast for you. Be sure to take some notes because there is homework!
