Raytheon, Saab Demonstrating New Guided Munition for Carl-Gustaf Weapon System Under U.S. Army Contract
Raytheon and Swedish aerospace and defense firm Saab are demonstrating a new guided munition for the Carl-Gustaf man-portable, shoulder-launched weapon system under a U.S. Army contract.
There will be three all-up-round test firings against threat-representative targets. This new munition answers a U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) requirement to increase the capability of the multirole Carl-Gustaf weapon system built by Saab.
The Carl-Gustaf weapon system is used by the U.S. Army and ground forces of more than 40 other countries and has been modernized to meet the changing needs of soldiers operating in the world's most demanding combat environments.
"The Carl-Gustaf system paired with this new guided munition gives U.S. and coalition dismounted forces a tremendous advantage on the battlefield," said Kim Ernzen, Raytheon Land Warfare Systems vice president. "The munition is intended to enable ground troops to engage multiple targets precisely at distances up to 2,000 meters, including moving targets."
The munition's advanced warhead penetrates light armor, bunkers and concrete structures while minimizing collateral damage. With increased range, the new munition offers greater protection for ground troops by enabling them to fire at targets from inside structures.
In 2017, Raytheon announced its partnership with Saab to develop new weapons for infantry forces.
"Collaborating with Raytheon, utilizing their technical and product excellence in combination with our innovative technology solutions, will enhance the already world-leading Carl-Gustaf and AT4 weapon systems with additional capabilities that will further increase the operational benefit for the end user," said Görgen Johansson, who leads Saab's Dynamics business.
Raytheon and Saab will oversee test firing of the guided Carl-Gustaf munition planned for 2020 in Sweden.

The 10 Essentials
Developed by the respected outdoor organization The Mountaineers in 1974 and recommended by the National Park Service, the 10 Essentials refers to 10 categories of items that everyone heading into the wilderness should have with them, even if just for a day hike. A quick hike can turn into a freezing night on the mountain if you get lost or hurt, and this list of supplies is the recommended bare minimum that hikers should take with them. The complete kit should weigh only a few pounds and fit inside a small day pack. These items don't have to be expensive, and if you're hiking more than a mile from your vehicle, can prove invaluable for you and others.
Compass, Map and GPS
In this age of cell phones and GPS, navigation is often considered a given by novice hikers. But what happens when batteries die, and has the time been taken to properly learn how to use these devices? Experienced hikers recommend having a topographical map and a compass, at least as a backup to electronics. They are straightforward to use and orient, and don't depend on batteries. Hikers should frequently check where they are to create a "breadcrumb trail" of their route and know exactly where they are and how long it will take to get back to their vehicle. Cell phone apps such as Gaia turn your phone into a GPS unit even when offline, but make sure to download the maps before you lose coverage.
Sun Protection
Even in the dead of winter, SPF-rated sun protection is a necessity when outside. Sun reflecting off of snow can be intense and cause severe sunburns. On cloudy days, ultraviolet light still makes it through the cloud cover and can cause burns, and if you're at a high altitude the effects are greatly magnified. UV400 sunglasses and a hat are obvious, but long pants and loose-fitting long-sleeved shirts are recommended in the summer to protect exposed skin. Wide-brimmed hats to protect the ears and neck coverings such as a bandana are recommended as well. The axiom "Slip! Slop! Slap!" made famous in Australia refers to slipping on a shirt, slopping on sunscreen and slapping on a hat, and has been credited with reducing the cases of melanoma worldwide.
Hot summer days can turn into frigid nights quickly after the sun sets or when a thunderstorm rolls in, especially in the mountains and desert. Having a packable insulated jacket can at the very least make your delay more pleasant, and at most keep hypothermia from setting in if you get stuck. Avoid cotton clothing as cotton absorbs and retains sweat and moisture, contributing to cooling (this goes for socks and underwear, too). Also, having a way to retain body heat is important in treating certain types of shock and other medical emergencies.
You don't need light until you need it. And when you need it, you really need it. It may seem silly to take a flashlight on a summer day hike, but if for whatever reason you're kept out after dark that light is invaluable. Even a small, lightweight light or headlamp thrown into your pack and forgotten about can be a life-saver if needed. It can be spotted by any search and rescue teams out looking for you. Make sure your batteries are good or that the light is charged before heading out, and it's never a bad idea to have a small backup light. Don't count on using your cell phone's flashlight as it quickly drains the battery, and you'll need your phone for trying to contact help or using the GPS.
First Aid
Medical issues in the backcountry tend to be either little or huge. Scrapes and sprains are some of the most common issues encountered, as are cuts from improper knife use and burns from stoves and campfires. An injury can make the mile-long hike back to the car seem like a hundred. A small, lightweight kit of gauze patches, a roll of medical tape, a few Band-Aids, antibacterial ointment and an Ace bandage will take care of 90-percent of the problems encountered. Tweezers are helpful for splinters and removing debris from wounds. Lightweight splints such as a SAM splint are helpful with hurt wrists, but items such as a hiking pole can be used in a pinch. Study how to wrap an ankle properly with an Ace bandage or medical tape before heading out to maximize support so that the victim can hike out. Over-the-counter pain medications such as acetaminophen are good to have, and antihistamines such as Benadryl are useful in the event of allergic reactions, stings and rashes. Imodium pills are invaluable for treating sudden gastrointestinal issues that can ruin a trip and even lead to dehydration. Sugar packs can be useful for diabetics in an emergency. All of these items can be stored in a watertight sandwich bag or similar compact container. Make sure to have any specific medication needed by you or anyone in your party on hand, and be aware if anyone has any severe allergies, diabetes or other issues and what to do if they present. VSSL First Aid kits come in lightweight, waterproof, modular cylinders that carry everything you need for most minor mishaps.
Under duress it can be far more difficult than it would seem to start a campfire (Is there wood? Is it dry?). A small lightweight camp stove and fuel can create heat instantly, and can actually provide more usable heat than a campfire. Stoves can also provide fast emergency heat while a larger fire is made (we won't worry about fire regulations in your area in an emergency). Lighters are preferable to waterproof matches, and clothes dryer lint and even Fritos make excellent fire tinder. Magnesium fire starters work well in all conditions; make sure you know how to use these inexpensive, lightweight devices before an emergency. Fires can make a good signal for search parties, just don't let it get out of control, and make sure your fire is dead out before leaving the area. Know the symptoms of hypothermia for yourself and others and what to do if they present. The best way to stay warm is to keep moving, and having an insulated sleeping pad to sit on and high-energy food help you maintain your core temperature when resting.
A knife is the hiking go-to tool, but pliers are used far more for tasks such as repairing hike poles and removing hot cups from a stove. A small knife is useful to shave kindling for a fire; big knives look cool but often only add weight, and are a leading cause of injuries when hiking and camping (along with burns from stoves and fires). Most multi-tools contain both, and don't need to be big. The Gerber Dime weighs 2 ounces and includes tweezers for removing splinters and cleaning wounds. Scissors for cutting medical and repair tape are handy. Repair tape is extremely useful, inexpensive and lightweight, and can be wrapped around a hiking pole until you need it. A couple of turns of good ol' duct tape can be useful, too.
Don't hike hungry. Bonking -- when your body runs out of energy and begins to shut down during activity -- can be dangerous in the backcountry. There are many high-energy foods in small packages available on the market, such as Stinger energy bars and gels. Almonds and chocolate are quick snacks with high energy output, and even a few ounces could give you the energy boost to make those last few miles back to the car.
Until science figures out how to dehydrate water, you'll have to carry it or find it. And water always weighs 2.2 pounds per liter (32 ounces). It will be the heaviest thing you'll carry, and also the most important. No matter what the temperature, you'll need to maintain appropriate water intake for strenuous activity. A general rule of thumb is to drink one liter of water per hour of strenuous hiking in heat. If you know there is water where you'll be hiking, a lightweight water filter such as LifeStraw or the MSR TrailShot saves you from carrying water.
Day hikes don't require a full tent, but a lightweight tarp or bivy sack can help you weather a rain shower with dropping temperatures or spend the night outdoors if necessary. Mylar sheets, often called "space blankets," fold from typically 4 feet by 7 feet down to the size of a wallet, weigh just a few ounces and cost less than $2. They are excellent for retaining body heat, creating a quick lean-to or tent, keeping a patient warm or even sitting on to prevent heat loss through the ground. They can also be used as emergency mirrors if necessary, and provide shade. Emergency bivy (short for "bivouac") sacks are essentially a space blanket in a sleeping bag form, cost less than $15 and weigh less than 4 ounces. These plus your insulated jacket can get you safely through a cold, unexpected night outside with very little weight and space penalty in your day pack. Reusable, lightweight, more rugged and larger tarps such as Big Agnes' Onyx UL Tarp can quickly be put up to provide everything from weather protection to an overnight shelter.

Savored for its sweet, complex and crisp flavor, the Bourbon coffee varietal in a washed process won't disappoint your morning cup! Roasted to perfection in a delicious Vienna roast which satisfies the discerning coffee drinker who prefers a darker roast.
Vienna Roast is characterized by a slightly deeper color than our Dark Natural roast, with small spots of oil on the bean's surface. This oil, which comes from within the coffee bean, is brought to the surface by the prolonged roasting time. The oil is important in the flavor of brewed coffee at higher roast levels, the greater presence of oil is what gives dark roasted coffee its distinguishable taste.

Media Matters, the liberal activist group that wages a rhetorical war against Fox News Channel and others in the conservative press, will announce on Wednesday the receipt of a $1 million donation from the philanthropist George Soros.
In a statement obtained by The Caucus, the organization says it plans to use the money to intensify its efforts to hold the Fox host Glenn Beck and others on the cable news channel accountable for their reporting.
Fresh food that lasts from eFoods Direct (Ad)
"Fox has transformed itself into a 24-7 G.O.P. attack machine, dividing Americans through fear-mongering and falsehoods and undermining the legitimacy of our government for partisan political ends," the group will say in the statement, to be released Wednesday afternoon.

The Marshall AS100D is a quality amplifier that has proven to be invaluable to a great many people. Whether you're a one man band performing at open-mic nights, or even an Irish Jig trio, the AS100D contains everything you'd need to produce a high quality professional sound. You get 4 channels with this beauty, including 2 instrument channels, 1 vocal channel, and even a stereo channel for external audio devices, so you could play along with backing tracks or play CD's during your set breaks!
As everybody knows feedback from mics can be harsh on the ear, and unfortunately with acoustic music it's more likely to happen too. Thankfully those clever chaps at Marshall have built in an effective Anti-Feedback system to eradicate those unwanted howls! The AS100D also has some great sounding FX built in sweeten your sound.
If you're anything more than a 2 or 3 piece group, you may want to consider purchasing a small P.A system instead which would allow you a bit more freedom for vocals etc. However, for intimate sounding performances with say up to 2 instruments and a vocalist, the AS100D is absolutely perfect, with enough power to comfortably project your music at small/medium sized gigs. Top marks!
Here's what Marshall say about the AS100D 2x50W Acoustic Guitar Amp
For the acoustic player who wants it all, we offer the comprehensively featured and powerful AS100D - a 50Watt + 50Watt, 2x 8 inch combo with two high fidelity, polymer dome tweeters. The AS100D has been specially created for use with a variety of acoustic instruments and now boasts new and improved speakers conceived by our design experts in conjunction with Celestion. Between its four channels, this combo has the flexibility to handle instruments with piezo transducers or magnetic pick-ups, plus microphones, for both vocal and instrument reproduction. For those using two pick-ups via a single stereo jack, the two main Acoustic Channels (1 and 2) can be linked together via a 'Link' switch, affording you independent Volume and EQ controls for each pick-up. The other two channels are a dedicated Microphone channel (3) and an Auxiliary channel (4), the latter of which has phono (RCA) stereo inputs specifically for use with external audio equipment. The AS100D houses an internal limiter to ensure you can achieve maximum output while your sound remains distortion free.
Even though the AS100D's 50Watt + 50Watt stereo configuration offers more than enough power for many typical acoustic music venues, a stereo pair of balanced XLR DI outs and Line Outs allow you to connect directly to an external PA system for larger venues. When playing live, one of the most difficult aspects of amplifying acoustic instruments is unwanted feedback. To help eliminate this, the AS100D features several 'anti-feedback' controls, including an individual Phase switch on channels 1, 2 & 3, plus two frequency controllable Notch Filters with selectable extra depth for channels 1 & 2.
The superb quality of the 16 built-in, adjustable stereo digital effects (10 Reverbs, Delay, Chorus & more) adds an entirely new dimension to the already wide range of sounds this professional combo has to offer. Additionally, there is also a stereo Parallel Effects Loop, complete with Level Control, on the rear panel. Compact and portable, the stylish AS100D offers great flexibility and is the ideal amplifier for the acoustic player who wants the highest quality performance, with absolutely natural tonal reproduction.

(This is a sequel to the previous post)
– Ideas matter. One of the lines of thought which heavily influenced my outlook was that a society is ultimately just an aggregate of individuals – individuals who have free-will – and hence the strength of that society stands or falls on the actions of the individual. We change society by first changing ourselves. While it's true that feedback from the social and material level of things influences us and constrains the choices we can make, change has to be bottom-up rather than top-down. Or to put it in less individualistic terms, it requires actual communities based around a certain ideal to form and to work towards bringing it about.
– Hence so much political thought in general is just absolutely odious and corrosive, since it shifts the discussion away from ethics and personal responsibility. A lot of leftist thought is particularly bad because it tends to reduce the individual to a cipher.
– The article notes that, conservatives "rarely mention hyperconsumerism or advertising or a rigidifying class structure—the byproducts of advanced capitalism." Well, I'll agree that the current consumerist mentality is largely a by-product of the success of capitalism, and needs to be resisted in some fashion. But you can only resist something like consumerism with some sort of positive set of personal values and principles, and the only values typically on offer from a leftist perspective are things like fairness and egalitarianism. The current wisdom tends to be along the lines that the objectivity of the good tends to be limited to political arrangements, and beyond that it's subjective. And if one's subjective good generates bad consequences, it becomes a matter of objective justice to make the arrangements that spare you from those consequences, which would encroach on the freedom of your subjectivity. Hence the solution usually boils down to government intervention. The progressivist mentality tends to attack the sort of values and traditions which would give people the resilience they need, and really just makes it more easy for people to be victimized and defined by the forces they claim to descry. We can talk about class in more detail some other time.
– The overall drift of the article is that the right evaluates things according to whether they are traditional/religious/agree with their personal preferences, etc. while the left, because it isn't attached to any sort of traditionalism, is better equipped for the disinterested pursuit of the truth. It would be more correct to say that the right is principally interested in conserving things while the left is interested in changing things. While one of these options might turn out to be more truth preserving, truth per-se is not immediately the modus operandi on either side. Or to put it another way: if you think your pursuit of the truth is disinterested, you're just blind to your own prejudices and interests and hence are even more suspect. Once our cards are on the table we can be more objective in seeing whether our desires are pointing us in the right direction or not.

Wells Fargo's Problems Spread to Business Lending
Wells Fargo expects two classes of business loans to fall from second-quarter levels. Photo: Richard Drew/Associated Press
Wells Fargo is having a tough time growing its loan book. The drumbeat of negative news around its governance issues is one reason for its struggles, and shooting the messenger won't help.
Chief Financial Officer John Shrewsberry said at a conference on Friday that he expects two key classes of business loans, commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans, to fall from second-quarter levels, although he didn't specify an exact time frame. Wells Fargo's total loans outstanding at the end of the second quarter were down by $3 billion compared with the prior quarter, driven by declines in consumer and commercial real-estate loans. Commercial and industrial loans rose.
Several midsize regional lenders also warned of soft lending this week, which hit their share prices. But most merely cited a slowdown, not an outright decline. Wells Fargo's big bank peers Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase actually gave upbeat lending outlooks.
Mr. Shrewsberry cited a host of factors, including deliberate lending discipline, strong capital markets that provide an alternative funding source and a competitive environment, including from nonbank lenders. But he also acknowledged for the first time that reputational issues may be hurting its commercial-lending business, not just the consumer business where the impact has long been obvious.
Fresh revelations of governance issues at the bank have continued to dribble out in recent months. And they haven't been limited to the retail bank, where the account-sales controversy first emerged in 2016. In the second quarter of this year, for instance, Wells booked $171 million of costs to compensate customers who were improperly charged for currency trades. This month, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Justice Department is probing whether employees in Wells Fargo's wholesale-banking unit committed fraud by adding information to customer documents without their consent as recently as this year.
Given all this negative news flow, it isn't surprising that some companies would rather borrow from someone else if pricing and terms are similar.
Asked at Friday's conference when the bad news might abate, Mr. Shrewsberry was blunt. "A lot of these negative headlines refer to things that have been previously really well aired and vetted, but it's a very reliable ad seller, I think, and it's a business model for some people," he said, making clear he was referring to journalists.
Shifting blame to those who helped bring its lapses to light is unlikely to reassure potential clients or investors that Wells Fargo is taking its issues as seriously as it should. The bank's competitors are pulling ahead while it remains stuck in the mud. Despite this, its shares are still relatively expensive at 1.5 times book value. There is still no reason for investors to hold this stock.

Dream Vacation
I have been staying at this hotel for the past 4 years pretty regularly between business and family holidays, it started out with business. I stopped my family in for 1 day during a Disney holiday last year to stop in and visit my customer and my family did not allow us to leave after 1 day . This year we came back for a full week. My daughter wrote a letter to the maids telling them how much she loved the Tamarack. My wireless works on the patio when I am here on business! watching dolphins and writing a trip report in the morning – amazing. The manager of the hotel asks me for feedback as I have stayed frequently and every time I come back there are improvements related to that feedback (not that there is much room for many).
For the kids, they have a games room, movies, DVD players in the rooms, a heated salt water pool with an adult and children's hot tub. for business I love it, the staff remember me and make me feel very welcome when I return and I have a dream work area with all of my needs accommodated. For my family vacation, our kids keep telling us how much they love us! that sums up their opinion for me. I have been and will continue to strongly recommend the Tamarack as a Great place to stay when in California. BTW, it is directly across the street from a great beach… and there is tons of great shopping very close by as well and home of Legoland.

Growers can use their TerrAvion NDVI imagery to monitor and evaluate seed, chemical, and fertilizer performances in their fields. In this example, an area infested with Pythium Root Rot runs diagonally across the field. The grower planted different hybrids in alternating rows to see which grew better in the infested areas. The July 16 imagery shows that one hybrid, identified above with black arrows, is outperforming the rows marked with white arrows in the infested area. The September 11 imagery shows that this trend holds true two months later. The NDVI imagery allows you to compare the performance of the hybrids in a way that is not possible without it as in-field scouting and natural color imagery showed little if any growth variation.
Use TerrAvion aerial imagery to evaluate seed variety and chemical performance. Remove the guesswork surrounding whether a particular variety outperformed another or a chemical application actually worked by monitoring the crop performance during the growing season.

Our Definitive Star Margarine Ranking: Who Knew They Had 6 Different Flavors?November 15, 2019
- PepperWords
- Jerome JocsonPhotos
Margarine is an indispensable ingredient in any Filipino kitchen. The butter substitute is basically processed vegetable oil commonly used for cooking, baking, and flavoring. We wouldn't use it ourselves today, especially since there are so many better (butter?) options in the market for its purpose. But we'll have to admit, the taste of margarine is one that's stained in our palates from childhood, particularly Star Margarine. We all know about the classic flavor, but we were surprised to discover five others with it in the self. So we had to ask—which of these variants is the best? (And which one of them is the worst?)
6. Sweet Blend
We'll give it points for kind of tasting like butter. But the Sweet Blend flavor throws us off with its rank smell and unpleasant (a member of the team said it tasted like poison) taste. We found white crystals in the margarine; and all of us thought it was sugar—you know, since it's supposed to be sweet. So we were pretty frazzled finding out it was actually salt.
5. Chocolate
The brown hue of the chocolate variant took some adjusting to. (Probably because we're predisposed to visualize Star Margarine as yellow, or at least something close to that.) But flavor-wise, it wasn't too bad. Its comparable to the chocolate filling you get from cracker sandwiches, both in smell and taste. But its thick, greasy mouthfeel reminds you that it's not.
4. Vanilla
The vanilla margarine was inoffensive. Just like its chocolate sibling, it tastes like the filling of butter sandwiches, but with a different kind of sweetness to it. "It tastes like you spent one peso for a Funfetti cake," said a member of the team. But hey, you were willing to buy it.
3. Classic
The classic Star Margarine brings us back to our childhood. It tastes slightly salty, greasy, and (apparently, to some of us) meaty. But it's a flavor we wouldn't mind tasting. And, of course, it has plus points for being the most versatile one in the bunch.
2. Caramel
We were actually pleasantly surprised by the caramel variant. It smells very sweet; and its taste reminds us of the cream cheese topping of milk tea—if it were fatty, that is. You still can't shake the fact that its margarine, but it's a "game-changer," as one of us described it. We'd maybe be open to using it to flavor some caramel desserts.
1. Garlic
Star Margarine's garlic flavor was a clear winner. It's just like the classic, but with garlic powder—making it a million times better. It smells just like garlic, and even has the sharpness of the actual aromatic, without it actually being there. This one proved to be the most true to its advertised flavor, plus we think its the most usable in savory dishes. "It tastes like you'll put it on garlic rice," someone from the team claimed. And we're not at all opposed to that.

Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever!!
Chocolate chip cookies are a part of many of my best childhood memories. I remember countless times making cookies with my dad and siblings. After making them we would fight over who got to lick the beaters. The smell of baking cookies would fill the whole house. Lucky none of us ever got sick from eating the raw eggs.
Now that I have kids I love baking with them just like I used to bake when I was a kid. Since we are all vegan in my household I had to do some testing to find the prefect vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe. I have tried many different egg re-placers :the store bought kind, bananas and applesauce. But I have found that tofu and ground flax seed mixed with water works the best!
These cookies are so delicious!! I make them for parties all the time and every time someone asks for the recipe. Most people are shocked to find out that they have tofu and flax seed in them!
And the very best part about vegan baking is there is no fear of getting sick from licking the spoon. You can even just make a big bowl of cookie dough and eat it all!!!!

Education could be about teaching people how to think, not what to think. In fact, now it isn't even teaching them what to think, it's about teaching people not the think at all.
Compliance is the tool of the industrialised, mass world, system. It is way of propagating the myths that will ensure that everything and everyone is safely in order.
Risk is a dirty word and curiosity has been stifled by fear.
If we only ever look in the rear view mirror to see what to do, then we will only ever repeat what has been done before.
We could risk looking forward, taking a different route, thinking for ourselves, being curious, and discovering something new, something different, something that will change the world.
The human race has to unlearn compliance and learn how to think.
Freedom is our greatest gift as humans. We need to learn to think again while we still have the freedom to do so.

Best Real Estate Recruiting Systems Menlo Park California has actually been among minority concrete components of the majority of the effective Realtors business for a number of years. As an outcome of the complexity that Realtors face in running their realty approaches effectively, they actually commonly look for outdoors resources to publication in addition to trainer them. To be a fulfilling Real estate agent, there needs to be a genuine "company owner" attitude covering all elements of business from financial investment, back into their businesses for advertising, client follow up, advertising as well as marketing the houses they represent available, the attraction of possible customers to utilize their solutions, and so forth. Afterwards the book-keeping that is had to track various business advancement activities. The hiring of group, such as assistants along with various other employee. Every one of these components mean risk and also assets on gross earnings. That danger needs to be meticulously inspected to remain on the fulfilling side of the balance sheet. It is exceptionally easy to purchase or sign up for a never ending checklist of tools, software application, apps, gadgets, electronic photography, video manufacturing, and so on that provide the pitch of "You will just need to make one additional sale to cover the price of this!" You see, having Best Real Estate Recruiting Systems in Menlo Park California isn't really a job, it is a job that if done right, feels as well as look like a business with in a business. The wise and wise representatives use a method to route their company in addition to to figure out which devices they really do require. No one can run a successful real estate business strategy without devices and systems, the challenge is recognizing which devices, at exactly just what time and also in just what series. The Realty Brokers that I have actually looked into, coached as well as functioned closely with understand that having the suitable coach is incredibly crucial in accomplishing and also maintaining these columns of company with uniformity as well as ultimately a healthy and balanced and well balanced net revenue.
Serving Menlo Park 94025,94026,94027,94028,94029
The very best Realty Broker - Train is not always the most affordable or the most costly. The Leading 3 Tips in working with the "Right" Coach:
1.) Start with a reasonable analysis of where you are currently at in your company. i.e. You're a more recent Real estate professional (first 2 -3 years) or You are currently developed as well as searching for advice on growing your business with a team, assistants and so forth, to "Producing a Saleable Real Estate Method" that has the ability to be offered when you want to retire and exit.
2.) Meeting 3 potential Coaches. Look for a good link, power, do they actually listen to your needs and also can you see yourself taking direction as well as improvements from this person.
3.) Money is not the best overview of use in picking the appropriate trainer. Maintain a longer term way of thinking, understanding that you will likely have a number of fantastic trainers throughout your occupation. With this type of point of view, do not want to extremes by being stingy with your bucks and do not simply thoughtlessly work with the most pricey instructor either.
Watch for my following collection of pointers on "Ways to obtain maximize YOUR growth as well as progress from your coaching relationship".
Just what is the difference in between Realty Broker Sales Educating and also Real Estate Representative Coaching, you ask? Usually, the Real estate agent Training Menlo Park is focused on the much more technological aspects of the buying and selling of residential real estate. Things like, how to create as well as carry out a deal, a contract, the myriad of disclosures, obtaining the details entered properly and timely into the MLS systems, purchasing inspections, attending the examinations, going to the closing, and so on. These are the vital functions of taking care of purchases, maintaining within the compliance steps as well as obtaining people moved in as well as out of the residences. Whereas Realtor Mentoring is planned to construct the Property Agents company to higher degrees, rise as well as include in the dimension of databases for previous customers, ball of influence calls, executing different company generation methods as well as methods. Realtor training is more the scientific research of business and the Real estate agent mentoring is the fine art of the business. Both are crucial but the last is what separates the hobby, part-time Property Representatives Menlo Park California from the high revenue earning, extremely affordable real professionals.
