Dear Friend,

I hope you're having a great week...

This week has been action packed.

Boating on Sydney Harbour on Saturday, Father’s Day Sunday, flew to Melbourne for the Twitter Workshop on Tuesday & squeezed 3 sessions of Boot Camp in there too PLUS I've been doing a power load of work on some real estate training tips designed to help real estate agents like you succeed.

The response from all of the attendees at the Twitter Workshops has been fantastic.

It was especially good to see agents going home & joining Twitter straight after the event & putting their ‘Go Forward Plan’ into action.

The dates for the next events in October are Sydney 27th, Brisbane 28th & Melbourne 29th.  If you'd like more information, click here.

Lets move onto this weeks Success Tip. If you think back to last week I brought you a Success Tip on the subject of "Image" and I wasn't too sure how it would be received?!

Well I am delighted to say that within 45 minutes of sending out last weeks Success Tip, I received over 37 emails from people thanking me saying, how much they enjoyed it and how interesting and valuable it was.

At first I was somewhat surprised, however I have now realised that "Image" effects just about every facet of a real estate agent’s life - our health, our happiness, our relationships and most certainly our business or career success.

So in response I've decided to dedicate one more week to the subject of "Image", but this time we are going to take a closure look at colours.

And yes, colours do affect how people see you and in turn the feeling and outcome around every interaction you have. So in my opinion today's Success Tip is essential reading for real estate agents.

Today's Success Tip comes from Chris Rewell.

A respected authority and industry expert, she is known as the 'Colour and Image Consultant' having also trained as a neuro-linguistic practitioner and workplace trainer and assessor.

When it comes to clothes and fashion, is colour really that important and do certain colours have certain meanings?

Yes, colour is important, and yes, colours have meanings. One might say, 'Different clues from different hues'.

Before the 'Iron Curtain' came down, my husband and I spent four weeks travelling in the communist countries. It was an eye-opening experience in many ways. One particular aspect was glaringly obvious, the lack of colour. Everything was a unique shade of black, brown or grey. When we left Eastern Europe and crossed the border back into Western Europe we were struck by the importance of colour.

We realised we lived with colour on a daily basis and had obviously taken it for granted. Suddenly the streetscape was painted with a constant flow of every imaginable hue of colour. Before us was a rainbow of colour and with it a spirit of celebration, individuality, joy and hope. Life without colour is depressing, and knowing what colours mean can change the way you feel.

Let's go through some important colours and their meanings:

* Red - symbolises action and energy, fire and fury, passion and lust, physical strength and speed. This is a powerful and courageous colour. It is an extroverted colour that screams, 'Watch out world!' People who like red love living on the edge and are certainly not quiet achievers.

They like (demand!) autonomy, and are ambitious and goal oriented, and are always well down the track before they have actually started. They can be distracted by the desire to do too much at once and often their mind conceives more directions than are physically possible. Red is an action-oriented colour. Think red sports cars and the Virgin brand.

* Pink - is red with white pigment added. It is a soft, delicate and feminine colour, and is usually the colour of love. Little girls go through pink as part of their socialisation. Care and nurture are both found in the colour pink.

* Purple - is the result of rare and expensive dyes. It has long been the colour of royalty, nobility and the upper echelons of society and the church, all of whom could afford such expensive luxuries. It is also the colour of spirit and mystics.

* Blue - represents calm, steadfastness and reliability. It is often used as a corporate colour, with dark and navy blue projecting power and authority. Blue is the colour of trust and respect. It is also the 'keep your cool' colour as it possesses a relaxed presence and indicates inner peace.

 People who like blue are often charming and sensitive in personality and create an easy and open channel of interaction with others. They possess a quick wit and have an intellectual mind. Blue people are usually all-rounders. They are strong and silent and have a sense of goodness and truth. They don't stress out. Too much blue, however, can slow you down to a point of sluggishness.

* Green - is the colour of balance and stability. It indicates the need for security, respect and recognition. A liking for deeper greens indicates a desire for power and a quest for better.

People who dislike green are often overly analytical and can be highly self-critical so spontaneity is in short supply in their life. What they have in abundance is the desire to control everything in their life (and everyone else's life also). They are tidy, efficient and organised. Green lulls the heartbeat and is usually relaxing.

However, a lime green is about alertness as it contains a high degree of yellow and often shares the same representations. It indicates a healthy and vibrant outlook and is emotionally rejuvenating, sending out the energy of spring and reminding us of the life force.

It is youthful and innovative, indicative of fresh starts and new growth. It can also be perceived as flirty, borders on frivolous, and can be seen as brash and flashy, showing the energy of youth but lacking depth, solidarity, stability and maturity.

* Yellow - is an energy-driven colour that adds zest, cheer and sunshine. It is a stimulating colour that won't fade into the crevasses of your briefcase or handbag. Yellow is a 'Hey! What about me?' colour. It demands attention, not surprising as it is the most highly visible colour.

Choosing yellow indicates that you have a memorable, confident, imaginative personality with high expectations. Such people often look for mental stimulation, and like to explore challenges and change. People who like yellow enjoy self-development and maintain a fun and optimistic nature.

* Beige - carries high social connotations. Classy, classic and dignified, people who like beige don't go berserk when their football team wins. Beige people are reliable, quietly versatile and co-operative but can be obstinate when you push their boundaries.

Not the experimental type, they enjoy a lifestyle which possesses a conscious structure but can teeter on the brink of boring. They possess a quiet sense of purpose and you can depend on them to keep the axis of their world on the correct angle and their timepiece accurate. They are never late.

* Grey - is a safe colour that represents neutrality. People who like grey sit on the fence and prefer a calm passive front. They are co-operative and efficient without being obtrusive. Grey is viewed as refined, dignified and seriously connected to age and wisdom. On the other hand, it can also be a sign of depression and a lack of imagination.
