Where does business come from? That's the question every real estate agent asks but few have a truthful answer for. In an industry constantly selling the "easy button" and overrun with shiny widgets, agents are pulled in multiple directions at once, each promising that if they "just do this," their dreams of success and fortune will come true. After 20 years in the business, thousands of home sales, and hundreds of thousands of coaching calls, Tim and Julie Harris tell the hard truths about what it really takes to make it in real estate. The new, revised edition of Harris Rules outlines specific, actionable, and proven rules of engagement that any agent—rookie or veteran—can count on as they pursue their real-estate funded goals and dreams. Harris Rules lays the groundwork, beginning with how agents need to think about the business. Moving them forward with a step-by-step action plan, Tim and Julie show agents how to create longevity by scaling the business and then teach them how to monetize it. In this book, you'll learn: - How to control your mindset to get more things done, even when you don't "feel" like it - The ideal schedule of a top-producing agent and how to focus it on what matters, profit - Why you can't rely on only one method of generating leads - How to use the proven Seven-Step Listing Process to win the listing virtually every time - How to really achieve financial freedom With all-new case studies, resources, and Q&As for the highly motivated agent, Harris Rules covers tricky topics with much-needed frankness: making a profit, why having a team isn't the "golden calf," gaining multiple lead sources (that you don't have to pay for!), focusing on listings, and the fact that repetitious boredom does pay off. Tim and Julie will tell you the truth: Harris Rules is the savvy agent's all-inclusive, no-BS guide to succeed in real estate.

A gripping new account of one of the most important and exciting periods of British and Irish history: the reign of the first two Stuart kings, from 1567 to the outbreak of civil war in 1642 - and why ultimately all three of their kingdoms were to rise in rebellion against Stuart rule. Both James VI and I and his son Charles I were reforming monarchs, who endeavoured to bolster the authority of the crown and bring the churches in their separate kingdoms into closer harmony with one another. Many of James's initiatives proved controversial - his promotion of the plantation of Ulster, his reintroduction of bishops and ceremonies into the Scottish kirk, and his stormy relationship with his English parliaments over religion and finance - but he just about got by. Charles, despite continuing many of his father's policies in church and state, soon ran into difficulties and provoked all three of his kingdoms to rise in rebellion: first Scotland in 1638, then Ireland in 1641, and finally England in 1642. Was Charles's failure, then, a personal one; was he simply not up to the job? Or was the multiple-kingdom inheritance fundamentally unmanageable, so that it was only a matter of time before things fell apart? Did perhaps the way that James sought to address his problems have the effect of making things more difficult for his son? Tim Harris addresses all these questions and more in this wide-ranging and deeply researched new account, dealing with high politics and low, constitutional and religious conflict, propaganda and public opinion across the three kingdoms - while also paying due attention to the broader European and Atlantic contexts.

The first major study of party conflict in England over the later Stuart period from the reign of Charles II to its culmination under Anne. Tim Harris shows how the party configuration of subsequent British politics emerged in these crucial years. He deals not only with high politics and with the organisation of the new parties, but also with the ideological roots of party strife.

The 'Glorious Revolution' of 1688 was a massive, brutal and terrifying event, which completely changed the governments of England, Scotland and Ireland and which was only achieved through overwhelming violence. This book tells that this was a turning point in Britain's history, and also shows how severe a price was paid to achieve this.

The late seventeenth century was a period of extraordinary turbulence and political violence in Britain, the like of which has never been seen since. Beginning with the Restoration of the monarchy after the Civil War, this book traces the fate of the monarchy from Charles II's triumphant accession in 1660 to the growing discontent of the 1680s. Harris looks beyond the popular image of Restoration England revelling in its freedom from the austerity of Puritan rule under a merry monarch and reconstructs the human tragedy of Restoration politics where people were brutalised, hounded and exploited by a regime that was desperately insecure after two decade of civil war and republican rule.
