Love is the Greatest Secret of Success

February 8, 2012 By Leave a Comment

by Floyd Wickman With Valentine’s Day fast approaching I got to thinking about that old song that goes, “What the world needs now is love sweet love…”  Has that ever been truer? In Og Mandino’s book The Greatest Salesman in the World, the scroll marked V states ‘love is the greatest secret of success in all mankind.’  It goes on to say ‘only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of men and women.’  Wouldn’t you agree the world could certainly use a few more open hearts? In the bible, Saint Paul says to the Corinthians, “If I

Floyd Wickman’s Economic Recovery Plan

January 10, 2012 By Leave a Comment

The Floyd Wickman Recovery Plan may very well have the biggest impact on the real estate community—and our country—than anything I’ve ever done because it’s designed to jump start the U.S. economy with a $6.6 billion jolt and change the lives of thousands of real estate professionals. I know my plan sounds ambitious, and I don’t think any of us have been involved with anything with the word billions attached to it, but I just may be onto something really, really big. Now, I know there’s going to be some soothsayers out there who think I’m crazy and wondering, “Who
