Keller Williams MCA Blog

I know what fans we are of Maxwell and his laws. I don’t remember this one on his list. Might be helpful to the MCAs as they get dumped on by the agents and TLs during these tough times.  “The Law of the Garbage Truck”

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.

My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches!

The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.

So I asked, “Why did you just do that? That guy almost ruined your car AND sent us to the hospital!”

That is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, “The Law of the Garbage Truck.”

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.

As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on you. Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.

Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.

All associates are to pay their Market Center bill by the end of each month resulting in a $0 (or credit) balance.  A $0 (or credit) balance occurs only when all AR has been paid in full.  The MC may not force a $0 AR balance through accounting adjustments.  The MC will establish policies on late office bills and late fees which could result in the returning of a real estate license back to the State Commission.  The MC will send demand letters via certified mail, “return receipt requested”, to all associates with invoices 90 days or more past due.  If still unpaid, the MC will write off invoices as Bad Debit Expense.

Accounts Receivable between Market Centers are not allowed.  These entries are in the form of loans documented with a signed note (including terms for interest) OR paid in full by the end of the month.
