David Norris
(www.364-sold.com) David Norris has been selling Real Estate since 1981, and has developed a team that currently sells a house every 34 hours, but that's not his real passion. David's true potential is realized when someone walks up to him in a crowd and says "Dave: I read your quote and commentary in yesterday's paper and I was moved. I read it to my whole family and stuck it on my fridge, where it will stay. Thank you!" David believes wholeheartedly in the Power of Good (with a capitol "G") which is the title of his next book due by late Spring 2009. David says that the Universe works full time to repay those that "give back" in various ways and that their future is totally secure. "Dave" is a 100% believer that a person is indeed the exact replica of his/her internal thoughts in every area of his/her life: From relationships to finances, and that you can and even DO NOW have everything in life that you "really" want. Dave specializes his talks in the areas of personal development from the inside - out. His direct cell phone is (709)-687-4700. |
