Today's quote of the day; Brian Tracy

Sun, 24 May 2009 14:42:14 -0500

Today's quote comes from Brian Tracy. If you have the chance to attend a seminar, I would recommend you do. I was able to attend one of his sales strategy meetings about 2 years ago in Boston Mass. and took a lot of great education home with me.

One of the items I picked up at the seminar was a book pf quotes. This quote comes from that book.

Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Brian Tracy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm not too much of a philosophical person, but I do feel however that how well you feel effects how well you do business. I try and keep an even state of mind and keep my emotions in check through tough times.

Powering a University by landfill gas; UNH, Durham New Hampshire

Mon, 18 May 2009 13:25:36 -0500

The University of New Hampshire located in Durham New Hampshirehas announced today that the four year project of generating heat and electricity by burning methane gas provided by a Turnkey landfill in Rochester New Hampshirehas been completed! The methane travels 12.7 miles underground from a processing plant at the Turnkey Landfill in Rochester to the campus. It ends up inside UNH's co-generation plant, replacing natural gas.The landfill could continue to produce methane for up to 20 to 30 years after it has closed.

Just another reason why I love living in the beautiful state of New Hampshire. We all do are part to keep this beautiful state the way it is.

Sunday's motivational quote; Lou Holtz

Sun, 17 May 2009 10:28:21 -0500

A great motivator, Lou Holtz was often able to move his teams past fear, scrutiny, and tough times. Today's motivational quote is from coach Holtz. I think now, no matter your profession, your career, or where you are at this point in your life, you, like me could use a motivational quote.

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
- Lou Holtz

My thoughts, take your abilities, motivate yourself to do them, and have the best attitude while doing it. Not so easy for most of us in the real estate profession these days. But with a positive attitude, we will survive.

Have a great Sunday and go out there and "SELL IT" !

Quote of the day; A great one to think about everyday

Mon, 11 May 2009 11:31:43 -0500

Today, while calling an associate, his voice-mail picked up. It seems every time I call I get his voice-mail, not a big deal. Today was no different, except for one thing. I took the time to really listen to his quote of the day. A quote that I think can help all of us, no matter what profession you are in, real estate related or not.

This quote today came from Lucille Ball. I really enjoyed it and thought you might also.

" One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself. "

I hope you enjoyed, and you all are encouraged by today's quote. Enjoy the day, it's warm and sunny in New Hampshire today!

Happy Mothers Day

Sun, 10 May 2009 06:31:42 -0500

Happy Mothers day to all of the mothers out there today. I hope that you take the time to enjoy the day and are able to spend it with the ones you love!

Today, in my family we will try to carry on a tradition that has been with us for the past 3 years. Every year, on or around mothers day, we travel to Dover NH to Wentworth Greenhouses and pick out all of the flowers for the flower beds at the front of our house. It's kind of nice for my wife, my son and I to go there, spend part of the afternoon letting my wife choose the flowers she wants. This traditionally is our present to her for Mother's day.

Afterward I'm going to get ahold of my Mom and bring her her card, and of course her favorite, Chocolate covered cherries!

The "buzz" of spring in Dover New Hampshire

Sat, 02 May 2009 12:33:13 -0500

This photo was taken today 5/2/09 in Dover New Hampshire. While taking new photos of my listing 600 Sixth Street, Dover New Hampshire,I was out in front of the home, taking exterior photos, I heard a large "buzz" coming from the front of the home. I knew it had to be one of two things. Either it was several humming birds, or it was several bees pollinating. It happened to be the bees pollinating a large rhododendron bush in the front of the house. I knew I was safe getting close to the bush because the bees were too busy pollinating.

If you look real close, you can see one of the many bees that surrounded the bush. It was pretty neat to see, so I figured while I was there I would take the picture and share with you!
