Are you taking time to develop your mind? The world is changing so fast around and one of the ways to keep up with this change is to have a sharp mind. There are various faculties of our mind we can develop such as our: intuition, will, memory, perception, imagination and reason.
What have you done lately to work on any of these? Your mind is a powerful tool and I spend time daily exercising my mind.
Here are some of the things I do to help strengthen my mind:

personal development: Personal Development - One Way to Make 2009 Successful - 11/21/08 05:45 PM
Last year about this time I did not have much going on Real Estate wise. I had a solid year but the end of the year was poor in sales and activity. Because of this I decided to get serious about PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.
Learning, growing and developing on my own time was something I was willing to do; in fact is was something I was excited to do! The more I read and listen to audio programs the more I found that most of the TEACHERS of the material had overcome some adversity and now had gone on to being a … (0 comments)

personal development: Is anyone using www.biz-vids.com - 08/03/08 08:39 PM
Being the master learner I am I got a call about 10 days ago from someone at www.biz-vids.com and after listening to them I decided to give it a try. I got a Brian Buffini video about Building Your Business On Referrals. They have numerous other selections.
I thought I would see if anyone else is using this website/service? If you would like to use it when you sign up if you could mention I sent you there (I think I get a couple months free if that happens).
Again, let me know if you are using this or if you think … (10 comments)

personal development: Exploding Through Barriers - Revisited - 07/30/08 03:27 PM
Right now I am noticing a lot of people who are pretty stuck. Perhaps it's a Realtor who just cannot seem to get a transaction to come together. Many times its potential seller who is behind on their home payment and does not know what to do. Other times it's simply people that are not happy with certain areas of their life. Many people are facing barriers that seem insurmountable.
I happen to believe what Jesus said, "All things are possible for he who believes."
Here is another part of the daily declaration I say:
"I am exploding through barriers that … (0 comments)

personal development: Choose to Win Daily! - 07/28/08 01:12 PM
A lot of people like to make excuses. Often we make excuses and don't even know it. For example if you are blaming the market or the economy for your poor sales performance - THAT IS AN EXCUSE!
We make the choice whether to have a productive day or not. It's all up to you. I am not immune to times of pointing my fingers at something other than me. Thus I have learned that I need a reminder that I have a choice to do what I need to do.
Here is another part of the daily declaration that … (7 comments)

personal development: Constant Learning Builds Mindset - 07/20/08 09:43 PM
Today is another day that I took time to learn and grow. I am a constant learner. I am always feeding my mind. I feed my mind as much as I feed my stomach. I was thinking I needed to post something about the great value and confidence I get from being a constant learner. Then as I was taking a course on Success University I found the perfect summary to what I was going to say so here it is:

If your belief is that you CANNOT make $10,000 per month, then you can't. If your belief is that … (7 comments)

personal development: You Need To Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone! - 07/16/08 08:10 PM
I understand the need to feel safe and comfortable. However, in order to become unstoppable you need to get out of the "comfort zone" and into the "faith zone."
I love this part of the break through declaration that I say daily that's why I am going over it for the third time:
"Like a rocket ship that seems to almost shake to pieces before it breaks through the earths atmosphere. I will never go backward toward comfort and safety but rather forward toward uncertainty, discomfort, and growth. I will persistently pursue my passion in spite of any pain. I know … (1 comments)

personal development: Blast Into Your Unstoppable Future! - 07/14/08 03:28 PM
Probably one of the biggest reason people don't actually move into the "unstoppable zone" is because they give up too early. The reason people give up is often there is a lot of preparation and resistance before the break through occurs. Most people don't have the patience - they want IT now.
Here is another part of the declaration I say daily:
"Like a rocket ship that seems to almost shake to pieces before it breaks through the earths atmosphere. I will never go backward toward comfort and safety but rather forward toward uncertainty, discomfort, and growth. I will persistently pursue … (0 comments)

I wanted to start the day and week with some positive material. I got up early today to workout, meditate and blog! So I thought what better way to share then to give you some positive quotes. I am going through a Jim Rohn's training book and here are some great quotes all by Jim Rohn:
"The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch."
"If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they may have planned for you? Not much."

personal development: Automobile University - 06/08/08 06:32 PM
For the past couple of years I have turned my car into AUTOMOBILE UNIVERSITY. What I mean by that is instead of listening to talk radio (someone elses agenda), I often listen to cd's on personal, spiritual and professional development.
I spend more time in my car then a lot of people. Probably 1.5 hours a day or more. This weekend I had 2 hours each day in my car. What I did was listen to a couple affirmation cds (I also spoke the words with them) and I listened to a Zig Ziglar cd.
Its amazing how much I have … (5 comments)

personal development: What Makes a Great Real Estate Agent! Are You Self Motivated? - 05/04/08 09:26 AM
In this market a great Real Estate agent has to be self motivated! Right now you can't sit around hoping that buyers and sellers will come to you! This is a time where you have to diligently spend time networking and prospecting, This is a time where you have to be on top of all the things that happen during the sales process!
What makes someone self motivated?
1. Definiteness of purpose - This is knowing what and why you are doing what you are doing. I would suggest its got to be more than just collecting a check once and a … (6 comments)

personal development: Winners Never Give Up - 04/27/08 01:34 AM
Perseverance
Winners never give up!
This is another lesson from Success University course ...The Soul of Winning ....I post it because I know a lot of people are giving up right now. Someone out there is giving up there Real Estate Career. Someone else is giving up on their marriage. Perhaps someone is giving up on a dream that they once had. Nothing worthwhile is easy. If you believe in your heart for something, ask God for guidance and persist through the storm because you will make it to the other side. I am not saying that everything you must persist through, but … (10 comments)
