golf: Is Your Swing Smooth? (Or Are You Hooking and Slicing Your Way to Real Estate Hell) - 02/20/11 04:56 AM
If you’ve been with me for a while, you know I'm a golfer – I love the game, and work at improving every time I play.
One thing I've learned is that there's a rhythm to it, just like dancing (which I also love!). And when your swing is smooth, you have a better chance of hitting the ball cleanly, and having it go where you want it to.
But if you start your swing and then hesitate – well, you might hook it, or slice it, or even top the ball and watch it dribble just a few … (10 comments)

golf: Playing The Game Like Tiger - 03/10/09 02:01 PM
Would you like to play your real estate game like Tiger Woods plays golf? Ask most real estate agents that and the answer you'll get is, "Of course!" But really, we can all play like Tiger, even if we don't win like he does.
If you're like me, it could take you three (or in many cases MORE!) shots to get down the fairway and onto the green. Not every shot goes where I want it to go, yet I keep swinging away, not always shaking off the bad shots or refocusing, and hitting again to get closer to my goal. Not … (6 comments)

golf: Get Back in the Game - 02/04/09 04:32 AM
 

It's about this time each year that some people start slipping away from the goals they made. The focus has become fuzzy, and other things have come along to distract them from visualizing their goals clearly. The gym where they signed up and vowed to go work out five days a week? Well, they've been busy, the weather's been bad, and they haven't been there in a while. The Realtor who was going to devote a portion of every day to prospecting? Well, life's been crazy lately and it hasn't worked out that way, but really, they plan to … (1 comments)

golf: It's Just a Game - 01/16/09 01:39 AM
 
That's what I say to myself and others – it's just a game. These days there are two games in my life, and I'm learning from – and with – both of them.
It started with 2009. First, I reminded myself that 2008 is over, done, gone, move on, don't drag it into the new year. We have a fresh opportunity with 2009 to make of it what we want. I keep remembering Henry Ford's famous quote:  "If you think you can do a thing, or think you can't do a thing, you're right."
So when I pick up a … (1 comments)

golf: Get out there and fail! - 07/16/08 08:21 AM
 
Get out there and fail!                                                                  
 
Simple yet not easy.
 
For those of you who don't know me personally, I am a professional success coach coaching real estate agents and people in sales for the past 15 years and my true passion and hobby is professional level International Latin Ballroom Dancing since forever.  I absolutely love it! Most recently, the years of rotating the hip joints have slowed me down.  Slowing down is not in my vocabulary so I went on a quest to find another sport I could get passionate about, that would take me well into … (0 comments)
