mindset: 10 Tips for Real Estate Success in a Challenging Market & Down Economy - 01/13/09 12:20 AM
I first wrote and posted the following article on my Real Estate Coach Blog in November 2007.   I have updated the intro paragraph with my thoughts on the current real estate market in Las Vegas.  The 10 Tips to THRIVE are timeless however and easily adapted for any business owner and most likely any real estate market around the country.
Our current real estate market in Las Vegas (and around the country) continues to present an interesting test for all involved… from the buyers, to the sellers to the practicing real estate agents and also for the brokerage firms.  I’ve been … (2 comments)

mindset: 5 Agreements that Can Positively Change Your Life - 01/10/09 03:39 PM
Here are 5 Agreements that if you truly comprehend, accept and live by can dramatically change your life!  The agreements are taken form 2 outstanding and highly recommended books:
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz 
The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
1.    BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD. Speak with integrity.  Say only what you mean.  Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others.  Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
2.    DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY.  Nothing others do is because of you.  What others say and do is … (1 comments)

mindset: Getting Things Done - A Must Read/Listen - 12/10/07 07:07 PM
I recently re-read and listened to the audio book by David Allen Getting Things Done - The Art of Stress-Free Productivity.  The difference this time - I was ready to put the techniques to use and have discovered a system that works for me.   The major aha for me was realizing my "to do" list is not enough.  The key step I was missing was taking the time to think about and record the "next action" to take in order to move a project forward to my desired outcome.
The basic premise of the book is to get everything out of your … (4 comments)

mindset: How To THRIVE in the Current Real Estate Market - 11/10/07 04:28 PM
Our current real estate market in Las Vegas (and around the country) presents an interesting test for all involved... from the buyers, to the sellers to the practicing real estate agents and also for the brokerage firms  I've been living and working in Las Vegas since 1992 and this is my first experience in a "challenging market".   Fueled by local and national media with a slant to reporting the negative, "newsworthy" hype of doom and gloom, buyers are afraid to purchase, waiting for the  elusive "bottom of the market" before jumping back in.  Sellers are holding on to every ounce of … (27 comments)

mindset: Think and Grow Rich - The Original Version Restored and Revised - 06/29/07 03:46 PM
I recently received an email from Ross Cornwell who is the editor of  "Think and Grow Rich!" (subtitled) "The Original Version, Restored and Revised".  Ross came across my post on The Power of Affirmations where I had referred and linked to an earlier edition of this classic book.
This book is truly THE classic self-help, inspirational, and success book of all time.  If you are going to read only one book on this subject - make it Think And Grow Rich.  Napoleon Hill's classic started it all and has influenced just about every author and book written on the subject since then.  … (5 comments)

mindset: The Power of Affirmations - 06/21/07 01:00 AM
I was talking to a friend yesterday about the power of affirmations.  She shared one of hers with me:  "Make decisions where you are going instead of where you are."
It reminded me of my NLP Coach training.  One of the many things my trainers, Tad & Adriana James, discussed was how so many people focus on what they don't want rather that what they really want.  They also introduced this powerful equation: C > E and this key question - "What side of the equation are you on...CAUSE or EFFECT? 
Do you take 100% responsibility for your actions, your life, where … (5 comments)

mindset: 5 Principles of Success - 06/15/07 12:10 PM
I'd like to share a tool I use when coaching real estate and business professionals - the 5 principles of success.  It's adapted from my NLP coach training and have found it is very effective in a variety of ways - goal setting, business planning, coaching & managing team members. 
1.  Know Your Desired Outcome.  Have a Plan.  A Written Business Plan with clearly defined, vibrant goals.  Make your goals S.M.A.R.T.
S    Specific; SimpleM    Measurable; Meaningful to YouA    As if Now; Achievable; All areas of your lifeR    Realistic; Responsible/EcologicalT    Timeframe; Toward What You Want
