master certified coach: Takin' It Easy! - 07/03/08 11:59 PM
As the Eagles say.....
"Standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona, such a fine sight to see."
 
 
We spent 3 days in Winslow at The La Posada Hotel in the Harry Truman Room. The La Posada is an absolute gem. Built in 1930 as part of the Fred Harvey railroad hotels, it has been lovingly restored by Allan Affeldt. The Turquoise Room Restuarant was deemed one of the 10 best restuarants in the state by Arizona Highways magazine in May 2008.
It's on the old Route 66 and is a not to be missed stop across northern Arizona. There's not a lot … (9 comments)

master certified coach: What Are YOU Thinking? - 04/29/08 09:33 AM
 "All conditions and all circumstances in our lives are the result of a certain level of thinking. When you want to change the conditions and the circumstances, we have to change the level of thinking that is responsible for it." Albert Einstein
Your thought is the most powerful tool you have for your success. That is good news. Creating your ideal life is not about having to struggle really,really hard to do more stuff to make something happen. It is about RELAXING and finding your own way that is a natural self-expression of your values and what lights you up. When you have … (8 comments)

master certified coach: What the heck is Twitter????? - 03/26/08 07:04 AM
 
Twitter is a micro-blogging platform that limits posts to 140 characters, but allows for replies and direct messages. Each post is an answer to the question "What are you doing?"
I don't know about you, but reading that definition leaves me asking, "So what?" It sounds almost like the stupidest idea ever. But actually using it, diving into it, working with it makes you realize that no explanation could really describe what it's like to use Twitter. Doesn't even come close! Just like blogging, once you participate, you get bitten by the bug!
In an article in FAST COMPANY, Robert Scoble says "Twitter … (5 comments)

And since I turn 60 on Friday...I plan to follow the preaching's of that wise Mother!I don't know about you, but this aging thing has been quite interesting.

master certified coach: Are You Having A Bad Day? How Bad is it? - 03/04/08 01:28 AM
The real estate business may not be easy or the way you want it to be, but, as my husband said the other day, "At least they aren't shooting at us!"
I came across a link to a video of Carnegie Mellon professor, Randy Pausch on my Arizona Real Estate Educator's listserv. Not the place I would have expected to find this kind of inspiration, but I thought you'd find value too.
Randy was given 6 months to live. This is his "Last Lecture" to his students at Carnegie Mellon.
I checked him out further and found his home page here 
Perhaps, thinking about your bad day … (5 comments)

master certified coach: Get Off The Hamster Wheel-Start Using The Law of Attraction - 02/27/08 09:32 AM
Are you calm and peaceful, serene and satisfied? My byline is "Relaxed Real Estate for Magnificent Agents" and my vision is that each person I touch gain some value from me that leaves them creating extraordinary satisfaction in living a life they love. Of course, I can't make you or any of my clients calm, peaceful, serene or extraordinarily productive, it is ultimately up to you. The good news is that we always have the power to change what we are getting, if we don't like it!
I recently read The Astonishing Power Of Emotions by Esther and Jerry Hicks. In reading this … (6 comments)

master certified coach: A Vision Board for 2008 - 01/08/08 01:35 PM
 
 I came across this as I was planning for my 3 Day REINVENTION Business Planning Retreat. Each participant is going to get one! It's called a Vision Board.
In my workshops, I have always found the creation of what I had called a Destiny Display, a poster with pictures of what the person wants to achieve in the coming year, is a kind of magic. Even people who think it is a silly exercise come around when they see the results they create. The Law of Attraction works powerfully when you keep your intentions in front of you.So, when I saw this, I … (2 comments)

master certified coach: Who Are You Networked To? - 12/29/07 01:14 AM
Ah, the advantages of Web 2.0 and Social Networking!!!
I sent a message out this week to others on LinkedIn that were members, in my address book, but we hadn't linked up yet! There were over 300 of these people. It has been a blast! I am reconnecting with many people I haven't be in communication with it quite a while. They are sending me notes or asking where I know them from or just joining my network.
The funniest was an invitation from someone named Louis P to join his network. I haven't been accepting all invitations. I ususally make sure I … (10 comments)

master certified coach: Five Wishes - 12/17/07 12:20 AM
I've just finished reading Five Wishes by Gay Hendricks.
It's a little gem of a book that you should buy first for yourself and then maybe for some of the people on your Christmas list! (the people coming to my 3 day Business Planning Retreat REINVENTION in Hawaii next month will be getting one free!)
He makes it simple to take a look at your life and know what is and what isn't important. If you are doing your business planning for the year and are a litle weak in the vision part, this book could give you some insight.
For me, The … (9 comments)

master certified coach: Get It Organized! - 12/16/07 11:31 PM
One of the best little tools I know to do this with is "C . . . I AM ORGANIZED" tech organizer system from my friend Carolyne! I've loved this system, because when something goes awry, I KNOW where to find eveything to get on it. She has allowed me to extend a Christmas, Holiday, and New Year special offer to all my AR friends and colleagues:
It's that time of year AGAIN. Time to get organized for '08. Write it off your taxes this year. Hundreds of folks have the old original binder system (yep! and I gladly paid $97 for it!), and … (2 comments)

   COMPARISONS:

 KEY POINT: When you evaluate whether something is an opportunity or a distraction, you must know how it fits with … (4 comments)

master certified coach: Easy Does It! - 12/15/07 12:19 PM
 " All things are difficult before they are easy." Thomas Fuller
You've heard that the way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time!(although, come on now.....WHY would you want to do that?)
 Seriously, though, to accomplish BIG dreams, we need to break them down to achievable, easy actions over time. Have you put off doing something because you don't know quite where to start or because the task looks so big you don't have the chunk of time you know it will require?Perhaps you still have some software sitting in a box with cellophane because you don't have time to learn the time saving technology?If … (5 comments)

master certified coach: A DISTINCTION: Intuition vs. Feelings - 12/15/07 12:09 PM
    DEFINITIONS:
Intuition: The inner voice that guides youFeelings: The emotional cues you get, often triggered by fear
   COMPARISONS:
Heart vs. Head Integrity vs. InstinctEXAMPLE: When Joan listened to her intuition, she followed an inner voice that always was tied in with what was best for her. She found when she had a dilemma there was always an answer in her heart of what she should do. Tim let his feelings of not wanting to be rejected and not feeling confident persuade him to procrastinate and not take consistent action when it was time to prospect.KEY POINT: Intuition is a feeling, but … (0 comments)

At least that's what an email said from TWITTER a few minutes ago
OMG  Makes me feel pressure to say something interesting! Or engaging! Or brilliant! Or at least creative! And I haven't really even figured out how this TWITTER.com thing works. I mean this is useful for what purpose.
