Via Maya Bailey (Maya Bailey, Ph.D. ):

Is Your Mindset Working For You?

In today’s changing market where the predominant energy is fear, your challenge is to be extremely vigilant about what you focus on. Why is your deliberate focus more important now than ever?

What are you giving attention to? If you’re giving attention to what you don’t want, such as lack, that is what you’ll be getting. It may also show up for you as attracting unmotivated, indecisive, and uncommitted clients. However, change your mindset and you’ll be attracting your ideal clients – clients that are appreciative of your services.

The Panic Problem

In my 12+ years of empowering real estate agents to reach their goals, I’ve coached many clients who were subconsciously attracting unwanted outcomes. They came to me feeling panicked and worried about market conditions and slowing sales.

They were diligently working to get their listings sold. But their tried-and-true marketing activities were no longer working. What was the problem? Their focus had shifted with their fearful state of mind.

Are you, as they were, preoccupied with things like:

• How tough the market is

• How there are too many houses for too few buyers

• How unlikely it is for your listing to sell

If you are, you will be creating the very thing you don’t want, which is that your listing won’t sell.

So what do you do?

The Power Solution

Sustaining a positive, high energy mindset is key to attracting your desired outcomes. Because it directly impacts your thoughts, beliefs and feelings, you need to work on your mindset daily to ensure that is working in your favor.

What are you doing for your mind? And did you know that you can create a feng shui for your mind to get your listed houses to sell?

Just as a house is more likely to sell when the energy has been positively enhanced with feng shui, your mind is more likely to create a positive outcome when you have been practicing the Law of Attraction. This powerful tool gives you a step-by-step procedure to become magnetic for abundance, sales, prosperity, and so forth.

Ready to go from panic to power? Here are 5 tips for using the Law of Attraction to help you do just that.

Tip 1: Create a Clear Focus.

Too often I hear my clients say, “I want my listings to sell” without being clear on what their desired sales scenario looks like.

I suggest visualizing your ideal sale. See yourself placing the SOLD sign and declare the number of days the home has been on the market. Ask yourself how the purchase price compares to the asking price. What is your income?

You get the idea. Be clear, detailed, and specific about what you want. Once you are, then choose to focus on only that. Channel your energy with the intention of attracting what you want.

Tip 2: Create Harmony Between Your Energy and Your Desires.

Feel what it feels like to already have what you want. When you do, the energy vibrations you send out into the universe match what you desire, attracting it back to you.

To create that matching energy, visualize in an “as if” mode. In other words, use the power of your imagination to feel “as if” your listings have already sold as quickly, easily, and profitably as you wanted.

What positive feelings are you experiencing? Most agents who do this activity say that they feel confident, satisfied, elated, exhilarated, just plain good, etc.

Whatever your unique feelings, know that the more you experience them, the more you magnetize the events leading up to these feelings to fall into your lap. So practice this “as if” mode every day.

“My current house sells and I feel elated, happy, and ecstatic. I have two transactions that close in the coming month and I feel accomplished, successful, and prosperous.”

Tip 3: Clear Your Mental Clutter.

Your energy needs to flow freely without encountering harmful obstructions so that the Law of Attraction will work for you. So clear away all self limiting beliefs. How? You’ll need to do a little soul searching, usually with the help of a professional coach specializing in this area, to uncover your subconscious opposing beliefs. They are our blind spots. They are below the surface of our awareness.

After you have identified these self limiting beliefs, reprogram them to become Empowering Beliefs that are in alignment with what you want. Here is an example of one of the self limiting beliefs that I often hear from my clients, followed by what it sounds like after I helped them reprogram it into an Empowering Belief:

Self limiting belief: “I don’t have what it takes to get my listings sold in a market as tough as this one” Empowering belief: “I have everything I need to succeed at getting my listings sold in any market”

Now, just how important is it to clear your mental clutter through this transformation of beliefs?

Think about it this way. You wouldn’t risk sabotaging a sale by inviting clients to view a home that was cluttered with boxes or furniture that block freedom of movement. Yet you are probably trying to invite business into a mind that is cluttered with self-limiting beliefs that constrict the flow of energy into your business and block you from getting the very business that you want.

Tip 4: Take Inspired Action and Allow It to Come to You.

Replace action based on fear with action based on intuition. There’s a very good reason for this. When you follow your inspired thoughts with inspired action – steps you are motivated to do by your inner nudgings or hunches – you feel good, energized and joyful. These feelings positively raise your energy vibrations and you become even more magnetic for what you want.

Here’s a tip: Find a way to quiet your mind so that you can listen to your inner nudgings. Chances are you’ve already experienced what intuition feels like, and you probably have acted on that intuition. That’s an example of inspired action. Begin to appreciate all of your thoughts and feelings so that you are more aware when you do get a hunch. Then act on it. What is your intuition telling you to do?

Tip 5: Follow the Formula.

Properly practice the Law of Attraction to get the results you want. Similar to feng shui, practicing the Law of Attraction requires understanding and consistent implementation on a day-to-day basis.

If you find this challenging to do on your own, know that you are in the good company of many others. Most of my clients find it much easier and more effective to have the ongoing guidance, support, and encouragement that a professional business coach can offer.

Whether going solo or with a coach, the bottom line is that you want to make sure you are correctly following the step-by-step process for the Law of Attraction.Why? Because with the Law of Attraction, “like attracts like” whether wanted or unwanted. To successfully become the deliberate creator of your sales success, become a master of the Law of Attraction.

As a review: Remember to work on your mindset every day to ensure that positive energy flows to make good things happen. Take care not to let external conditions control your mindset. Keep a positive, success mindset and expand the flow of energy into your business. The future of your business depends on your prosperity mindset, not the outer conditions, which are constantly changing.

 

 

Via Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman HAWAII Relocations & Real Estate (Century 21 Liberty Homes):

Watching the National News tonight there were ongoing stories about Michael Jackson. What will happen to the children? A Music Legacy! The Dancing Moves! And then the heart wrenching realization that this talented individual was not really happy.

Some people misinterpret what success is all about. 

Quincy Jones spoke of his professional and personal interactions with Michael Jackson and the most profound part of the interview (to me) was not about the dance moves, the singing, the children and beyond. He spoke about the resistance to success, not being able to handle that success due to not having a serious and grounded approach towards life.

Quincy goes on to say:

You have to be spiritually grounded and you are really a terminal for a higher power,

And if you don't understand that, you know, it can be very complicated.

And.....I've seen a lot of people misinterpret what success is all about.

POWERFUL WORDS and an insight into the true meaning of handling success and being successful. I have written many a story on success starts from the inside out. It seems pretty straighforward to me...now.

I know what it means to have a serious and grounded approach towards life and the meaning of being a terminal for a higher power. I can feel it and it shines from the inside of me to the outside. That success can't be bought and it can only be fulfilled by ......ME.

What is all the outside of me stuff worth...if I feel not me?

 

 

 

Today, while browsing the Internet, I ran across someones web blog on Notary.net.  This person had referenced my name and a link to one of my previous blogs.  My first reaction was Wow! I didn't know anyone was even reading these!  Then, I went on to read the comments after the article and noticed that other Notaries had gotten into what I would call a 'creative discussion' regarding my blog about the profitability of signing company pay versus being paid direct from the title company. 

One of the Notaries claimed that I was no longer in business.  This is far from the truth, I never stopped working. I only stopped with Marketing because I have enough business now.  Another Notary corrected the person and said that I was still in business because I recently updated my Notary.Net site.

I realize it has been a while since I have posted anything on my ActiveRain page or any of my Notary sites and decided to update immediately so that there is no question of whether or not I am in business!  LDH Services is still in existence and I am still working in the North Houston Area.

Work smarter, not harder.  We all want to get paid the most money possible for our time.  Just like all of the Notaries out there, we hate it! Hate It! Hate it! When a signing company gets half of the fees while you do ALL of the work. 

BOTTOM LINE:  If you accept an assignment from a Signing Service that is close to home and has a low number of pages, you aren't necessarily making a mistake; you are actually getting paid at a higher hourly rate!  Not to mention the quantity of these signings is higher since they have access / contracts with the large banking institutions like WAMU, Wells Fargo and Chase.

Don't get me wrong, in a perfect world I would get the full fees for Job #1 which would be significantly more.

reverse mortgageReverse Mortgage vs. Home Equity Loan

 

Seniors over 62 who qualify for a Reverse Mortgage find that a Reverse Mortgage is good alternative to their other options: 1. Moving to a lower priced home 2. Seeking property tax credit or abatement or 3. Obtaining a Home Equity Loan. 

Reverse Mortgage vs. Home Equity Loan

One benefit of applying for a Reverse Mortgage is that there are no income requirements, it pays you and you no longer have a mortgage payment.  In order to qualify for a Home Equity loan, you would need sufficient debt to income ratio and you will still be responsible for your monthly mortgage payments.  With the Home Equity loan, seniors are still at risk for high home equity rates.

To qualify for a HUD Reverse Mortgage, you need to be 62 years old, own your home outright or have a low mortgage balance and you must continue to live in the home.

If you are a senior shopping for a Reverse Mortgage, I would suggest going to the Federal Trade Commission website, http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/homes/rea13.shtm  the FTC has worksheets online that can help you compare mortgages and lenders.

If you are a senior and you meet the requirements, you can call 1-800-569-4287 to get a list of FHA Approved Lenders from the FTC.

Neglect of the elderly and people with disabilities wears many faces. So do the forces that help. Sometimes a caring neighbor sees the need and tries to fill it. Or a loving family member attempts to make a positive impact. Unfortunately, an increasing number of vulnerable adults go unnoticed. They may be in pain, lacking strength, confused, without power...alone. If you know an elderly person who is being mistreated, neglected, or harmed in any way, call Adult Protective Services at 1-800-252-5400 day or night.

 
Good News for Reverse Mortgages:
  • The National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association predicts that Borrowers are expected to take out 120,000 of the most popular kind of reverse mortgage this year, a 57 increase from last year.

 

  • According to  Bob Moos  of The Dallas Morning News; AARP, the National Council on Aging, federal agencies and other groups have launched campaigns to help seniors understand how they can tap their home equity to pay for long-term care and other retirement expenses.

 

  • The response to the reverse mortgage program has grown dramatically with lenders and brokers as rising interest rates have dampened conventional home loan originations and refinance activity.

This is a great show for Real Estate Professionals who are dealing with the process of working with First time homeowners. 

There's nothing more exciting and scary than owning your first home.  As a first time homeowner, there is so much to know.  There is a great show on TLC that documents the process that first time homeowners go through called: My First Home (http://tlc.discovery.com/guides/property/my-first-home/my-first-home.html).

WHAT SORT OF LOAN AM I GETTING?!?! 

Before you close you will get a stack of papers ten reams high and you will be signing and initialing every last one of them. Make sure you know what you are signing - is the interest rate the attractive one you were quoted when they were begging for your business? Do you have a pre-payment penalty? When is your first payment due and where do you send it? All important questions to ask and have answers to before you seal the deal.
