goals: Building a Website 101...What I've Learned... - 02/02/08 02:08 PM
One of my more recent posts was bragging about the site I have just finished building www.LiveGoodBeHappy.com .  This was a journey YEARS in the making.  I had been 'conceptualizing' about it for a very long time.  My vision was that I wanted my site to be UNIQUE. I wanted it to be FRIENDLY.  I wanted the site to exude Live good. Be happy....a FRESH approach to real estate.  I wanted it to be, relatively, hand's-off when it was finished.  I wanted it to be a RESOURCE for clients.  I wanted it to be a GIFT to those people who came to visit.  … (11 comments)

goals: Live good. Be happy. Online.... - 01/28/08 04:54 PM
    Hey everyone!  It has been a while since I have contributed to Active Rain, and I have missed you guys!  Did you miss me???
What have I been up to you ask? 
I dismantled my old Livegoodbehappy.com website about a month ago to do a re-build and have been working on it since. 
So, the big news is that I have been developing the most ROCKIN' AWESOME Real Estate website known to mankind for the last month!!  Yep, I feel that good about it! And, yep, I did it myself, and NOPE, sorry, I do not have the time to build you one. :)  … (16 comments)

goals: Live good. Be happy. Be AUTHENTIC. Be DIFFERENT. Be YOU! - 01/06/08 01:29 PM

I was recently Meme'd.  And while sharing some very-off-subject-from-Real-Estate-things about me with the folks on Active Rain was an exercise in, well, exorcism of my past follies, I recognized something VERY IMPORTANT ABOUT REAL ESTATE MARKETING (for that matter...ALL marketing) that I think is worth sharing.
I am convinced that we are meant to bring ALL OF THE funny, weird, silly, tragic, educational, insightful, things that make up WHO WE ARE to our careers, our families, and our friendships. 
I truly believe that when we bring our WHOLE SELVES to whomever we come in contact with...the experiences of the past then get the opportunity to do what they … (18 comments)

goals: Debt is a thief... - 12/28/07 07:58 PM
Oh, don't the happy 20-somethings (buried in debt) look blissful?In my quest to become the capitalist sensai to my 23 year old nephew I have engaged him in more than one discussion about the power of debt to undermine his future.  (Yeah, sure, you can make the payment, but what is it REALLY COSTING you?)
Ultimately, I would like to see my nephew in a home some day (if purchased wisely, this is one of the only 'good debts' we can have.).  So, I have taken it on myself to make sure he can get there some day.
I shared this simple formula … (28 comments)

goals: Wishes for a prosperous 2008! - 12/23/07 02:08 PM

By sharing this post, I hope to inspire you, my colleagues, to a BALANCED and PROSPEROUS 2008!
My 'tradition' for this time of year is to take down my "Goals" chalkboard, look at was accomplished, evaluate what was not and then ERASE the whole thing and start over.  The new year always starts with a fresh perspective and a FRESH set of goals.
After a thorough cleaning, the chalkboard is split into sections:
Personal/Spiritual/Business/Financial
For each section a different color of chalk, and (to satisfy the artist in me) I infuse a little "artistic inspiration" in the lines delineating the sectors, culminating with filling in the spaces with my goals.  Some, are clearly within … (6 comments)
