FDR made this a famous statement.....don't let optimism get eaten up by fear! The economy is rough right now, worse than probably all of us has ever seen. But, is it as bad as the media is reporting? Much of this may be political. We all know there is a … (1 comments)
This past weekend we were hit with Santa Ana winds. Some people like it, others (namely allergy sufferers) don't. Personally, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this weather. 
FEAR can certainly take hold of us mentally and physically these days - with all that is in the media regarding our economy, locally and globally.
The last 3 weeks of September 2008 saw Oklahomans harvesting pumpkins and persimmons pretty much as usual. Nationally things were far from usual. The federal government seized Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, Leman Brothers filed bankruptcy, and Merrill Lynch on the verge of bankruptcy was bailed out by Bank of America. … (16 comments)
OK! So I logged out of my email account today and what do I see on the frontpage of the provider...ECONOMIC CRISIS, CUT UP YOUR CREDIT CARDS, HARPER TAKES BLOW BECAUSE OF ECONOMY!!!Until 2 weeks ago, the economy and this credit crisis were not issues in this Canadian Election. So Canada's … (1 comments)
I am tired of hearing news reports recounting how people are scared. They are scared of rising costs, of higher gas prices (even though they are dramatically lower than they were just weeks ago). of losing their jobs or homes, of paying their bills, of going to the doctor, of getting … (113 comments)
I attended school in the 1980's and early 1990's. I was a history major, and for years had read in text books about the Great Depression (1929-39). That depression was sandwiched in between two world wars, and still fresh enough that many of our grandparents or parents may still remember those … (4 comments)
I am sorry to keep talking about sad things in my luxury real estate blog entries, but I just read an article in CNN entitled "Ex-bankers on pushing customers to rack up debt" and it once again brought up many familiar concerns to my mind on the topic of consumer debt. … (0 comments)
There is fear in the marketplace.
I work in all neighborhoods in Manhattan and surrounding buroughs but have become an expert on the Upper Westside, Harlem, and Washington Heights as my clients have directed me into these neighborhoods. When everyone first goes into real estate I overhear them saying, "I won't go up above 96th street." Really?! I … (0 comments)
FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real 
The President did this, the candidates lied, their VP choices stand for this or that.
So, you want to be a Real Estate Investor, but you haven't quite started yet? You have looked at a dozen properties, talked to your mortgage company, spent thousands on education, sought advice from an Agent, and yet, you have yet to put one foot in front of the other. No … (0 comments)
"Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears." Les BrownAs I write this article the headlines in the paper are screaming bad news. Oil is up to $147, then down to $115, war in Afghanistan, Russia, your backyard wherever threatens us. Hurricanes, earthquakes and … (2 comments)
Going to 1st grade can be a very scary thing. My youngest son was terrified of going to a new classroom with new teachers and being at school for a full day. We prepared him the very best we could by reassuring him that he would love eating lunch in the … (10 comments)
I don't like to talk about religion or politics in my posts in general I'm still not going to in this post, this is more about over coming fear. But, my coach and mentor had me fill out a life balance chart and he said something was missing. I had family, … (29 comments)
This week, I thought I'd talk to you a bit about fear because it can get in the way of us getting what we want. 
I've invited several people to Active Rain. Some have accepted, but many others remain standing on the side of the rain puddle ( tsunami might be a more appropriate analogy), afraid to dive in and get their feet wet. Some of the reasons I get for not participating are, "I'm not a … (49 comments)

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I am sitting in my kitchen watching the PGA Championship and planning an investment meeting. I would love to hear from everyone why they think that real estate is becoming a hard investment to translate to people.
Don't be shy if your mortgage amount is more than the value of your home. Many banks and financial institutes are prepared to work with you. The only factor that you have to keep in mind is every short sale is a little bit different. Patients is important and fining the … (0 comments)
Bay Area Business Woman publisher and editor Debra Costner is a no nonsense businesswoman living her “purpose.” In one of the best book reviews to date, Ms. Costner described “Inner Architect: How To Build The Life You Were Designed To Live” as:
WHAT'S THE BEST THAT COULD HAPPEN? Your imaginings exceed reality by far. Imagine how you will feel when your prospect says YES!
BEGIN. Schedule an appointment to begin making contacts. Go ahead, put the date and time in your planner, then keep that date with yourself; it is not negotiable. … (4 comments)
FEAR - Today, it grips our nation.
With all this news of bank closures such as Indybank and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have huge losses we can easily give into fear and say the sky is falling.
Introspective Time! 
Phone fear is based, usually, on the fear of rejection, and fear of rejection is pretty darn typical in any type of sales position. I mean, seriously, who wants to get yelled at, hung up on, or even politely told, "No thanks."? Not me, not you, not anyone. All of my … (6 comments)
I got an email from a client who has been sitting on the fence (like so many of you out there!) and is maintaining his position that the bottom has yet to fall from the Carlsbad and San Diego real estate markets.
Take CHARGE of those things which influence your thinking, behaviors and actions. Associate with like-minded, successful, and responsible people. They can make a significant difference in not only how you think about money, real estate and wealth, but the association you develop will bring to you more opportunities for finding deals, … (3 comments)
I was recently inspired and would like to applaud, a visionary business women, Irene Deely. She is a visionary metal artist, the owner of Women of Steel Gallery in Garden City, ID. She is endeavoring to do a "first" for her business and for Americans across the country. Recently, at our June NAWBO … (7 comments)
When I was younger and the biggest thing we could think about was joining the the Army or Navy. The thought was there, and yet the values and leadership that would be instilled into individuals would last a life time.
This is simple enough and probably something you may have heard before in the past. If so, then take this as a good reminder: Commit to making one 'difficult' call within the first few minutes of your day EVERY DAY. You know the call I'm talking about. Maybe it's to the … (7 comments)
I've long believed that fear is the culprit behind any and all of our failures. It may not be readily apparent in some cases, but if you look deeper it's there.
Anyone who knows me knows that I am petrified of lizards. I don't even like to see them on TV or look at pictures (I can handle the Geico Gecko, though).
Mind Shift 
With a title like that I figure I can set the expectations real low. Seriously low. Even lower, than the offer your clients dragged you away from some family event to write up. Anyhow I didn't drag you here to talk about my low standard, I was just trying to let … (22 comments)
I spent several hours with an incredible women last week. Many of you know her as Lola Audu--the blogging queen here in West Michigan. I have been very fond of Lola for many years and find that she is one of those people that you meet, and know she is a … (2 comments)
I was doing my daily devotion as I do everyday and came across this devotion. I understand some of you are not Christian, but the basics still apply regardless of who or what you worship.
When I was about 7 years old, my family got a dog. My oldest brother, T, had just come back from a trip to Mexico so he suggested a spanish name for the dog: Chico. Chico, so he thought, meant "little boy", and it seemed like an ironically appropriate name for the … (2 comments)
No temptation has siezed you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. 1 Corinthians 10: 13
Do you ever get that feeling like something is always in your way of success and happiness? Well maybe there is something or some one in your way. I love the following quote because some days it really hits home for me.
What do you feel when you hear the word fear?
Some of you will read this and get it.... Others will read this and should get it... It's what will make the difference of either thriving and surviving, or drowning in this market. I have been coaching with Brian Buffini and Company for 4 months, and I believe that our clients … (0 comments)
Well, this is the last step in our 12 ideas to help us improve our lives. This one step will make everything else work. But before I get into it in more detail, let me give you all 12 ideas one last time!
"Now, before you can have expectation , there must be faith to accompany that expectation . And there's only two elements in the world that controls the world, that's fear and faith. That's the difference. Those two elements control all nations, controls all people, controls all churches, controls individuals, is fear … (0 comments)
Everyone has had a bad sales experience in their life. We either bought something we didn't need, were sold something that was not what it appeared, or the service for what we wanted was excruciating. I am certain there are other bad experiences as well but for sake of time let's … (2 comments)
Speaking to members of the Economic Club of New York yesterday, President Bush had this to say:
There is (or was) a reality game show called Fear Factor. It gathered together a group of contestants and the host challenged them to a series of risky tasks. The contestants were eliminated one at a time until the winner was determined.The new Fear Factor is the nightly news. Lately every … (6 comments)
The Deseret News has reported that "Owners of the SunCrest development have defaulted on $58 million in development loans, and residents there are worried the developer could try to sell its remaining assets and leave the state."
Ok.... so this is going to sound a bit strange maybe... but I am starting an Experiment on Success. 
Today is Day #6 since completing my first marathon last Sunday morning. My time 4:44. Not bad if I do say so myself. My first goal was to cross the finish line, my second goal was to cross under 4:30. Could have reached both, but my training took a weird twist. … (1 comments)
That's right, this is my very first Blog post, here I am a realtor for almost nine years and I've never "blogged". You might ask what prompted me to do this now? My reason is I just happened to run across a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt that said, "Do One Thing … (7 comments)

CNN HEADLINEStocks down at end of rocky ride --Wall Street cuts losses, but still ends lower as investors worry about the global economy. Emergency interest rate cut provides little support.
It's one thing to be solicited which I can understand, since I'm in sales. It's another thing to get a message like this: 
....and listen to your gut!
FEAR= False Evidences Appearing Real! That is what Fear really is. It is an imagined outcome of something that has not occurred yet. It holds us back from being all that we can be. 
I remember my first day of "real" school, 1st grade! Man was I scared. It would be my first full day away from my Mommy ever! I would be surrounded by all the "uncertainty" all the "Strangeness" and even some genuine "Dumbness". How would I ever survive???yet not only did I … (2 comments)
What Is FEAR And What Does FEAR Mean?
We all have things we are afraid to do whether they are hidden or not. Want to know what I cringe at? Driving my fiances vehicle...I call this one a "semi-fear". It's not that it's an unsafe car, its just to big and too different from my little 2 door sedan. … (14 comments)
In a continuum from last Thursday’s topic of conversation on the Mind, Body & Soul show at Real Coaching Radio about the “I’m not good enough” syndrome and how it holds us back in life, this week Host Coach Steve Toth and myself, Co-Host Dtª Venerina Conti, talked about the subject … (5 comments)
In a recent sales meeting one of our female REALTORS noted her reticence to hold open houses alone and some trepidation in showing property to strangers. I simply cannot accept that mindset and can only operate my real estate career in a similar fashion as the rest of my life: (a) … (8 comments)
Her smile was simply dazzling when she pulled out her notebook at lunch the other day. A simple black leather journal overflowing with paint chips, fabric swatches and dozens of torn out magazine pages tucked loosely between the sheets. Her first house was just about to close and she couldn’t wait … (59 comments)
Several takeaways from the three hour session with rick deluca this past week in walnut creek, ca:
I know many folks don't understand the real estate process, much less how much training a real estate agent ends up taking or how many reams of forms are involved in selling property.
