Deciding on the balance that you want to have between business success, family success and leisure time is the difference between judging your own success and failure.
Greetings Universe,
Today's sudden passing of Tim Russert should serve as a sobering reminder that we never know how much time we have on this earth and how important it is to have our priorities in order.
"Learn to say ‘No' to the good so you can say ‘Yes' to the best"
Okay, almost 2 weeks ago, my 13-month old son was med-evac'd by helicopter from a close hospital to one about 35 miles away that had a PICU (Pediatrician's Intensive Care Unit). He was in really bad shape with enough difficulty that they had to funnel 70% helium with 30% oxygen through … (25 comments)
I took a great Time Management course about 20 years ago and in my previous career, I considered myself to be skilled at managing my time. Goals were set, plans developed, and projects implemented as planned. I was always on time to meetings/appointments and followed up on tasks I had promised to do. … (10 comments)
Its easy to forget what really matters. Most of us on here are busy trying to get enough sales to cash flow at the end of the month. We work long days and many of us work nights and weekends showing home buyers houses. Here is a story I came across … (4 comments)
Are you a workaholic? Do you spend more time working then most people?
Over the years I've found myself not having sufficient time to complete those things that are most important. I've come to realize that one of the main reasons is my inability to say no at the right time and in the right way.
REALTOR; Heck of a day yesterday, heck of a day today. Deals coming together, deals falling apart, deals on hold. Seminars, meetings, eat, sleep, you get the drill.SISTER/AUNT: Everything was PROMISED to be OK just 2 days ago. My brother and his wife had a baby on March 10th; they had known … (13 comments)
In today's industry, negativity is everywhere. Our office went through the exercise below (provided by Buffini & Company) as a way to remind us that life is good and the stronger we are, the more we will be able to proved for our clients. A few of my co-workers even had their kids … (4 comments)
I was just leaving a comment on someone else's post and it turned in to a venting session so much so that it is worthy of being it's own post. 
Do we really know what is important? In any given day, do we value what we have or just take it for granted and let the petty frustrations of our real estate career bury our real life's mission and divert our priorities? Do we often half listen to our spouse or … (2 comments)
When it comes to completing an accomplished day, I think of the words of the Apostle Paul, "I die daily to myself"...
Have we mastered the art of juggling yet?
On our December 28th show, we had special guest, Diane Randall. Diane, a wellness coach and self-care expert who has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, talked to us about the challenges modern women face in balancing home, family, and career and how women can meet their responsibilities and feel fulfilled … (2 comments)
If you ask someone what their priorities are, they will usually say that their family is their first priority. But what does that mean? Do you work overtime trying to make more money for your family or do you leave work early to see you children play soccer? Same priority, completely opposite … (3 comments)
I know I am dancing a fine line here I am very much a believer in this system and I want to give props to the system and that author, but if you want more information you will need to email me. 
We've each been blessed with a brand, new day. How are we going to spend it?
Real Estate is a complicated career choice with a lot of stress. Much of the stress is avoidable with good time management practices. Time is a commodity, and we waste so much of it. Value yourself and your time. I want you to ask yourself this question: "Am I regularly and … (10 comments)
Often when REALTORs go out to do a new listing they try to get the sellers to see their home as buyers would. Sometimes the seller listen and sometimes they do not. If you are a fan of any of the plethora of TV shows that are airing now that … (10 comments)
To truly achieve success one has to create their own vision of exactly what it is they want and desire. Don't look at other people's success because we don't always know what is going on behind the scences. Their monetary success may be built on sinking sand instead of a firm … (4 comments)
Yesterday, I was driving to an all day management training class. I'd spent Tuesday afternoon in class getting rental certified, so I was not looking forward to being in the classroom again in the same week. I had to leave my house at 7:30 a.m. to make it to the class … (4 comments)
Do you remember the sayings, "Don't put the cart before the horse," or "Which came first - the chicken or the egg?" They have to do with priorities, don't they, like deciding which task to accomplish first? 
How to balance work and home
My life is a constant juggling act and I have to admit, I'm not that great at keeping all my balls in the air. I'm a single mother with two children, I have a very busy career, I have a life outside of children and work (okay, that one's not true), … (27 comments)
It is that time of year when we have more opportunity to reflect on what is important to us. The office is always going to be there. Our family may not. I would ask each and all of you to slow down for a minute, put the shopping on pause, … (5 comments)
Most of the sermons that our Minister preaches on Sunday Morning hit home with me, in fact most of the time I think that the sermon is about me. It isn’t, but that is what a good sermon should do, talk directly to us and make us look at ourselves. … (24 comments)
For the past nine weeks, I’ve been taking a top-rated real estate sales class. Their website and literature practically guarantee an increase in sales for any agent who completes the entire course. It has been informative and challenging and I have definately learned a few things and there’s no doubt … (2 comments)
I wake up most mornings with my mind racing, even if my physical body is in a coma! 
For the past 13 years, my computer desktop has been a picture of tropical waters with an island on one side with a palm tree and a sail boat on the other. Most of you have this image pre-installed with Windows, called Azul. I’ve had this picture on my home, office … (9 comments)
I have heard this story several ways but here is how we tell it from our experience.
