It's the long weekend and I've been working more hours that exist in a day, or at least I thought. So we're packing up the ole Coleman Tent Trailer and heading on out to the Mogollon Rim up outside of Payson Arizona for a weekend of great views, hikes, fishing and … (3 comments)
Yesterday there was a post on here by the user maitski about excuses realtors make to avoid being the best they can be. It had a list of "if only's" and it reminded me of a sermon I heard in church about "the myth of all set". 
"This house," said the real estate salesman, "has both its good points and its bad points. To show you I'm honest, I'm going to tell you about both."The disadvantages are that there is a chemical plant one block south and a slaughterhouse a block north.""What are the advantages?" inquired the prospective … (3 comments)
Today between taking pictures of an upcoming listing and meeting with a client to present offers, I realized I had about 45 minutes with nothing that had to be done @ the moment, but not really enough time to not totally waste the time by driving to my home office and … (0 comments)
The 3 R's of Real Estate are not Reading, Riting and Rithmetic. For me they stand for:
My kids want us to take them to see Jurassic Park at Heritage Park tonight. It's free and open to the public. I was thinking to myself how wonderful this town is and how much we enjoy life here compared to the high stress environment of Southern California. There is such … (1 comments)
A trip to the spa is always a wonderful experience. Both mind and body get pampered, and the lavish treatment leaves one feeling very special. But a spa treatment can be costly. When the bills come in and the frequent visits to the spa are translated in figures, the word extravagance … (4 comments)

Feeling a bit stressed these days? Try these "thoughts"
See problems as opportunities
Don't take it personally
There is no right answer
It's not a perfect world
Let go. Let God.
This too shall pass
Refute negative thoughts
Stop overgeneralizing
Control yourself, not others
Be yourself … (1 comments)
Yesterday was the first day of summer - officially. Summer is supposed be a more relaxed, even-paced time. Let's kick back and take things in stride. Less stress. We are in a fantastic business. Let's have some fun.
Yes - FREE!! Free concerts all summer long. What a great little town I live in. Aiken, South Carolina. 
Yesterday, I suggested taking some time out for yourself weekly. Literally, write an appointment with yourself into your datebook. Now that you've made your date, here are some questions you can contemplate. Just try a couple at a time and be honest with yourself about them. These can really help you … (2 comments)
I just came across this short movie. I think you all will like and appreciate it.
Recently we have had a lot of talk about offending others in the rain and I do my best to not offend others. I don't get in to political or religious debates, but time to time, I do get stuck in the middle of a debate about a real estate issue … (17 comments)

(Can you hear me now?) It's been a heck of a week. I closed my first escrow on Friday, visited my client at his new home, who is my Friend's Brother on Sunday, and on the way home My husband hit a stroller that found it's way off the back of … (5 comments)

For those longing for the feeling of getting away from Santa Barbara for a few days, a favorite weekend away for many has been El Capitan Canyon. This "luxury campground" is located only about a 25 minutes north of Santa Barbara CA and 15 minutes north of Goleta. The picturesque and semi rustic location in … (0 comments)
I seem to work a lot! I know I should stop but I find myself working till midnight and beyond many nights. I start work normally at 8am.
Loved this - thought it was worth sharing. 
Much needed 'actual' rain in WNC today, and even a little snow in the forecast for Sunday...my best suggestion? Relax, Regroup, and Power Naps! Power naps are not only healthy, but they provide amazing 'brainstorming' time. New ideas, revamped methodologies, consistent innovation, and persistant application are absolute musts in todays market.Two small closings this … (2 comments)
As 2008 approaches I have a tip that was given to me yes.

I was doing some morning reading today and came across a very interesting, humorous, and sad article.
This weekend I will be doing something I have not done in years. I am going camping. And not in an RV!
Let's start with a story. Two people walk in to a room for an appointment with you. Both are dressed professionally. The first person offers their hand to shake - its rough and chapped with age spots. The second offers their hand - its smooth without age marks. You notice that … (0 comments)
The Light is Green . . . . I know everyone with ears has heard talk and more talk about the "declining market" and "waning real estate values", etc., etc. My feeling on this is if you are a buyer who needs a home or an investor looking for value and … (3 comments)
I belong to a bulletin board very similar to this venue and one of the spin offs that popped up there is a club wherein the members trade cigars one amongst the other. Obviously there are all types of cigars available in some parts of the country that are not available … (2 comments)
Enjoy it. We're always waiting ofr the other shoe to drop...and it will...eventually...but shoes don't do much damage. Every day meet each challenge, head on, because the anticipation of a problem is so much worse than the problem itself. I am always surprised when the worst, I expected, is never that bad... … (2 comments)

Being self employed has it's downsides, in my opinion. Working longer hours than our friends, rushing around town to show homes and meeting people.
Warning! This is blatant advertising for the group site: Real Estate and Ballroom Dancing.
I've had a migraine headache for the last three days. Between my sinuses being swollen from allergies and the tension from the pain of my sinuses combined with working on technical issues, I've been miserable. 
Hello to everyone in the AR community,
I would like to share what I read in Business Week Magazine: 
In a world filled with so much to do, taking time to play often gets shoved aside. Sometimes I feel like I am overtaken by "the tyranny of the urgent". Something that I learned from coach, Joe Stumpf of By Referral Only is the concept of blended time. You don't need to … (0 comments)

OK, we all have to take a break from our blogging lifestyles about the things that are on our hearts professionally. We must remember that we need to take a break to. With that in mind, I decided to go way off my normal path and create a poll (if that … (28 comments)
