Take Time Out Today Let's take a time out from inspiring ourselves today to have a little fun, send some gratitude and enjoy this holiday season. First - Let's say thanks! http://www.letssaythanks.com/ This is a website set and paid by Xerox to send cards of thanks to our troops serving abroad. The cards are custom cards designed by kids around the United States and its easy to select one design, write a message and then send. It's free and obligatory (my opinion) to say thanks to those who ensure our freedom. Freedom is not free. Second - Elf Yourself http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=1315028397 Many of … (2 comments)

Thanksgiving ***Thanksgiving is the most important holiday of the year for me. My career in real estate is a result of a literal life-changing event in January 1992 - the sudden death of my father. The previous Thanksgiving was the last time I saw my dad. I was supposedly attending Arizona State University at the time and working full time with gemstones. Due to the demands of retail and the holidays, I had chosen to remain in Arizona for the holiday but my dad would not have any of that. I flew home Wednesday night and flew back 24 hours later. I should … (1 comments)

The Secret of Success There was once a boy who wanted to seek the secret of success. One day he approached a wise man living up in the mountain. When he found the wise man at the hut, he asked, "Wise man, can you tell me the secret to becoming successful in life?" The wise man was silent for a while. After a moment of silence, the wise man led the young lad to a nearby river. They kept walking into the river until the boy's head was fully submerged in the water. The boy struggled to keep his head above the … (3 comments)

There was a hunter who came into the possession of a special bird dog. The dog was the only one of its kind, because it can walk on water. One day he invited a friend to go hunting with him so that he could show off his prized possession. After some time, they shot a few ducks, which fell into the river. The man ordered his dog to run and fetch the birds. The dog ran on water to fetch the birds. The man was expecting a compliment about the amazing dog, but did not receive it. Being curious, he asked … (4 comments)

Or does it? It is a matter of perspective. To the Achieved, success is sweet. To those who have yet to taste, it may suck. Why? It's all the stuff in between the initial desire to be a success and the achievement of that goal or desire. It's hard, not fun, and can just plain suck. >>Do you think Michael Jordan enjoyed shooting the hours of free throws he did?>>Does Tiger Woods enjoy taking 1000 swings of his driver to change his drive direction by one or two degrees?>>Does a doctor like the cadavers, long hours as in intern, and residency, in … (3 comments)
inspiration: Best Practices Idea - Picture This!

Closing gifts are forever a challenge for real estate agents. Some do not do them, some do. For those who do, the pressure of what and how much leads to a whole new set of challenges. Here is a rather inexpensive yet sentimental closing gift idea. Take a picture of the new home. Do so with or without the buyers in front of the home. Take the picture back to your office and use a photo editing program (Adobe Photoshop Elements is good) to transform the picture from a photo to a water color, sepia, or pencil line drawing. Print it 8x10 … (6 comments)

He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery . ~Harold Wilson I am certainly not one of those who need to be prodded. In fact, if anything, I am the prod. ~Winston Churchill I dream my painting , and then I paint my dream . ~Vincent Van Gogh What is the difference? 2 agents in the same company produce dramatically different results. They both have the same goals. One falls miserably short, the other surpasses it by more than 40%. What is the difference in the agents? They have the … (4 comments)

A simple message today. What is written below has been incorrectly credited to Nelson Mandela as part of his 1994 Inauguration Speech. It was in fact written by Marianne Williamson, an author. It is beautiful regardless. Read these words. Change your perspective. " Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small … (2 comments)

Lou Holtz is one of the most successful college football coaches in history. He is an accomplished speaker and author as well. Holtz led Notre Dame to the 1988 national championship and remains 11th on the NCAA all-time win list for Division I-A coaches. Holtz took his Notre Dame teams to nine straight New Year's Day bowl games from 1987 through ‘95 and coached the Irish to finishes of sixth or better in the final Associated Press poll in five seasons. I guess you could say he knows how to win. Here are a few choice few quotes from Lou Holtz."Life … (2 comments)

First, a little ditty from Uncle Milty. "I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are." Milton Berle Tonight I'll close with this. I can read this over and over, its impact can be huge! We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents, or our times or country of birth, or the circumstances of our upbringing. We do not … (0 comments)
