The first challenge is on, and I must say, is giving me QUITE the headache! I felt no need to post a photo of my database, as several good ones have already been posted, that look JUST like mine, lol. Kimberly sent me a very long list of things to keep in mind, while starting my database. WOW, things I never would have considered! Needless to say, I was up very late last night, digging through my car, my purse, my brief case and my rarely used appointment book, digging up all of my contacts names. I found them on scratch paper, flyer's, business cards and numerous other interesting pieces of paper. I spent several hours digging through emails of past clients to get their imformation, that I SHOULD have had easily at my disposal. I should be embarrassed. I am not new to Real Estate, and I know better than to conduct my business this way. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!
Luckily, our first challenge seems to be just what so many of us needed. Isn't it amazing that our Mentors just happen to have their database! (Thus, MENTOR),lol.
Kimberly introduced me to her database system and I am loving it so far. I have loaded quite a few contacts, with far too many more to add. This is going to be one long, sleepless week, but oh so worth it! I believe we will all be so much better because of this. I know the importance of a database, and will never let this get the best of me again, that is a promise!
As for our logo, the tiger eye stands for "FOCUS". Focus is described as follows, which is fitting for all of us:

I know that we all feel so very blessed to be a part of this wonderful competition and I know we are all discovering new things about each other as we go. What a wonderful opportunity for all of us.
I do want to thank Katerina for a much needed post. I am NOT computer literate and spent several hours trying to load our new logo, to no avail! Thanks to Katerina, I was able to easily post it! THANK YOU! Be sure to read her post!

Speaking of Focus, I had better get back to my "assignment", so I will make my WONDERFUL mentor, Kimberly Grant, proud! She's the best and I thank her so much for taking me under her wing!
