real estate coach: Do you ever feel like giving up?
- 09/27/12 09:45 PM
Have you ever had a time in your life when everything seemed to be going wrong and you just felt like giving up? Several times in the past few years I have found my self in a situation where everything just seemed to be bad and getting worse and worse. I had people who were close to me telling me "don't worry, everything happens for a reason and that sooner or later I would find out what it was". Of course, as depressed as I could be, I doubted it. When it's YOU, the whole world can tell you it will get better, but you don't believe it till you see it with your own eyes. … (9 comments)
real estate coach: Is it good business to do business with you?
- 09/26/12 09:42 PM
Do your customers and clients think it's sound business to do business with you? How do you establish a relationship of trust where people know it's good business to do business with you. It's easy if you will follow these two simple but important rules. Rule #1. Under-promise and over deliver. Don't build your people up with unrealistic expectations just to let them down later when those expectations aren't met. Instead create moderate expectations and then perform above those expectations. Rule #2. Always do what you say you are going to do when you say you are going to do it. If you tell your customers you … (4 comments)
real estate coach: What do you mean you don't have time?
- 09/24/12 09:35 PM
Wouldn't it be nice if each day we could work on only our highest-priority activities? By end of each week, we'd finish all our key projects! But unexpected-yet-important distractions inevitably get in the way. Try one, some, or all of these time management tips to release some of that pressure you've been feeling. 1. Make a plan and review it often. What do you want to accomplish in this year? Break that down by quarter. Break down this quarter's plan by month. Break down this month's plan by week. Break down this week's plan by day. Estimate your time investment to ensure … (6 comments)

real estate coach: Planning to launch an attack?
- 09/17/12 02:45 AM
Are you planning to launch a new strategy to attack a goal or objective, but can't quite motivate yourself to get started? What are you waiting for? Most of us are hesitant to start anything new because we are afraid we might make a mistake or fail. Go ahead make mistakes! Don’t wait for more experience or to be good enough to start. You don’t have to be good to start, but you have to start to be good. Don't allow "perfection paralysis" to stand in the way of making a little progress every day. Once you muster up the courage … (5 comments)
real estate coach: If you do nothing you get nothing!
- 09/13/12 09:50 PM
Are you the bump in the road keeping you from getting where you want to go? Often the most difficult step in getting out of one's own way is recognizing that you are indeed, in it. When you encounter problems in achieving your goals, carefully consider whether or not you are the source of those problems. Most of the time we get in our own way by trying to do too much all at once. By working hard at trying to do everything we end up accomplishing very little. Concentrating on one or two projects at a time will actually increase … (32 comments)
real estate coach: This is excellent!
- 09/12/12 09:36 PM
Did you wake up this morning thinking life is excellent? Life is indeed the most excellent of all virtues. If we were to take a moment to reflect upon our own life and its trajectories, we would acknowledge that life has bestowed each one of us with excellence in many ways. Life has always provided each and every one of us with the very best, all times, all instances, always in all ways. Sometimes it may not seem that way but that has more to do with how we perceive things than the reality of our lives. We should always appreciate with immense gratitude this … (1 comments)
real estate coach: Get Up and Try Again!
- 09/11/12 09:49 PM
Quitter or winner, the choice is up to you! A broken-will, big dreams shattered, is this to be your end? Head down, furrowed brow and so despaired, GET UP and try again! A spirit once with wings of passion, thoughts of what could have been It CAN be done, no could about it, PRESS ON, HANG TOUGH my friend You’ve failed that’s true, WHO HASN’T? I can’t count the times I have... But are they stumbling blocks or stepping stones? YOU must choose the path We all have shared rough goings, and YOU are not alone Pity party? Crying about your … (3 comments)
real estate coach: Are you suffering from stinkin' thinkin"?
- 09/09/12 09:49 PM
One of the best tips I ever received from my coach was. "Take immediate action". Even though thoughts, ideas and imagination are very powerful, you can get nothing by just thinking, idealizing or imagining; you must also take action. Action is the bridge between your ideas and their accomplishment. You have to seriously commit to yourself to pay the price, whatever it is. You can do whatever you set your mind to and you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price. So, the message is clear; you and only you are responsible for your thoughts, ideas, imagination, health, well-being, … (5 comments)
real estate coach: Do you love your job as a real estate agent?
- 09/06/12 09:52 PM
Did you wake up today excited about a transaction you are working on? Do you have a new listing that you can't wait to get processed? Do you have a new buyer you can't wait to get into their new property? I guess what I am really asking you is, are you excited to be in the real estate business? Do you see real estate as something you have to do until you can find "something better" or is real estate a career you are excited because it is something you always wanted to do? The answers to these questions will play an important … (9 comments)
real estate coach: Does your life matter?
- 09/05/12 10:02 PM
What is your purpose in life? Finding the answer to this question is the biggest single thing you can do to further your happiness. Nothing will have a more positive effect on your level of accomplishment, fulfillment and happiness than will the belief and understanding that you do bring to humanity something special that no one else can offer. The most important thought that you can ever hold is this: My life matters! This will lead you to be useful in the world, and to feel useful in the world. Life is empty if we are not useful. We defy a … (4 comments)
real estate coach: Do you belong in jail?
- 09/04/12 09:51 PM
Success is there for you!I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I wouldn't fail. The same four walls and busywork where really more like jail. I longed so much to do the things I'd never done before, But stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor. I said it didn't matter that I wasn't doing much. I said I didn't care for things like commission checks and such. I claimed to be so busy with the things inside my zone, But deep inside I longed for something special of my own. I couldn't let my … (3 comments)

real estate coach: This is a powerful message!
- 08/30/12 09:28 PM
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT… There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I would marry you.' One day, a pair of eyes were donated to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend. He asked her, 'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked … (11 comments)
real estate coach: Can your brightest future be behind you?
- 08/29/12 09:57 PM
Is your brightest future behind you? The answer may depend on whether you are working to eliminate your negative habits and self imposed limitations and replacing them with a plan of action and the daily disciplines for success. I am always surprised by the people who seem to be moving through life and acting as if they have no control over where they are going to end up. What about you, do you attribute your success or failure on good luck or bad luck? Or do you accept responsibility for the actions that will determine your luck? The choice is yours. You hold the rudder in your … (3 comments)
real estate coach: Looking for the complaint department?
- 08/28/12 09:51 PM
I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have lots of important responsibilities to fulfill today. The biggest, most important job I have is to choose what kind of day I am going to have today. Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free. Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste. Today … (6 comments)
real estate coach: Why are you afraid of the for sale by owner?
- 08/27/12 10:27 PM
How many good salable listings do you have? Is it enough? Good listings are like money in the bank as listing inventories continue to decline and agents with good salable listings dominate the marketplace. To help you build and maintain your listing inventory of good salable listings you should now be focusing on (helping) converting the for sale by owner. Recent studies show 78% of the homeowners who try to sell themselves end up using the services of a real estate agent. The only real questions are, when they will give it to an agent and which agent that will be. … (5 comments)
real estate coach: Is change a matter of choice?
- 08/26/12 11:19 PM
Every day in my All Star Coaching Program I hear from people who tell me they want to change but, they don't. Instead they focus on all of the reasons they can't change. It’s important for all of us to remember that change is not a question of ability it’s a question of motivation. Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change. Any day we wish; we can open our mind to the knowledge we need to help us change. Any day we wish; we can start a new activity. Any day we wish; we can start the process … (4 comments)
real estate coach: That's not my problem!
- 08/23/12 09:52 PM
Is your day today going to be filled with problems or opportunities? As long as we live, everybody goes through challenges; some people call these challenges problems. If we think we have problems and that we will fail because of them, we are right. As long as we visualize life's challenges as bigger than us, we will not be able to overcome them, to grow nor improve. Awareness is the first step to solving our problems and to make progress. As a matter of fact, all problems and mistakes are opportunities. We find balance by making mistakes, they give us experiences … (6 comments)

Time is your most important asset, do you value it? One day a little boy greeted his father as he returned from work, with a timid voice and idolizing eyes, he asked his father, "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?" Greatly surprised, but giving his boy a glaring look, the father said, "Look, son, not even your mother knows that. Don't bother me now, I'm tired." "But Daddy, just tell me please! How much do you make an hour," the boy insisted. The father, finally giving up, replied: "Twenty dollars per hour." "Okay, Daddy? Could you loan me ten … (8 comments)
