san diego properties: Put Your Big Rock First! - 10/05/12 02:32 AM
 
 
If you haven’t heard the story of the Big Rock, small rocks pebbles and sand in a jar, the idea is: if you put the sand first, then the pebbles then the small rocks, the big rock doesn’t fit. However if you put the Big rock first, all the other rocks fit plus, when you pour the sand in, it fills the space around everything and fits too.
 
The Point?

san diego properties: Can You Buy a Property for $66,000 in San Diego? - 10/04/12 01:54 AM
 
I have a friend who invests in real estate. After selling one of his condos for top dollar, he wanted to invest in a rental with a good return. He wanted to stay under $100,000 and he wanted it in a decent neighborhood that was a strong rental area. As if that wasn’t enough, he wanted a garage and he didn’t want a fixer.

san diego properties: My Comfort Zone - 10/04/12 01:34 AM
 
My Comfort Zone
Author Unknown
I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I wouldn't fail. The same four walls and busywork were 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 the zone, But deep inside I longed for something special of my own.

After viewing several homes, Will fell in love with … (0 comments)

"Don't laugh!" said the patient, Ed. "Of course I won't laugh," the doctor said. "I'm a professional. In over twenty years I've never laughed at a patient."

Unable to control himself, the doctor started giggling, and then fell laughing to the floor. Ten minutes later, he was able to struggle to his feet and regain his composure.

san diego properties: Love Your Competition - 09/20/12 02:24 AM
 
With no competition, you get careless. Unnecessary costs creep in.
Competition keeps you on your toes. You operate more competently when you have competition. You’re sharper. You may make just as much money with competition as you could without.

You pick up the pace. You work harder and longer and smarter. You’re more motivated than you would be if you didn’t have any competitors.
