success: You Have The Choice To Be Successful - 01/21/10 11:30 PM
I am wondering how many people actually know that they have the choice whether to be successful or not.  I think some people adopted thinking that other people can be successful but they can't.  Those limiting thoughts have set you up only for a mediocre life. Is that what you want?
Hopefully religion has not taught you that its more spiritual to just get by or worse yet to be poor.  If so you better get out the WORD and cross reference it with the TRUTH.
"I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that … (6 comments)

success: Success Affirmations - 04/07/09 02:28 AM
From time to time I will share affirmations that have been helpful for me.  I see affirmations as seeds to a better attitude.  Sometimes I just need to run a thought through my mind and out of my mouth a few times to make an attitude adjustment.
Here are a few PROSPERITY AFFIRMATIONS that I thought you might enjoy:
1. Every day in every way I am growing more prosperous, successful, and victorious. I am made for peace, health, and plenty. I am made for success. I am now experiencing success in ever-increasing degrees of good.  For this I praise and give thanks.

success: Be An Eagle!! - 01/28/09 04:50 AM
"Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." (Isaiah 40:30-31)
Take heart if the economy or market has you down.  They are reason to rejoice and celebrate because the OLD way of doing things is passing away which is making way to a new and HIGHER way of doing things.  It is time for the EAGLES to soar.
Any failure of your past has been … (3 comments)

success: I AM...outside the box! - 01/26/09 02:08 PM
Let me share this word of the Lord with you:
"Study this Book of the Law continually. Meditate on it day and night so you may be sure to obey all that is written in it. Only then will you succeed. I command you --be strong and courageous! Don not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:8-9)
Outside the box is where we need to look for GOD.  Not inside the box. God is not limited. God is not sick, broke or afraid.  All the answers to your success are available … (9 comments)

success: Choose to Win Daily! - 07/28/08 06:12 AM
A lot of people like to make excuses.  Often we make excuses and don't even know it. For example if you are blaming the market or the economy for your poor sales performance - THAT IS AN EXCUSE!
We make the choice whether to have a productive day or not. It's all up to you. I am not immune to times of pointing my fingers at something other than me.  Thus I have learned that I need a reminder that I have a choice to do what I need to do. 

Here is another part of the daily declaration that … (7 comments)

success: How did I do that? - 07/23/08 01:00 AM
Since last night I keep thinking about a play I made in our softball game.  There is a great lesson in this post so read it through...
I sit and wonder how did I make that play? 
Here is what happened. I was playing shortstop and someone hit a hard it ball between my position and third base I got a good break on the ball and made an all out dive for the ball.  I stretched as far as I could and caught the ground ball. Roll to sit on my butt, threw the ball sitting down and got the … (5 comments)

success: Stop and think about what you are thinking about! - 07/22/08 05:32 AM
"As he thinks within himself, so he is." Proverbs 23:7 Many times we are not reaching our full potential because we are thinking in a defective pattern. We can not think negatively and live positively. We have to change our thinking pattern so that we will succeed. We can't think failure and live in success. Our lives will follow our thoughts. What we think is the life we will lead. When we think negatively we attract a negative environment. Its only when we change our thinking patterns to positive that we will lead lives of positively. Believe for the best and we … (3 comments)

success: You Need To Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone! - 07/16/08 01:10 PM
I understand the need to feel safe and comfortable.  However, in order to become unstoppable you need to get out of the "comfort zone" and into the "faith zone."
I love this part of the break through declaration that I say daily that's why I am going over it for the third time:
"Like a rocket ship that seems to almost shake to pieces before it breaks through the earths atmosphere. I will never go backward toward comfort and safety but rather forward toward uncertainty, discomfort, and growth. I will persistently pursue my passion in spite of any pain. I know … (1 comments)

success: Blast Into Your Unstoppable Future! - 07/14/08 08:28 AM
Probably one of the biggest reason people don't actually move into the "unstoppable zone" is because they give up too early.  The reason people give up is often there is a lot of preparation and resistance before the break through occurs.  Most people don't have the patience - they want IT now.
Here is another part of the declaration I say daily:
"Like a rocket ship that seems to almost shake to pieces before it breaks through the earths atmosphere. I will never go backward toward comfort and safety but rather forward toward uncertainty, discomfort, and growth. I will persistently pursue … (0 comments)

success: Your Test is Your Testimony! - 07/11/08 12:42 PM
For many agents, brokers and related fields this market is a test.  We are tested often in life through different experiences and situations related to death, health, business, and finances and so on.
Your ability to overcome life's obstacles and persist through life's difficulties builds faith!  What it also does is form a powerful testimony that only you have to share!  Simply saying a powerful declaration like this each day can serve as motivation to always persist and endure knowing soon what took so much work will now come almost effortlessly!
I say this with emotion daily:

For the longest time in my life I believed the wrong voice.  I believed the voice that spoke doubt, fear and worry into my life.  Some of you know the voice I am talking about way too well!  
Know this!  Its okay!  Today is a new day! Perhaps today is the day you invite in the voice of truth.  You have that choice. It may mean that you have to do some things to allow the breakthrough to take place.  That's why I have been sharing bits of the declarations and affirmations that I speak into my life on a daily … (24 comments)

success: Words Are Seeds To Your Success! - 07/01/08 07:09 AM
Most of you have probably heard by now that your thoughts and words have a lot of power.  The thoughts and words you have are seeds that when planted give you your harvest.  If you are not getting the results (harvest) that you like it is wise to look over your thoughts and consider what words you are actually speaking over your life.
Here is another part of the daily declaration I say:
"I'm sowing powerful words which are the seeds of success in my life and I gladly receive them. I will faith it till I make it, by finding … (6 comments)

success: If You're Struggling With Mindset This Will Help - 05/11/08 08:20 AM
For my business my mindset is very critical. With a lot of Realtors and Mortgage Professionals struggling in the current market its very important to pay attention to your thinking and the viberations you are putting out there on a daily basis. 
Last week I had one of those weeks that was frustrating.  I knew I needed to refocus my mind but it was not working.  On Friday I pick up a good book that really spoke to my situation.  Then yesterday I listened to this weeks Success University Faculty call.  This weeks guest was Tamir Qadree.  He shared a lot of … (3 comments)

success: I do actually sell houses! - 04/02/08 01:48 AM
I have been on here a month and some of you have noticed how many blog postings I have made.  You're probably are thinking..."Does this guy actually sell house? Or does he sit on here all day posting blogs?"
Thankfully I do sell houses.  I am on pace for my transaction goal (40 sales).  So I am no super star but that is probably more sales then most people.  The year started off slow and has pick up recently proving that you can still blog and sell houses. 
I do most of my blogging in the evening.  The kids go to bed … (11 comments)

PROVERBS - CHAPTER 31:30-31
"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earn, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."
MY THOUGHTS: First off praise to the good wife's such that Proverbs 31 describes.  Praise to the women who fear the Lord.  You are a blessing to your family, friends, and marketplace!  Know that the city gates in biblical times were where the marketplace people set up.  So use the work that you do as a blessing to … (2 comments)

"Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may disown you and say, 'Who is the Lord?' Or I may become poor and steal and so dishonor the name of my God."
MY THOUGHTS: I am against poverty and for wealth as it gives glory to God.  Now some do disown God by working hard for the riches and putting the Lord on the back burner.  I know that you can make God first place in your … (0 comments)

"An evil man is snared by his own sin, but a righteous one can sing and be glad."
MY THOUGHTS: I believe everyone on this website is a good person.  Perhaps you have done evil in the past, but God forgets about the past when you turn to HIM.  Become righteous, not by what you have done or not done, but by accepting Jesus as Lord of your life.  Doing so will make you sing!  You are forgiven through Christ!

"He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy."
MY THOUGHTS:If you are struggling right now perhaps check yourself for not yet confessed sin.  Maybe there is something that is blocking the prosperous flow to you.  Remember to not only confess your sins, but to turn away and do them no more.
