Does your to-do list look like this... with entries carried over to the next day, and the next day, and the next day? There's a solution for that... It's called the One Item to-do List. Each night, before you set your work aside and prepare to rest, decide what one thing is the most important tas...

No, I'm not talking about does your service stink, or even do you have offensive body odor... I'm talking about perfume. Most people include fragrance in their daily routine - and most people use it sparingly. But even sparingly is too much for some of the people you'll encounter during your trav...

Words written in blog posts and on web pages reveal the fact that for some people, there's a lot of confusion over the words "me, myself, and I." Some don't know when to use which of them, and some make the huge grammar error of using one of them first when speaking of themselves and another pers...

A few of the blogs I've read lately touched on agents showing up looking unkempt and grungy. I've seen that too. I remember one agent whose seller required her to be there for showings.

This is something that has puzzled me for a long time, and now that so many agents are crying the blues over "no business," it puzzles me even more. Following up and staying in touch with prospects who visit your website is so very easy... all you have to do is offer a special report that gives v...

After reading and commenting yesterday on Loreena's post: Capitalism: Let The Fittest Survive I've been thinking about it a lot. As I said in my own comments, I believe that only those who give value should survive. And I don't think this only applies to real estate. Excellent service and/or qual...

I'm sure you've heard this before: To be truly happy, look for work doing something that you like so much that you'd do it even if you get paid. What part of your job would you do even if you were independently wealthy and didn't need to earn a living? What part would you never do again? Last nig...

A while back I wrote about having my phone bill slammed after the switch from Verizon to Frontier. After two different sessions of dealing with it, I HOPE the issue is resolved. Now they're back annoying me again... or are they? Maybe this is a scam. My telephone bill was due on September 3 - and...

There are strange things done 'neath the midnight sun... Oh no, wait a minute. This isn't Alaska and there is no midnight sun here. But still... this was strange. Because we live on a rural road, on week-ends like this we get quite a few "tourists" who blast on by the "dead end" sign, through our...
