accountability: Entitlement
- 01/09/12 03:51 AM
We live in an entitlement minded world these days. Especially if you are a Realtor. We had several years when the economy was good and mortgages were not very difficult to obtain. As you know... those days are gone! Yet, agents still sit around waiting for business to come to them. We would all do good to read the book Who Moved My Cheese?. It does a good job of describing the entitlement mindset. If you are allowing yourself to be victimized by this curse, maybe this read will be an eye opener for you? These days, you must WORK for … (1 comments)
accountability: 2011 Middle TN Real Estate Market Commentary
- 12/13/11 03:24 AM
I continue to be bothered by the constant negative news. I stopped watching all news broadcasts several months ago. Here's the hard truth. Bad stuff is considered news and people listen. It's an unfortunate fact of life. But in the Middle TN market, the news isn't that grim. Here is my perspective from the Middle Tennessee market area. First of all, please remember that when you are watching a national news broadcast, it is written to a national audience and therefore is not specific to a market area. Location, location, location... have you heard that expression before? Your local market may be better … (0 comments)

You go about your usual buisness with full sails. You are singing and wistleing a happy tune... then the naysayer comes along. It might be a client, loved one, boss, or competitor. People have a tendency to want … (4 comments)

accountability: Letting Go
- 11/09/11 06:33 AM
Someone shared a quote with me that goes like this "we are willing to let go of anything, except our own misery". How true is this statement! Have you ever noticed that you will hold onto ill feelings for as long as you are capable? When I have a negative emotion cross me during the day, it completely throws me off. I have a hard time functioning the way I should until I let it go and/ or address and resolve it. Letting go of negative emotions could very well be the single most profitable thing you can do for yourself! Once … (4 comments)
