prosperity: GOOD ACTIVERAIN REAL ESTATE STORY
- 06/20/22 11:54 AM
Just recently, I was contacted via Active rain by someone who wanted me to sell their home. It came across as spam for this one reason. The email was signed "Popeye". It also gave a phone number and of course their email address. What did I do? Dismissed the whole thing via deleting and moved on. BUT WAIT, there is more
THAT NAGGING FEELING
A day or two later, this revisiting of what took place and what I did kept coming back to me until I finally honored it and decided to do a little investigating. I googled the email and phone and … (29 comments)

prosperity: MY EYES HAVE SEEN THE GLORY
- 07/04/21 06:14 AM
I speak and refer to the Independance of the United States of America and of all those responsible for this great country's birth, maintenance and continued prosperity. What the USA accomplished was hard fought for. Want proof? Use the Richie Reverse Rule (RRR). Take away our prize of freedom & liberty and you will see it for yourself the obvious value.
COLLECTIVE EFFORT
We all have our own individual beliefs some secret and some shared. Imagine then a time in our history where we all arrived ad agreed on the subject of live and let live? The dynamics and events must have been … (4 comments)

prosperity: MIND and then MINE your business
- 05/02/21 11:18 AM
Distractions, temptations and poor choices all serve to remind us to first to mind our own business, pursue our own welfare and to perfect our own life style by attending to it. Minding anywhere else creates losses, leakages and stagnation in what amounts to our personal development. Heal thyself first and then do as you will
MINE YOUR OWN BUSINESS
There is literally gold within the self a sort of treasure chest filled with everything you could want and need and how to go about it all that when visited, probed and tested proves itself true. Your personal "gold" mine only needs a … (2 comments)

prosperity: GOVERNMENT DO YOU GET IT YET?
- 05/13/16 10:04 AM
Its not that people love the candidates running like they think they do. After all, who really knows these people? I have never met them and anything you read is second or third hand and may or may not be true. But this I do know. Congress and the existing system doesn't work. It has had a long long test run. It's failing. The people in the system are the cause as well
GET TO WORK
Now to be fair, there are quite a few outdated, poorly written and misapplied laws, rules, regulations and the like and having to work with them is a … (11 comments)

prosperity: I CAN USE THE MONEY TOO
- 06/03/15 09:49 AM
When it comes to a commission, I see where it all can be mine and I see where some of it can be mine and I also where some can be yours too. When things get tight, and there are many reasons to cause that, people start coming from scarcity and I am not one to question another needs. That's their private business however...
MAKING REAL ESTATE MOVES
There are incidents in this business where double-ending, doing pocket listings and offering a poor split becomes more than a temptation. It becomes a way of life and many succumb to it. I remember when I … (18 comments)

prosperity: WHY CAN'T CHRISTMAS LAST FOR 60 DAYS?
- 12/05/14 11:47 PM
It is so beautiful a time of year and many go out of their way to make it so even extra special too. Thirty days of Christmas seems like a long time yet if you travel at all, there is so much to see in regards to how people celebrate it. So, with that in mind, why cant we make it a sixty day affair instead of thirty days?

prosperity: PUT SOME LEGS ON IT
- 07/28/14 04:35 AM
Dream all you want. Wish away and the sky is the limit. Hope for the best. However, at some point, the most effective, guaranteed, down to earth, works every time, is when you take it all, whatever ALL is and put forth energy into it, then stand back and behold what will visit with you next. RESULTS! One way or the other, something will happen. Its the action that was needed to cause a reaction. That comes from you
GIVE ME A CHANCE
One thing I have become aware of over the decades is how the American dream works if you work. … (4 comments)

prosperity: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HOLD THINGS IN
- 02/23/14 05:41 AM
It is called withhold. You keep something inside of you that shouldn't be kept. If you keep adding to it, you bring stress inside of you along with the mis-deed. Eventually, your body will rebel with a sickness which is its way of speaking. Its time to re-assess
THE HEAVY LOAD
We were not created to hold things in. We are vessels of transport not storage containers as the world would have you believe. Being weighed down with excessive thinking and deed causes us to sink more into a container type existence. Why put a limit on yourself like that?
THE VOLCANO PRINCIPAL

prosperity: HOW THE REAL ESTATE AGENT CAME TO BE
- 02/19/14 10:41 PM
If you look at history and start-up for countries, states or cities, the foundation of their being came from corner stone activities that were added on to and developed into what you see today. Take the Wild West of the Americas for instance. A blacksmith was in demand everywhere he went. He fixed wagons, shoo-ed horses and made things to order
WHERES THE NEAREST BLACKSMITH?
He had to but set up a place and the word gets out and people come to him. Of course where there are people gathering causes some fellow to put in a General store so they can shop while they … (4 comments)

In part one, we explore how a developer came to a sleepy neighborhood and started buying up properties at double or more of their values to assemble land for a subdivision that would be built out as a gated community

prosperity: REAL ESTATE AGENT PLAYED LETS MAKE A DEAL AND GAVE AWAY MONEY part 1
- 01/31/14 11:46 PM
I was working for a developer who went into a sleepy section of a certain city and started looking into what could be developed there. This part of town was rural and consisted of large lots with small homes on them. The business plan was to assemble acreage and entitle it for subdivisions. We wanted the land not the homes.
DEVELOPER HAD A FORMULA
Developers have a formula under which they operate. They do math. Up front math, construction math and end math. They know what it will take to assemble and build and quickly get to the end with a profit of 25-200% depending on … (6 comments)

In parts 1 and 2, I tell of a developer who is offering double the value of your home and much more if all the right ducks line up and quack. We learned in part 2 how to kill the goose that lay-ed the Golden Real Estate egg. Here's how it all starts and ends too

The best speed of all is GODSPEED the speed of which God moves in your life. May all that is yours be yours and come to you freely and without too much effort. Let us all continue to examine ourselves letting go of what did not work well to find that which does

GODSPEED is also a blessing of success and well wishing but I like to use it literally too. Is there anything higher or more beneficial than God and you going through life together? A friend that is closer than a brother? A light that never fades? A love … (4 comments)

- 08/13/13 02:44 AM
It is such an inviting subject and very much a part of our lives. Who doesn't at some point or another dream of wanting to enter in this field either to do business or help others do it. It is a mainstay part of the United States and its foundation. To be able to purchase a piece of a part of a country is an amazing concept. Many other countries invest trillions in this one and that is no secret

prosperity: WHEN RATES WERE HIGH PEOPLE WISHED THEM LOW
- 12/31/12 10:54 PM
Go back some Real Estate "cycles" ago when interest rates were high and not attractive, people accepted that and purchased anyway. The thought process back then was to just get a home. It was a good place to park your money and settle down. Then, at some future point when the rates dipped, you would make your move
REFINANCE
The move was to refinance the purchase to a lower rate. Sure it would cost you some escrow fees and maybe some points, but the thought of permanently lowering your monthly payment for the duration of a 15, 20, 25 or 30 … (10 comments)

prosperity: THE PROBLEMS OF LIFE ALL GOOD
- 08/08/12 07:25 AM
In order for one to complain, not appreciate, criticize, or not participate, one has to have something very important before all that kicks in. LIFE...you have to be alive to experience the pain, the problems and the rewards that come from being alive. I sometimes study nature and I am sure they don't like the fact that they can be preyed upon...They adjust and live
ITS THE ONLY LIFE I HAVE
In effect, they are protecting the life that they have. It is worth protecting and even worth more when living it. Animals realize this as well as insects and plants too. … (2 comments)

prosperity: THE MESSAGE VERSUS THE MESSENGER
- 05/21/12 07:28 AM
How often do we all take the bait...the low hanging fruit and succumb to the temptation of the moment. The result? The messenger has been shot or taken hostage. The message goes unheeded. If we can reverse this or even better just observe it all, change would make its way to whatever is going on. The first change would be on how we handle the situation at hand
MESSAGE COMING IN
Thirty years ago, I once turned away an all cash buyer because they didn't look, sound, or act like one. What made it worse is they didn't speak good English and … (2 comments)

prosperity: WHY BUSINESS SHOULD BE BOOMING FOR REAL ESTATE AGENTS
- 08/04/11 04:29 AM
Housing has gotten more press in the last few years than any subject around. It is scheduled to receive even more coverage. If you had to spend money $$$ to market what the media has been saying all this time, it would be in the multi-billions. If you spent that type of money on anything, it would be on everyone's mind and radar. IT IS
