Nooooo...Tell me it isn't so!
Are you sure it's Monday says Ashley kitty?!
Not quite sure I'm ready and raring to go but the day will happen anyway despite my lack of motivation this early morning. There are clients to see today, some research to be done on a property and an offer to write, so here I go to meet the day.
Happy Monday all, nothing Mundane about it!

Is your business plan attracting flies or capturing clients?
Prospecting takes on many forms whether it be online or face-to-face and your time should be well spent and spent well. Design your business plan to move traffic in your direction.
Know your target market to be effective. Be consistent, on time, every time. Create an internet and community presence. Stay positive and motivated in your efforts. Convert customers to clients when the opportunity arises. Anything less and you just may be wasting your time, energy and money and that is not an option.

Motivational Monday: Awe inspiring moment!
When was the last time your mouth dropped open because you witnessed something spectacular? No special effects. Flashing lights. Or themed music. Just pure nature taking hold? For my husband and I, that would be yesterday.
We met the greatest of fishermen yesterday at Panguitch Lake, the Bald Eagle. Soaring high overhead, it took him less than 2 minutes to achieve the goal, due to his honed eyesight, keen ability to focus and efficiency. His wing span must have been at least 8 feet or more and what a beauty to behold!
I attempted to get a few shots of … (14 comments)

Motivational Monday: Steer clear or the smell will get ya!
Some people invest in the rumor mill and can't wait to find their next unsuspecting audience. Hearsay and gossip can hurt people and create an energy sucking, negative environment.
As real estate agents, we must be respectful of peers, fellow agents and clients. It's most important to:
Maintain professionalism in the workplace Refrain from delivering erroneous information Allow the Code of Ethics be your guide every day Surround yourself with positive, motivated people Avoid negative discussions that put others in a bad light
Those who give in to the practice of passing on information … (15 comments)

Motivational Monday: Is your best good enough? While it is impossible to be all things to all people, you can find out who you are and allow that be your guide. It is imperative to discover your strengths and use them to:
Set priorities Make decisions Have better relationships Accept your own uniqueness Achieve personal and professional success Let go of comparing yourself to others and to the things that have limited you in the past. Realize that you can’t do it all but you can do your best. And that is good enough.
It really is!

“Some lake somewhere...I'm there!
Due to a burst pipe, Panguitch Lake drained down quite a bit so we have been reluctant to bring the boat. We have been fishing from the bank instead. My husband and I have enjoyed sitting, baiting, casting and catching fish.
Whether your place of relaxation is a beach, an island, a lake or your own back yard, one thing is sure, it's time well spent!
Happy Monday folks! It's now time to get back to work.

Motivational Monday: What drives you to do for others?
The feel-good aspect? Seeing joy in people’s faces? Knowing you will make a difference? Those are all great reasons and why, every year, one of my sons dress up as the Easter Bunny and helps deliver candy-filled eggs to people in care facilities. They are unable to get up and go like we do everyday. So we go to them!
For a few minutes, they are happy to be interrupted by a 7-foot Easter Bunny bearing colorful Easter eggs with a wave, hug or a handshake! One lady wanted to keep … (15 comments)

Motivational Monday: “Take care of you.”
My client says, “Women are taught to be the caregivers, quite often putting their needs aside in order to comfort others. What some people do not realize is that you first need to care of yourself so that can be available to others.”
Eat / Drink plenty of fluids: Even if it just a piece of fruit or a few crackers, stay hydrated
Get a lot of rest: Even a quick nap in the afternoon does wonders
Ask for help: Friends and family may be willing to help
I have assumed the caregiver role in the family, not ever giving … (15 comments)

Thankful Thursdays: Focusing on what is before you.
It is not okay for a semi-truck driver to be traveling down a major highway at 75 miles an hour while reading a book! I repeat, it is NOT OKAY! That 35,000 pound vehicle could suddenly veer into your lane, cut you off when passing...
That type of behavior spells d-i-s-a-s-t-e-r! So, why do people allow themselves to become sidetracked like that?
And texting while driving?! Don't even go there!
You may be wondering what distracted driving has to do with real estate at this point...it has EVERYTHING to do with giving clients your utmost consideration when … (14 comments)

Motivational Monday: Be a standout.
Is there something getting in the way of your business efforts; impeding the goals set forth? Change your point of view, look for options rather than accepting what is before you. The solution might just be one step away.
As I began to take photos of this gorgeous southern Utah sunset, I thought the tree was in the way but when I changed my stance, squatting to the ground, it became obvious that the tree is what makes this view successful, a true standout!
Happy Monday to you all!

Motivational Monday: Make someone’s day!
Tis' the season to be jolly the saying goes but there are some people who, for whatever reasons, are hard-pressed this time of year. Reach out; spread some cheer person to person:
Volunteer for a local cause Go to a nursing home and ‘adopt’ a person Bake some sweet bread and give it away Make a lunch date at a favorite restaurant with a friend Call someone and say “I was just thinking about you...” Life changes, poor health, divorce, death or unemployment may throw people into depression so if you know someone who could … (17 comments)

Most happy people possess an inner drive that starts deep within and works its way outward every day from the moment they wake till they fall into bed at night.
Some really have to work at finding their happiness whether it resides with:
Work Beloved pets Family/friend relationships Personal or professional accomplishments Donating time to special causes or events Happiness is meant to be shared, so if you know someone who could use some cheer, spread a little sunshine and create a ripple effect, you never know where it may lead!

Motivational Monday: No time to be still.
Back in January, I wrote a Motivational Monday post titled Beat All Odds! that talks about overcoming adversity and challenges in life because you-will-be-tested! Through fear, loss or disappointment, we must continue to push through in order to reach the goals set forth, no time to be still.
As we head into November, is time to reflect and look ahead to the coming year. What do you expect to accomplish and how are you going to get there? 2012 will be a new start for me as my real estate partner of 3 years has … (7 comments)
