positive attitudes will get you everywhere: Reflecting on 2023 With A 2024 New View - 12/31/23 11:17 AM
Reflecting on 2023 With A 2024 New View
Our lives, at times, are adversely affected by events outside the scope of control, whether it's the loss of loved ones, break ups, divorce, compromised health or loss of business.
How that is dealt with, determines future days.
Trauma can cause complacency, depression, misplaced anger, feelings of despair or even paralysis. Family and friends are ever so important to lean on during these times.
Turn to them for helpful, sage advice. Most are committed to helping you elevate to a higher level of well being because they have similarly visited the dark depths of despair. 
On the upside, … (18 comments)

positive attitudes will get you everywhere: Looking for a new view? Change the focus. - 08/20/22 10:45 AM
Looking for a new view? Change the focus.
 
Successful, determined real estate professionals can make it in any real estate market and I am proof of that. Entering the industry during an economic down turn, people thought I was absolutely crazy!
 
At that time, I wanted to avoid being employed by a company, where they actually thought they could treat me as they pleased, then hand out a pay check every two weeks as their show of my worth.
 
Once realizing that the working environment was not going to improve, I changed the focus and began taking real estate classes. After receiving my license, … (4 comments)

just a smidgen...
 
Again, media opinionists are pushing their narrative, creating a lot of industry chatter about cyclical patterns and impending disaster. Most days I ignore the constant static and go about my business.
 
Besides, who knows what will happen in the next shift? 
 
Those of us that have experienced a market downturn understand the need to pay attention to trends and subtle nuances in the real estate market, even if it moves just a titch. It helps to decide a clearer direction.
 
Agents in the last economic downturn learned new business practices and standards, tenacity and patience were required. They had a huge advantage … (28 comments)

STOP HATIN'.
 
Do you find that many people are leading with hate, hoping to separate and create fear-based chaos? Hollywood celebrities often do that rather than entertain. Certain politician's and main stream media outlets refuse to take an objective stance, playing up to a hate-based, biased agenda.
 
Well, we can all do SOMETHING ABOUT THAT. I positively believe it!!
 
In the famous words of Martin Luther King Jr.:
I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear. 
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. 
Love has within it … (30 comments)

20 More Days Until January 1st, 2022!
 
It's exciting to look back on the year to gage success and to also reflect on what has worked or not, to consider implementing new processes. Will you remain Top of Mind with your Sphere of Influence? 
 
Sincerity goes a long way in further solidifying business relationships. A holiday greeting card sent through the mail or quick phone call to let them know you care can brighten the day of any receiver. 
 
It is never too soon to start thinking of the year ahead for future business opportunities that may present. First and foremost, I plan continue to … (14 comments)

positive attitudes will get you everywhere: 2020 Won. - 12/29/20 10:23 AM
2020 Won.
 
Oh no, it didn't!
 
2020 was not my worse year by far and life is truly what you make it! The new year promises to be filled with many wonderful blessings, continued business success and future family memories in the works. 
 
You will find me focusing on the positive aspects of life, that is where I reside. There is zero room or time for self-defeating mind games when people depend on me, personally and professionally.
 
The end of 2020 will go out on a high note by listening to one of our favorite local bands in an outdoor setting, while dancing until the … (10 comments)

Dadgummit! 
 
My grandpa Henry was old school, never saying an unkind word for as long as I knew him. That took great restraint. Some people think that, "If you mean it, say it!" but it does not necessarily apply to every situation.
 
As professionals, we must be mindful of what we say to potential buyers and sellers. An unsolicited opinion, even if trying to be helpful can quickly turn people away, even if the relationship is well established. 
 
Showing a client couple a modern adobe-style property in an upper-scale neighborhood, we walked into the lovely living room, which was nicely appointed. It looked promising until … (26 comments)

positive attitudes will get you everywhere: Santa and the Universe says: Ask for what you want! - 11/13/20 09:12 AM
Santa and the Universe says: Ask for what you want!
 
A simple concept when thinking about those things wished for in life, like good health, business success and true love. Of course, not everything maintains an easy reach, is attainable or within the scope of control.
 
Which takes me to the phrase "Ask for what you want, not what you don't want." Positively collaborating with the universe may grant requests without exception, especially when very much desired.
 
On a white board in my home office, my Wish List and transactions-in-progress are posted in plain view. Everything sets to motion when visualized, then written. This … (23 comments)

Elevated Real Estate Standards: It's A Climb!  
 
Wishing to be at the top of the business world? Then meet it with diligence, tenacity and honest work, rather than chasing the money. Building solid relationships will gain favorable results, potentially setting the tone for a lifetime of valuable real estate referrals.
 
To me, the most important aspect in business are the clients, after all, this is a people industry. Spending time to discover wants and needs for buyers or sellers helps to create trust between parties. Rushing the process shows lack of care and insincerity.
 
Avoid being a 'one and done' type agent, and instead, put the clients goals up front. Here are some things to pursue:
Be self-motivated Improve people skills Good communication Realistic marketing plan Save money for leaner times  Create … (8 comments)

Tickle Your Pickle!
 
 
Staying at home the last few days, has given me time to cook quite a few meals for later use and to pickle some boiled eggs! They are sweet, sour and salty plus a delicious, healthy snack and will keep for quite a while.
 
I remember the huge jars of boiled eggs that sat on the counter top of gas stations or country stores back in the day. I put a dozen eggs into each half gallon jar and added a couple of jalapeño slices to each jar for a little kick!
 
This is my first time doing this and am pleased with … (16 comments)

5 Ways to Get Set GO!!!
 
The following tips have often helped me to motivate in the right direction first thing in the morning. A good night's rest will help productivity, concentration and performance. It also contributes to problem-solving.
 
 
 
 
1. Smile upon waking. It positively sets the mind immediately. Looking up also helps to elevate the mood, encouraging a healthy approach.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2. Stretch the body. Get the kinks out of slumbered muscles, aligning the body before going vertical, furthering encouraging blood flow.
 
 
 
 
 
 
3. Take care of business first. Answer e-mails, follow up phone calls, scan, upload completed documents and file paperwork.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
4. Plan out the rest of the day. To be more efficient, time block, otherwise now … (28 comments)

The Face of Business or Alone and Crying, Crying, Crying, Crying... 
 
Mike Cooper posted a video on Facebook regarding a woman who misspelled the word hamster - making it hampster. In a conversation with her boss, she adamantly insisted it was correct and once proved wrong, still refused to accept that, leading to a crying jag. After texting her mom for support at work, she turned on the speaker phone when her mom called, asking her to call the boss and tell her to stop being mean!
 
Which reminds me of a recent experience...
 
I stopped in to get approval for a cookie coupon design (for a mailer to clients) by the owner … (2 comments)

positive attitudes will get you everywhere: Will you MARCH this month? - 03/05/19 06:01 AM
Will you MARCH this month?
 
Left, left, left, right, left. Here we go into the last month in the first quarter of 2019. Did you know that March was named after Mars? I didn’t either until I looked it up. Mars is the icon for fiercely proud, patriotic and heroic qualities - that suits me.
 
Avoid skipping solid planning with a ‘come what may’ attitude, instead, keep in time and step up with intended marketing and advertising goals. My first quarterly mailing was a created the opportunity to be face-to-face with valued clients and will be meeting with a couple to look at houses next week.

Positioning ourselves in front of business for listings or buying clients may mean outdoing the competition with an exceptional set of business standards. Playing by the rules is expected and getting under contract, most exciting, especially when you're IT!

positive attitudes will get you everywhere: To do what is right. - 01/16/19 07:15 AM
The time is always right to do what is right. ~ Martin Luther King Jr.  

From the time of waking every morning, my mind readies for what is ahead, preparing for what the day will bring. Knowing that family relies on follow-through and clients are dependent on a successful end result adds to the purpose of getting up, dressing up and showing up.
 
 
The time is always right to do what is right. Apply this to everyday life, be kind, generous of heart and if you see a need, fill it.

positive attitudes will get you everywhere: Think you can. You're right. - 12/27/18 08:44 AM
Think you can. You're right.
 
 
This simple quote has resonated with me for most of my life. Adults have the best intentions when they say, "You can't do that!" in an effort to keep children safe from harm but the word 'can't' is self-defeating.
 
One thing not allowed in our home was the phrase, "I can't" because even voicing it/repeating it meant a mediocre effort toward anything attempted. Facing fears and preparation helps success.
 
"Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right." became the sage advice given to our children when challenges arose and also mine when changing careers at 45 years of age.
 
Though self-confidence … (52 comments)

Today is sure.
 
As some days seem to fly by, getting the most done in the least amount of time seems to be the goal. Writing contracts, setting time-lines and following up with transactions in progress take careful consideration.
 
Today, I will be showing homes, then signing homemade Christmas cards, addressing envelopes and sending them out to family members and all past and present clients. 'Tis the season to be mindful of present blessings.
 
Yesterday is gone. Today is sure. Tomorrow is a promise to be fulfilled. Make the most of it when you arrive, some will never get there. ~Wanda Kubat-Nerdin

Opening Those Doors to Business Success!
 
Many new recruits must understand that success takes time. These 3 things can push a real estate career forward if implemented or they may close for business upon realizing that opportunity has quickly passed them by:
 
 
SELF-MOTIVATION: Create a daily schedule that is consistent and can be gaged. You must get up, dress up and show up ready to work. Be prepared to work hard for a good while and not get paid immediately.  
KNOWLEDGE: Be the resident real estate agent who possesses up to the minute fact-based information that potential clients can use. A web presence grabs the attention of consumers, plus industry smarts … (30 comments)

Morning shine, unruffled spectacle...
 
 
Each dawn of day allows the opportunity to make the most of what is presented, whether sitting in a pew during worship services, planning a Bucket List trip or anticipating the next work week. 
 
Your choice. Your light. Your life. I choose to be in the full on sun-shine rather than shadowed with doubtful negativity.
 
Morning shine, unruffled spectacle, breathing fresh air unto a soulful sunrise. ~ Wanda Kubat-Nerdin
