thomas j nelson realtor: Take Action: Balancing
- 07/22/20 05:22 AM
"Life is like riding a bike.
It is impossible to maintain your balance
while standing still."
Author, Linda Brakeall
Your action for today is to take a specific action
that will help you experience
a greater sense of balancing.
Truly, it is never "100% in balance"-a destination you arrive at in life,
it's a constant action towards and awareness of balancing
and understanding that something is always in need of attention
and being at peace with that, because...that's just life.
For me it's goal setting,
scheduling those goals in my daily planner
and time blocking in the 5 Major Circles of Life.

- 07/21/20 07:31 AM
"Luck is a dividend of sweat.
The more you sweat, the luckier you get."
McDonald's Founder, Ray Kroc
Your action for today is to think of an area in your life,
either personal or professional,
where you can put forth more effort to achieve better results.
My professional concentrated effort is in better communication
than expected with my clients.
My personal concentrated effort is focused on my health
this year: conscious food choices and an exercise plan.

thomas j nelson realtor: Now is the Perfect Time for Homeowners to Sell
- 07/21/20 07:16 AM
Now is the perfect time for homeowners to sell...
Buyers are back looking for homes and entering the (almost) post-Covid housing market, while sellers over all are enjoying a robust and competitive market. However, I'll caution you here in San Diego that move-in-ready sells quicker in most areas of our county, much faster than homes with deferred maintenance.
The housing market is experiencing a mini-boom that will last, perhaps, until the end of 2020 and into 2021. As a homeowner and to the real estate professionals out there, you need to take advantage of this demand. You have equity in your home, you … (7 comments)

"If you can't help it, don't think about it."
Actor, Carmel Myers
Your action for today is to take a situation
that has you worried.
See if there is some action you can take to address it.
If there is, take it.

and here's the proof: RECOVERED June 28th POST - Take Action: See It, Appreciate It

...The Beauty In Your Life
"Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it."
~Confucius
Your action for today is to pay attention every time you walk
into a new place, a garden, or room.
Stop for a moment and look for its beauty.
Design an extraordinary day!
Three of my favorite hobbies bring this daily opportunity into
my observations of the moment: golf, hiking and gardening.
I always laugh at my Dad who prides himself on getting through 18 holes
of golf in 3.5 hours. What!?!
We're on millions of dollars worth of beautiful landscaped
property and he wants to get through it. … (2 comments)

thomas j nelson realtor: Take Action: Be The Bean
- 07/18/20 06:29 AM
"People of character do the right thing,
not because they think it will change the world
but because they refuse to be changed by the world."
~ Ethicist, Michael Josephson
Your action for today is is to reflect on a time
when you did the right thing and one where you didn't.
Take time to notice the difference
and how you felt at both times.
I was taught by an antidote long ago,
you can be the carrot, the egg or the coffee bean.
The world is a boiling pot:
You can let it make you soft/weak
like the carrot turns in boiling water
You can let it make … (8 comments)

- 07/17/20 07:28 AM
Fuel Your Opinion with Facts
"The fewer the facts, the stronger the opinion."
Psychologist, Arnold Glasgow
Your action for today is
to see if you can gather some additional facts
about a strong opinion you have.
Political Facts
Racial Facts
Health Facts
Market Facts
Other ? Facts
...all seem to be lacking in 2020 and causing people to behave out of fearful click-bait
and headlines, rather than on factual, researched information.
Jim Rohn used to say "Be a student, not a follower; do your own research, form your own opinion." Zig Ziglar used to say fear is...

thomas j nelson realtor: Take Action: Do It or Kill It
- 07/16/20 06:39 AM
Today's post is the epitome of the Take Action series purpose...
"Even if you are on the right track,
you'll get run over if you just sit there."
~ Will Rogers
Your action for today is to take one of your "to-do's"
and either do it or remove it from your list.
While it is definitely empowering to accomplish
your goals, your tasks and to-do lists,
it can be equally empowering to hit stop or even delete
on recurring goals & tasks that make every list,
yet never are completed. Ask yourself why?
Consider hitting stop and waiting 3 months to see if that's a better
time to tackle that goal/task. If you still can't start … (21 comments)

thomas j nelson realtor: Take Action: Measure Your Wealth
- 07/15/20 07:08 AM
Measure wealth not by the things you have,
but by the things you have for which
you would not take money."
An Unknown Author
Your action for today is to count all those things
you have in your life that are priceless.
You know the old question:
"If your home was on fire,
what would you grab on the way out?"
The last 10 years of my life, despite some major life challenges
and set backs, I've mostly been truly happy.
That has lead me to this answer to that question:
From my heart and my gut...
My Bride, My Son and My Dog
and if there were time, maybe...

thomas j nelson realtor: Take Action: Fail Forward
- 07/13/20 06:26 AM
"My great concern is not whether you have failed,
but whether you are content with your failure."
~ Abraham Lincoln
Your action for today is to review a recent success
you've had and see if you owe some of that success
to a failure from your past.
Failures are Feedback in our "student of life" lives.
They are in fact the feedback that warns... this is not the way.
It doesn't mean you quit, it means try something different.
Don't quit; adjust.

thomas j nelson realtor: Joining The 1,000,000 Points Club...AGAIN!!!
- 07/13/20 05:23 AM
Thanks to the tech issues with Active Rain
and massive June posts & points loss,
I was able to do something pretty unique in the Rain:
I crossed the 1,000,000 point level
for a second time this year!!!
How you ask?
I let a set-back become a set-up
for a comeback.
I didn't stop penning, posting and participating due to the loss.
Setbacks are part of life, marriage, family, business, health, etc.
We need time to process the 5 stages of grief that come with each:
Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression.
Acceptance
We need to go through these stages for loss: a loved one, a job, a marriage or thousands of points in this case...which … (12 comments)

thomas j nelson realtor: Take Action: Eliminate It
- 07/12/20 05:53 AM
"The ability to simplify
means to eliminate the unnecessary
so that the necessary may speak."
~Artist, Hans Hofmann
Your action for today
is to eliminate something that is unnecessary
- from your office, car, home or schedule.
I have done several things to honor thios during
our shelter in place 2020.
Cleaned the office. Cleaned the garage. Organized the book shelves. Tossed out clothes I haven't worn in over a year. Deleted memberships to Facebook Groups I never visit. Eliminated multiple Zoom meetings from my week is the latest. The organization was liberating, gave me a sense of accomplishment and opened up my schedule for … (8 comments)

thomas j nelson realtor: Take Action: Just A Little Bit More
- 07/11/20 03:38 PM
"Four short words sum up what has lifted
most successful individuals above the crowd
--'a little bit more.'
They did all that was expected of them and a little bit more."
Writer, A. Lou Vickery
Your action for today is to do one proactive action
that exceeds someones expectations.
My coaches at Buffini & Company have always told me,
"you did it before, you can do it again, but give me
5% more than last time, just 5%"
So whether its more effort, more time, more energy
of the unexpected extras for your spouse,
kids, family or clients...exceeding what is expected
is what is memorable to them. The Wow! factor.
When Virgin America was still around, they taught … (7 comments)

thomas j nelson realtor: Take Action: Getting Even
- 07/11/20 08:27 AM
"Getting even throws everything out of balance."
~ Journalist, Joe Browne
Your action for today is to reflect on
whether you are trying to get even with someone.
If you are, notice the cost to you.
It's my Italian/Irish Curse: born into grudges & vendettas
But, I realized a few years back, letting other people's
poor behavior, betrayals or harsh words
rent space in your head or heart
costs only you and often they have no clue.
Getting even to me these days, is how can I
perform a random act of kindness for someone else
that would allow me to pour this negative reaction
into a positive energy & act. My … (4 comments)

thomas j nelson realtor: How to Win Your Year in the Next 12 Weeks
- 07/10/20 08:12 PM
I've been using the 12 week year for over 4 years. I've read the book and took the training at Buffini & Company's Peak Experience. My new one starts 8/3/2020. It's a great way to drill down only 3 goals, your most important 3 for the next 3 months. You can start yours anytime, it doesn't have to coincide with the calendar quarters because in between each 12 Week Year, you need to take at least one week off after completion to rest & recharge. This achieve was worth a read for those of you its new too.

to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose
and in the right way - that's not easy."
~ Aristotle
Your action for today is to see if you are angry
about something or with someone.
If you are, what can you do about it?
Design an extraordinary day!
I have had to forgive in my mind, people I couldn't forgive in person.
I have shared anger to restore the peace.
I have had to forgive some pretty major wrong doings.
I have had to let go of anger, with no resolution.
