Yesterday was Black Friday. Were you up in the wee hours of the morning searching for deals? Did you shop local? Did you stay away from the stores in favor of something else? Buying gifts for others as an expression of love and gratitude is a wonderful thing to do. But don’t forget the most…
Hurray for planning season! Business is winding down for 2014 and it’s time to look at 2015. The New Year is a blank slate, just waiting for you to create something amazing. It’s filled with possibility. Does that scare you or inspire you? Maybe a little bit of both? This week I lead a mentorship…
Growing up I was not one of the cool kids. I didn’t have the latest clothes, my parents were fairly strict (translation I didn’t get to do a lot of things that the other kids did) and we moved every 3 years because my Dad was in the military. Making friends was not always easy.…
Systems sound good. Whenever I attend a class and someone talks about them it feels like a warm, fuzzy blanket. There are visions of well oiled machines running smoothly and little fairies flying around getting things done as if by magic dancing in my head. And then there is the implementation of a system in…

However, bigger lists usually lead to overwhelm and inaction. Make…
Wow! Is it just me, or is your calendar filling up like crazy? The boys are back in school, which means homework, sports and social events galore. On top of that it’s event season for charity auctions and business workshops. Oh, and the holidays will start in a few weeks. How do you get it…
September is back to school month. Weather you have kids in school or not, the energy shifts after Labor Day and things kick into high gear. There is still time to get some serious business done in 2014, but the clock is ticking. The time to take action is NOW. But, as your schedule fills…
If you could have dinner with anyone living or dead, who would it be? For me, it’s Albert Einstein. His quotes cut right to the heart of the matter and provide that “aha” moment of clarity. This image says it all. There is a printed version on my vision board that serves as my 10…
How do you show your clients love? And what’s the right amount so they use you and refer you to others. Staying in touch during a real estate transaction is easy. But do you have a plan to connect with people when they are not actively involved in a purchase or sale? Whenever this comes…
