My schedule is one thing that nags at me - constantly.  I've tried being "conventional" and have failed at it many times.  I'm not a 9-to-5er, not a part-timer, not a workaholic.  I'm sure I fit somewhere within those categories, although I'm not sure so easily or neatly.I think it started when I...

(Side note: This post may seem really elementary to some of you, so don't say I didn't warn you.)Everyone has different reasons for using Firefox over Internet Explorer – security, speed, fewer glitches, whatever.  All of these things attracted me to Firefox in the first place, but after a few we...

Lately, I've been all over the place (physically, but mostly mentally).  This started not too long ago when I did something that went completely against my plan.  More importantly, it went against the grain, against who I am and what I want for my life and business.  I knew it almost immediately....

One of my weakest areas is organization, although some people I know would beg to differ.  The only reason I manage to stay somewhat organized is because I know it's a weakness for me, so I'm constantly on the lookout for ways to improve in this area.  I know if I don't stay on top of it, things ...

I've just about tapped the FSBO inventory here, as well as nearly every expired listing within a fifty-mile radius.  I'm working now to build up my visibility in the area by meetin' and greetin' the local business owners.  As a "new again" agent, I don't have unlimited resources to market and pro...

Okay, I haven't had a day like today in a while.  Before I tell you about it, let me say that I'm generally not the type of person who gripes about every little thing or stays in a bad mood.  Although I have to "check my attitude" sometimes, I'm usually pretty easy-going, and I try to keep my coo...

This past week has been fairly hectic.  I'm just getting things going in the new town.  (Did I tell you that I'm getting back into sales in a new area?)  Anyway, all week I've been FSBO hunting, which means a lot of driving.  When I get back to my office (finally), I have to reply to emails, begi...

(Genus: Pygocentrus)Okay, I mentioned this on one of Rich Jacobson's posts (Give Peace a Chance - sorry, Rich, but I'm having trouble with the link) and realized it was a perfect second lesson "relearned".  Yesterday, I was reading some of the blogs from my area (not AR ones), and I kept coming a...

Over the past several months, I've been working to get back into real estate sales, with much frustration and tons of setbacks I might add.  I don't remember it being this hard when I originally got into sales.  Oh, wait.  That's because I didn't know then what I know now.  Everything I do now is...
