100 Days to Change

Day 29:  Steps in the right direction or just a DORK? Kim and I put all the kids in strollers and started our daily walk.  After about 30 minutes we stopped to take a drink of water.  That's when I asked Kim, "How many steps do you think we have made?"  She looked at me with that look.  You know ...

Day 28:  Listings are coming in. Twenty-eight days into "100 Days to Change" and I have added two new listings.  I'm totally stoked about it.  Now all I have to do is convert some listings to pendings and eventually closings.  After all, closings are what we need to get paid.  Does anyone know of...

Day 22:  Pedometer Today I splurged and purchased a pedometer for five bucks.  What's a pedometer?  A pedometer is a small device that you fasten to your waist which is supposed to measure the distance you travel throughout the day.  Don't ask me how it works because I don't know. Why did I get o...

Day 21:  Feed the Pig For me, my financials are in dire straits.  In "Shift", Gary Keller talks about making adjustments to survive a shift in the real estate market.  When the market is on the down turn you have to eliminate anything that you can to make it through.  I am now in the process of e...
