Is your business from generation to generation? Business derived from generation to generation is one of the best ways to generate new business leads in real estate; and may be in other businesses too.   I work with many senior citizens/baby boomer buyers and sellers. Throughout the years I built and grew friendships into long lasting relationships by keeping my appointments and promises, as well as verifying facts and providing services. As a result, I became their family friend, with sons and daughters, grandsons and granddaughters all knowing me. When their son, daughter, or friends are thinking about buying or selling, immediately they call me. When grandsons, granddaughters, or their friends are thinking about buying, they will call me too. I am honored to be the family's Real Esta...

One of Sarasota's Best Burger Joints: The Frosted Mug Let me start off by saying that The Frosted Mug isn't located directly in Sarasota, it is in Venice, which is only a short drive south, and it is in the county. This Venice establishment was one of the first businesses built on Tamiami Trail, and has been in continuous operation since 1957. When you go to this cash only establishment, you can choose to sit outside and wave to those driving south on Tamiami Trail, or you can sit inside and check out all of the memorabilia on the walls. So what does one order when they go to The Frosted Mug? Some patron favorites include the Big Buc Burger, Chili Burger, Reuben Dog, or the Famous Philly. One of my favorite meals is the Cheese Burger in Paradise, with bleu cheese and a side of sweet pot...
