Ok so I have started a new affirmation prior to an appointment that really helps me to keep myself in the right mindset! I repeat to myself several time this phrase... "THEY NEED ME!< THEY NEED ME, THEY NEED ME!!" I know it sounds a bit corny, but I have decided that repeating what is true can only help me to be a better service to my clients. They truly do need me. They need me to sell their home, so they can move closer to Mom, because she needs them. Or they need a larger home, or a smaller home because the other home doesn't fit their growing family. Whatever the need I am sure THEY NEED ME! I find that sittting in my car a few minutes before the meeting and repeating that phrase to myself is a positive affirmation that keeps me going. When they have a negative opinion of something ... 01/08/2010

OK so I love the snow! BUt here in Southern Maryland we "rarely" get any. Not this time. We have almost 2 feet of snow from one storm. The problem with that is... I have a lot to get done. I need to be prospecting, a service call for my homebuilding company, and need to get some Christmas shopping done. All the while shovel the driveway. Well with all that to get done it is still nice to look out the window at a snow covered yard. 12/20/2009
