  0 New Years Resolutions.    Guide to making it work.     Keeping a resolution's sure to make you jump for joy.1. Write it down. Putting pen to paper is a great way to clarify what it is you want to accomplish. You can use a journal or just write a sentence on an index card that you tape to your mirror. 2. Manage expectations. It's OK to break your resolution in the first week; you just have to be willing to get back on the horse. For many, January just isn't the right time. Start fresh in March, or June. 5 Secrets of the Highest-Paid Women 3. Get a buddy to do it with you.

How do you go about writing your business plan?  Earlier in the year, One of my Active Rain Friends, sent me a link that let you formulate your plan by plugging in the actual numbers of listings and listings sold and so on.  I can not put my hands on that link right now and hope that someone will share it with me again. It is easy to use real numbers and then fill in with additional data.   If you happen to have a plan format to share, I would really appreicaite it.   Thanks,   Ginger of Southport

Re-blogged by 0 agents Our Company always feels that doing an Open House will help sell a property.  I have never been very successful with Open Houses and wanted to reach out to my Active Rain family for some tips and ideas.  When I hold an Open House, I usually spend about $400 on Food and Drink and then we have Door prizes or gas card give aways which can amount to another $200 to $300.  Is this what you do for an Open House?  Sometimes I feel like I am just feeding the hungry agents and buying them to come and see the house that I am promoting.. Please ...If you are successful with Open Houses...share.... Thanks for sharing any tips or ideas. Ginger of Southport ~ North Carolina

I have been on the phone with the Short Sale Department for over 2 hours in trying to resolve a short sale payoff figure. Has anyone else had to deal with a situation like this.  I am about ready to pull my hair out.  I have been on the phone with them almost daily since July 22, 2009.  I think that we can work this out...I just need to speak with someone who is in control. Help.   Ginger Harper

 Social Media Slip Ups.. With corporations making an effort to be more visible in the social media space, the term social media résumé suddenly has a new significance for employees and potential employees. With so much competition for each job opening, employees need to be careful about how they present themselves online. For potential employees, be aware that Human Resource departments do visit your social media sites when considering you for a job - and not just LinkedIn® - all of them. They're browsing through your photos, your blogs, your updates, your Tweets, so make sure that anything available to them is something that you would be willing to share or discuss in an interview. For current employees, more and more stories are being reported about workers being fired by their compa...
