NOW, You have the Time.
Next, You'll have the $$$$$$
Then, You can go back and waste all the time you want to.

GO GO GO

Homeless family (snow and Cold) needed a roof over their head.

Networking PAYS - I called a few REI, that's right on Thanksgiving day- and NEEDED a place for this family.

Finally Got one!! EVEN on THANKSGIVING day.

Now we need trucks to move belongngs etc, Uhaul is closed.

Got a few trucks together, moved everything and got them settled in.

We chipped in and went to Walmart, got food, stuff they needed to get comfortable.

I have a storage unit with furniture, tv's, microwaves etc that I get for free and GIVE back to ppl in NEED, so we made a load to HELP.

The feeling of HELPING needing ppl outweighed the missing my family on ThanksGIVING day.

Networking and gathering free stuff allowed me to get this Family out of the Cold/snow.

When talking to a homeowner with a house listed by a Realtor, there is a conflict that brings up a valid source of resistance. What do others on the forum think about this as a solution when the exit strategy is to put the house under contract and then assign the contract to a tenant/buyer?

If you've been watching the Winter Olympics closely, you’ll have noticed that many of the medal winners are using special mental rituals to maximize their performance.

Many of these same techniques can be used by executives and entrepreneurs to improve their results.

In today’s column I’m going to outline four of the best sports psychology techniques that anyone in the business world can use to lift their level of achievement in the workplace.

1. Get in the Right State Before you Begin Work

Every Winter Olympic champion takes the time directly before their event to steady themselves, get focused and in the optimum state to perform at their peak.

Yet most business executives rush into work and just start on tasks. Big mistake.

I first wanted to define how a business should go about finding their ture core competency.

They need to know what they do best and attract ideal clients.

On the other hand, this article is all about the investor correctly defining their WHY. Why are they investing in real estate in the first place.

When an investor matches their WHY with a company looking for them as an ideal client. It can be a very rewarding and profitable experience for both! The real challenge is getting everyone to get on the same page.

As with any trend, you can see spikes in interest and activity among real estate investors based on the media and news cycle. Since 2004, the housing market has been a constant story in the media as the markets have followed a roller coaster curve.

Technology and the Internet have changed the practice of real estate in many ways. Real estate agents used to carry around a Listings Book, a massive printed set of photos and data about listed properties. It was always at least a month out of date, and they would also have to carry temporary sheets for new listings they faxed around to each other. It was good for them though, as they controlled all of the information and the consumer had to get it from the agents.

I didn't see this one in Dean's list.

Using a piece of real estate for MARKETING ONLINE. This can be obvious (virtual real estate, such as this forum, a blog, a name-squeeze page, a wiki, an article directory, a PORTAL such as yahoo, a traffic exchange, and dozens more archetypes.

A variation of the above that can be used for MANY different online monetization strategies, is a yacht - especially a blue water vessel that is a PERSONAL SOVEREIGNTY DEVICE, because it does EVERYTHING a human or family needs, including providing clean drinking water (if properly equipped), food (easier in some environments that others), entertainment (best on earth), and education (again, nothing EVEN COMES CLOSE).

Great content here. Nice little forum. Needs help (my confirmation email went STRAIGHT TO SPAM ON YAHOO - surprise, surprise)
Where's a decent WEB DEVELOPER and vBULLETIN ENGINEER when you need one? hehehe (sigh)
This should be a REAL SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM - like ANY of these 3:
- Joomla with the WILDLY-POWERFUL JomSocial extension
- Dolphin Social CMS from Boonex
- The BEAST - SSG (social site gen) (PROPRIETARY - first two are OS - Open Source)

I asked this one POLITELY a year ago, and immediately thought of my good friend Ian Anderson, of Jethro Tull.

From TAAB - Thick As A Brick

"My word's but a whisper, your DEAFNESS A SHOUT! BOMP!"
(they ALWAYS finish a BIG MEME with a BANG on a drum or organ - organs are really PERCUSSION in disguise)

You cant hustle a hustler basically because they have what you are interested in. Normally at a cost to them.

So how?

Many years ago I read a collection of books about the Western Civilization.

Aristotle or Socrates gave a discourse on Argumentation. In short-- convince them u r not rejecting their statements by reaffirming them with your words.

Then they will be apt to hear ur stance and consider and ultimately they will suggest what u promote.
