My irises are blooming, the sun is shining and the wildflowers are in bloom all over Arizona! Life is good!
Robin Williams says,"Spring is Mother Nature's way of saying Let's Party!"
And since I turn 60 on Friday...I plan to follow the preaching's of that wise Mother!
I don't know about you, but this aging thing has been quite interesting. I used to have some concept of 60 being old. Just doesn't apply! Bub says maybe I will grow up by the time I turn 60 on Friday, but I doubt it.
I can say I am enjoying myself more than ever. Being a Grandma has to be the best title I have earned in all these years. I have made some decisions about what is and what isn't important. People always trump things! I have also begun to become a lot more LOW MAINTENANCE!! I have let the color grow out and now have hair that has natural highlights! (and it isn't nearly as grey as I thought it was). A good day is waking up above ground with food in the fridge, gas in the car and a roof over my head with the wherewithal to enjoy the people in my life. "Let's Party" seems like a good theme for not only the week, but for every day.
I don't want to make light of the problems with the housing market, the economy, the war, and global warming. I also know I can only make a difference in certain ways. So, the way I plan to contribute this week is by smiling and attempting to bring smiles to others. It may seem selfish or small, but I have a certainty of belief that it will all turn out if I do the best I can! My birthday wish for you is that you also have many things to be grateful for that you can focus on today and get joy from. Let's leave worry somewhere else and LIVE our best lives today!
And, if you want to come to one of my 2 birthday parties...here's the e-vite
BUSINESS TIP
The most important thing you can do for your business right now is to keep planting seeds. Yes, it takes more. Yes, some of them are not breaking through the ground into flower, but you still must be consistent in the planting.
Look for lower cost ways to keep expanding your reach:
-
Network more.
-
Have a client appreciation party.
-
A Thank God It's Spring Party.
-
Knock on some doors.
-
Hold some amazing open house events!
Get out there and play.
What have you been wanting to do? Skydive? Paint? Tennis? Weave? That's one I am going to do this year! What would you love to learn or do and have been too busy?
Now is the time. AND, there will be other people there you will connect with. Odds are 1 in 10 needs a real estate agent! Go have some fun. People will be attracted to you. STOP TRYING SO HARD! (If you need some help in this, come play with me in my RELAX AND ATTRACT TeleConference--see below)
Maybe a monthly call (using voice broadcast) with the "good news" about real estate. Something like that will likely cost less than $100 to reach 250-$300 people with a personal message. If you aren't familiar with this technology, listen to my Fossland's Forum interview in February. Jeff Troyer from Automatic Response Technologies shared some great marketing ideas and why voice broadcasting is a smart way to work (don't you keep saying,"I need to work smarter?") Use code 5250 to save money.
