Finally! I was lost but now I have a compass!

Finally!  I was lost but now I have a compass!  On Friday June 13, 2014, only three days before my 32nd birthday, I was told my employment with Morgan Properties was terminated.  All I could think of was "But I just ordered my birthday cake!"

 

It is Thursday October 2, 2014 and I can say that even though I have been unable to find my path, I have a good compass and a set of tools to navigate through life with my head held up high!  The path wasn't easy but it was crowded with the right people.  In the beginning it was hard to see because I had my head up my behind.  I still can't see but my compass is guiding me the right way!

 

How do I know?  Because I am happy!  I feel productive!  Creativity is coming in slowly.  I'm excited about my future!  So this is what I have been doing:

 

1)  Sold my first house on Sept 4th

2) Opened my 2nd Property Management Company for HOA/Condo Associations

3) Have written a lot of contracts!

4) Have a business coach

5) Have a real estate property management mentor

6) Going to counseling

7) Started drawing

8) Have a part time job being concierge at a Luxury Apartment Complex Downtown

10) Wore my PINK hard hat at a solar panel farm!!

 

 

 

11) Cut my hair!!

12) Will be going to Puerto Rico in November

 

My husband and I went through a couple of hick-ups but his disposition to make things work is fabulous!  We accept we communicate differently and make adjustments.

 

As for my real estate sales, slowly but surely!  Went to the Dundalk Housing Fair last Saturday and we got 20 leads!  Sent emails out today!  I  have been sending  my FSBO (For Sale By Owner) care packages!  They are a riot!  Been following up with them too!  Third and Second letters going out on Monday!

 

My mother was operated on yesterday fixing her right wrist which she fractured about two weeks ago.  It was a hard long way but finally it's done.  She is in a lot of pain, which I wish I could take away and make her feel better and have her laughing.  Not having someone laugh, when that's what is what they usually do, it's heartbreaking.  But God is a healing God, by Jesus's blood she will be healed!  She will use that hand to heal others and to bring them blessings!

 

 

Thank you for visiting will be writing more often!

Following John Maxwell's Rule of Five

A friend of mine posted something very inspiration but like the saying goes "People remember how you make them feel" I totally forgot what the message said BUT I remember how it made me feel.  The message made me feel empowered!

So I decided to look into this John Maxwell person. 

POW!!

This is what I found "John Maxwell's Rule of Five"

It was the best hour of my life!!  Here are his Rule of Five:

• Lead – We lead ourselves and our business to fulfill our purpose.
• Grow – We grow ourselves and our business to achieve our potential.
• Create – We create world-class leadership resources and experiences.
• Excel – We chase excellence in all we do.
• Serve – We serve our clients, colleagues and community

John stated he does the following every day since he was 17:

1. Every day I read.
2. Every day I file.
3. Every day I ask questions.
4. Every day I think.
5. Every day I write.

The part that resonated with me is that in order to be an expert of any subject I have to read about it for one hour a day.  In about five years, I will be an expert.

What do I want to be an expert on?  Real Estate.  From land, to construction, to buying, to selling, to wholesale, to leasing, etc.  I should be an expert on multi-family real estate but even though I have worked in this industry for seven years, I am not passionate about it and I should be.  Better yet, I will be!

I am in the search for my own Rule of Five.  Do you know what your Rule of Five are?
