Beau-ti-FULL Morning!
Waking up feeling so alive! All I want to do is run away to a beautiful place alone, where no one or no thing can break my stride! I'm in love with life! I'm thankful for the first ray of sun that hit my face this morning! Thankful for the amazing friends I have in my life to share every waking moment with me. Nothing like listening to amazing music first thing in the morning.

You've got to believe
Achieving success in life can be hard. Achieving success in real estate is even harder. It certainly will be a little bit easier if you have people supporting you, who believe in you and will do whatever they can to help you attain the levels of success you aspire to reach.
Regardless of how many people you may have "on your team" or "in your corner," there is one person who MUST be supporting your efforts, 100% committed to the plan and doing everything he or she can do, day in and day out to work towards being the best. That person is Y-O-U!
We may look at customers and clients through rose-colored glasses sometimes, thinking that what ever we tell them, that they will listen to us. Now don't get me wrong, when you provide truly remarkable service to your clients they will tell others about their experience and the word of mouth and personal referrals will continue to keep you busy. Earning trust through a positive reputation and increased word of mouth is one of the most powerful marketing tools you will ever find but you must understand that when customers or clients listen to you, they will be looking deeper than the meaning of your words. As they are deciding whether or not to believe you, they are trying to determine if you believe in yourself.
Try telling someone you're the "greatest Realtor" or "greatest (insert something here)" and chances are you won't be able to say it with a straight face. Now think back to the late 70's when Muhammed Ali bellowed "I am The Greatest." There wasn't many humans who ever doubted him, were there? He believed it so much, he made those around him (and even those silly enough to climb into the ring and fight him) believe it too.
Self confidence is difficult to teach and it usually can only be learned through experience. It's like the quote from Barry LePatner that stated "good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment."
I don't think it is any surprise that the more experience a Realtor has, the more confidence and self-trust they have in themselves. Your scripts and dialogues don't sound canned, your comfort with contracts and paperwork is obvious and your demeanor and calmness during negotiations is worth it's weight in gold.
Getting Your "Belief Training" from a Train?
Go back before you were in real estate, before college or even high school. When you think back to your early childhood, do you remember a story that most parents have read to their children called The Little Engine That Could?
As simple as the story is, it is exactly what I am talking about in this post. When you believe in yourself, you can push yourself even farther than you ever imagined, you can do things that others couldn't, you can truly affect people's lives through your efforts.
"I think I can, I think I can, I think I can."
It's an easy-to-remember affirmation that can be used anytime you find yourself face-to-face with fear, adversity or challenge.
"I think I can, I think I can, I think I can."
To truly succeed in sales, the first sales pitch you must make is to yourself.
Once you believe in yourself, why wouldn't your customers and clients?

Google Me
Ever Google images of yourself? I did and these were the first 5 pictures that were found.
None of which are actually me. LOL

I do not hide the fact that I am a Boston Celtics Fan! I *heart* them! Honestly I do not know where my love for them came from, I basically learned about the sport, from an ex boyfriend, picked a random team - ran with it all season long! And then the won the Championship and I was like this is MY team!
I love them all!
But my future ex is Rajon Rondo, he just doesn't know it yet.

The Power of Positivity
Rhonda Byrne has come out with 2 AMAZING books; 1 of which has the ULTIMATE Dvd, for anyones collection.
I highly recommend everyone read "The Secret" & "The Power." Also go out and by the documentary movie, "The Secret."
I promise, you won't regret it!
Weekends a Bust
What an eventful weekend! Brain storming on my next endeavor - got me feeling excited! Planning a trip home, to visit family is long overdue and it remains only a few months away.
Now it's Sunday afternoon, the sun is setting and I've got no drama to deal with =) Friends are all off working hard, to make something of themselves in 2011.
Life is awesome! Sometimes you get handed a trial, you choose whether you will face it, or run from it. But never let it get you down!

Yay! No PR 2011!
So it's been an interesting week filled with a lot of God's tests on my soul. However I'm coming out smiling! Never have I been so thrilled to not have an obligation to the Kauai Board of Realtors. With Tracy being the new chair for PR I have hope that the committee will come up with some new and exciting ideas.
To the fellow seasoned committee members that I regretfully must leave, don't be afraid of change, and at the same time don't be afraid of conflict. You never rise to the top without having enemies.
"The greatest ignorance is to reject something you know nothing about."
As I was completing this blog, I received a call, people are unable to put their differences aside, and now, due to my actions, I feel, a KBR office member, was removed from the PR committee.
Less stress for us, in 2011! Yes it's hard to sit back and watch PR be handled completely different, however this is what is needed at times to improve the individual committees.
Never give up who you are to make someone feel better about themselves. So although this week was rough, it's going out smooth! And I'm relieved!
"I am grateful for my day
I am brilliant I am wonderful
I will sleep well
I look forward to tomorrow
I am grateful for my day"
