How to Stay Positive in a Negative World
We all know of someone who is less fortunate than we are, but what is encouraging, is that we also know people that are more fortunate than we are. This gives me hope and drive to keep going.

Being Forced to be Better
How to Stay Positive in a Negative World
I am being forced to be more creative, make better decisions and run a better company. I will be a better person because of these times we are in now.

Two Months in a Row
How to Stay Positive in a Negative World
The Market went up yesterday, the media is calling Obama’s address last night, “a speech of hope”, the housing sales numbers come out today and it looks like it may be up for two months in a row.

Winning Against My Parents!
How to Stay Positive in a Negative World
We all remember growing up wanting to win some type of competition against our parents. For me, it was when I beat my Dad in wrestling. I knew from a young age that I wanted to beat my Dad. In all of my dreams, I never thought that I would want to beat my Mom at cooking. This past weekend I did, with my Oatmeal Cookies! Now that’s something to be positive about.

Doing the Right Thing
How to Stay Positive in a Negative World
Over the weekend I had more than one occurrence of “doing the right thing”. The old saying “What goes around, comes around” is true. Sometimes it takes a while, but it will happen. I am going to continue to follow my instinct and my heart, and know that I am “doing the right thing”.

iPod Playlist
How to Stay Positive in a Negative World
Yesterday I was in the car driving quite a bit, and I ended up turning on the news. What was I thinking? Two things occurred though, first I heard that real estate sales went up 1% in January, and second I created on my iPod a Playlist titled Motivation. My commute to work is 12 minutes, and I have music that I play that gets me all jacked up for the day. I will play this not just on my way to work, but also when I’m feeling down.

It's My Choice
How to Stay Positive in a Negative World
One thing I know for sure is that whether I’ve had a bad day or good, whether I am positive or negative, the sun will go down on this day and come up tomorrow. My choice is how I choose to live each day. Positive does not mean putting my head in the sand, it just means how I treat people and how I look at life and my work.

Our Mission
How to Stay Positive in a Negative World
Our Leads that we have received this year are 11% higher, and our Sales are 25% higher than last year at this time. We are finding people that do want our products and services. The difference this year is that they want value at a reduced price. Our mission is to figure out a way to deliver on this expectation.
I must believe that the economy though slower, still must carry on. Goods and Services still must be sold. Developing a Plan to capture our share of that economy is the challenge, that I am up for!

Fear's Danger
How to Stay Positive in a Negative World
Franklin Roosevelt’s famous speech stated that “all we have to fear is fear itself.”
I can live in fear, that is true, but I cannot succeed in fear.

Face of a Child
How to Stay Positive in a Negative World
When looking into the face of a child, you see only joy, not fear. I will live today with joy in my heart.
