Are you worried? Turn off the news…

Here's the thing: when you have 24-hour news slots to fill, you have to fill them. And what has proven to draw viewers, more than anything else, is negative, sensationalized news. We all know that - and yet - we all play into it by watching. Ick. So, yes, the economy is not what we hope. But how many different news segments do we need to hear/watch filled with doom and gloom to get the picture? Housing - whether your area had a bubble or not - has faced record trouble, but in many parts of the country, things are starting to stabilize. At my company, Real Living, we are based in the heart of the heartland - Ohio. And here, like other areas of the country without the extreme highs, buyers are coming back into the market. You don't really hear about that though. [...]

Laugh a little, why don’t you?

Let’s face it, business can be tough, but don’t let that get your spirits down. When your enthusiasm falls, your team starts to feel it, too. So learn to laugh a little. Did you know that pre-school children laugh up to 400 times a day? But by adulthood, we laugh a measly 17 times a day, on average. Let’s take a lesson from our children. Think of the funniest thing that’s happened in a long time. Did you smile? That always works for me. Now, make it habit and go out there and have some fun! Do you have a funny story? What makes you laugh? Leave me a comment! For more fun stuff, visit my site.

I just returned from the Real Estate Connect conference in New York and there were some very depressing economists there. As you no doubt have surmised, the housing market is in a recession. There is a wave of sadness, despair and fear crashing down on those directly involved in the industry: real estate agents, brokers, lenders and the like. And for good reason. There are 10 month plus inventories in markets across the country. Everyone seems to have stopped buying and selling homes. So, that was the gist of the conference and then I was on a technology panel. My message? Not so much about the next technology killer app - sure there are exciting things appearing daily. But mostly, my message was about getting real. When times are tough it's more important than ever to make sure you still have passion for the business [...]

While all the self-help gurus on the morning television shows and such are touting new year resolutions and fixes, will that make a new you, really? Get organized! Get working out! Get on a diet.

When a choice or New Year's Resolution fits the Real You. So don't panic, don't despair, don't feel guilty when you read or watch something about a new you. You're looking for the Real You to put in your life and business. Visit http://RealYouIncorporated.com for more, or better yet, pre-order the book today for a great kick-start for your new, real year.
