Clarity is so critical in setting your intentions. Once you are clear, you can make a commitment to yourself to do it. Setting your intentions is about understanding what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, and how you’re going to do it. “Clarity accounts for probably 80% of success and happiness. Lack of clarity is probably more responsible for frustration and underachievement than any other single factor. Your success in life will be largely determined by how clear you are about what it is you really, really want.” – Brian Tracy Use the Intentions Map to set your key focus... Read more →

Now the data is supporting that theory. Coronavirus... Read more →


Many American businesses have been put on hold as the country deals with the worst pandemic in over one hundred years. As the states are deciding on the best strategy to slowly and safely reopen, the big question is: how long will it take the economy to fully recover? Let’s look at the possibilities. Here are the three types of recoveries that follow most economic slowdowns (the definitions are from the financial glossary at Market Business News): V-shaped recovery: an economic period in which the economy experiences a sharp decline. However, it is also a brief period of decline. There... Read more →


There are two crises in this country right now: a health crisis that has forced everyone into their homes and a financial crisis caused by our inability to move around as we normally would. Over 20 million people in the U.S. became instantly unemployed when it was determined that the only way to defeat this horrific virus was to shut down businesses across the nation.

As a real estate coach, trainer and blogger, at the beginning of every year I share the practice of “Celebrating Your Past Year’s Successes” and then setting your intentions and goals for the New Year. I have never been a fan of “New Year’s Resolutions” which I find to be well intentioned but not effective. Consider how fitness centers are always crowded in January only to be back to the regular membership level by February. As 2019 ends, we are standing at the dawn of a new decade… the 2020s! I am inspired and excited about making this the best... Read more →
