Zoom Call 9.12.23  Katerina Gasset Outsourcing to Elevate your BusinessThe Zoom call this week was presented by Katerina Gasset, and she, again offered her pearls on making real estate easier to manage.Real estate agents that find themselves busy will often have issues with not being able to complete all of their work on time and losing sleep and rest time because of the load they carry. The realities of the load may cause one to consider hiring an administrative assistant to do the busy work and allow the agent to actually work the business. This again causes one to consider the dynamics of having an admin, and seek alternative ways to get the work done, inexpensively.Working in a virtual business, brings up options that are less costly than the options that were available when busines...

How could everything be so right and then like a bolt of lightning everything changes? Today is Wednesday, September 13, 2023. Wednesday is for Wonder Mongering. This photograph was recently taken from my window seat flying on United. Today's blog post is dedicated to anyone wonder mongering about why strange things happen causing others to seek clarity to the problem-solving process after somebody does something stupid to change the course of good. My colleagues and I are used to problem-solving when it comes to the real estate business. We can appreciate consulting with our clients about the value of doing things the right way by making corrections, modifications, or changes when needed. Taking responsibility is expected behavior. Flying in the sky can be so peaceful. For me, I do a l...

One thing for sure we have plenty of dining choices in The Villages, Florida.  What I like are then dining choices a 5-minute golf cart ride from my home and we have plenty of them.  The Tierra Del Sol Bar & Grill is one of them only 1.2 miles away.  One of the great things about The Villages is the country clubs have restaurants and bars and are mostly tucked away in neighborhoods.  Golf course living is important in The Villages as homes line the courses.  Where there are golf courses there are country clubs and where there are country clubs there are bars and restaurants.Love this are of The Villages with it’s mature landscaping tall oak trees and a little bit of rolling hills.  The championship course and a nearby executive course make it a great place for a cold beverage after fini...

Back in the day, I used to audition (a lot!) . . . many radio stations, commercials, even worked on a couple of movies.When you are in a casting call, everyone LOVES to brag about 'what they have coming up' or what they recently did.MOST of those 'stories' turned out to be 'fake news' designed to erode the confidence of the 'competition' . . .Real estate has LOTS of 'arm wavers' showing off pretty much everywhere. Just open your social media, LOL Tune out the noise, and stay your course.F Scott Fitzgerald famously wrote in a letter to his daughter Scottie at camp a list of things for her to worry, and NOT worry about.Two stick out in my mind a lot . . ."Don't worry about anyone getting ahead of you"and"Things to think about:What am I really aiming at?"Last word: Find things to celebrate...
