    The Secret to Real Estate Success We've almost reached the midpoint of the year, a time at which we should be able to look back briefly and determine whether or not what we set out to achieve at the beginning of the year is actually being accomplished. For a fair number of us, that look back will concern us, because we are not achieving our goals. And if we believe that in some form or fashion the results we had hoped for will magically appear, well, that's not a very solid strategy. It's been said time and time again, and by many, if you keep doing what you're doing, you'll keep getting what you're getting. That's true to the point of those words becoming a cliche'. THE MOST…

Business, Motivation
Fear of Success By Rita Santamaria, Small Business Today Magazine May 2015 Signs of self-sabotaging your relationships and your business and personal goals are demonstrating your fears of success.

Perseverance is the difference between mediocrity and greatness.

Randy’s Blog | Luck: Where Preparation Meets Opportunity

Motivation
Luck: Where Preparation Meets Opportunity It's only fitting we consider the word 'luck' on St. Patrick's Day; you know, that "luck of the Irish" thing, and while I am not Irish, I guess I could say I believe in luck, and then again, I don't believe in luck depending upon how 'luck' is defined. And many of us confuse 'luck' with 'destiny.' But in that it is St. Patrick's Day, let's talk about luck. Webster defines luck as, "success or failure brought about by chance through one's own actions," and based on that definition, I believe in luck, because I believe that success, just like failure is a choice. Our choices result in consequences, we make choices, thereby we make things happen or not, and if we make good choices,…
