For several decades I have used one hundred day blocks of time for increasing my business (working on my fortune). I can conveniently fit three 100 Day Attacks into a year, allowing some time for planning and evaluation, and taking into account the weather. I begin my next one tomorrow. I have al...

My introspection at the end of this month has indicated that, in ActiveRain, alone, I will have read over 3,000 posts for January - posts with opinions, posts with business information, educational (for me) articles, information on localities that would take me years to visit.

This has been my private time, my planning time, my evaluation time, my gratitude time, my affirmations time, my goal time. Without such time, I would each day face the mountain with a shov...

A well told story, the movie covered the life of "Big Red" from anticipated birth to the winning of the last race of the Triple Crown (outstanding time and winning margin of 31 lengths). I was with my late father,(at a hospita...

Soliloquy on Short Sales Short sales have been around for quite a while, and will be a feature of distressed sales into the foreseeable future. They are prevalent more in some areas than in others. Education and experience for realtors have been around for nearly as long. I have been in groups of...
