You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore. I love that saying. I remind myself of it every single time I wonder if I should take a chance or step outside of my comfort zone. You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the sho...

Persistence is more important than talent. I will take someone who is a hard worker who does not make excuses any day of the week over someone who has a ton of talent. What is the saying? Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard? Yup. I think that is it (I didn’t even Google it!!!). I...

Like, the absolute best. Stand out from the crowd. Have your competition fear you. No matter what your job is...

Be thankful for what you have. Be fearless for what you want. Think about those two sentences when you get up today. Be thankful for what you have. Be fearless for what you want. I think that fear probably holds people back the most from reaching their full potential. If you really think about it...

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” – Friedrich Nietzsche I soooooooo love that saying. What does that mean to me? It means that sometimes you will hear things and see things which no one else will hear and no one else will see. You w...

Start before you are ready. Since my one brother is not on social media, I am safe to say this about him – when he wrestled he always waited for the perfect moment before shooting. My other brother (who is not on social media either), used to yell at him that the perfect moment to shoot would nev...

If you are talking to someone who does not have the funds for a down payment, always ask them if they can get a gfit from a family member. All of the down payment money needed on a Conventional loan or FHA loan can be gifted to the borrower (preferrably from a family member). Whether it is 5% dow...
