Being Unprepared is Like Swimming Without Water Showing up without proper planning is a poor work ethic in the making. It's also irresponsible. Consumers depend on professionals every day to help guide them to solid decisions while achieving sales goals.  Can you imagine if everyone in the business arena showed up to work but were not ready, willing or able to perform? Filling out paperwork, determining wants and needs, discussing every minute detail, including time-lines, terms and conditions matter. Good communication and follow through is expected by clients. To avoid unintended consequences, it's imperative to: Meet all deadlines within the REPC  Represent well the buy/sell side of a transaction Practice consistent cooperation with everyone involved  Distractions tend to pull attent... 01/19/2022

Prepare for the fallout. While growing up, many adults offered good advice like, “Do not wake up the sleeping bear." “Don’t poke a hornet’s nest.” Or “Let the sleeping dog lie.” "Don't shake a burdened tree." All for good reason. Conversations on social media platforms create an opportunity to share information between one another, to catch up, to teach, to learn and grow.

He contentedly purrs as I massage his thick, silky fur, scratching behind the ears and top of the head. He reaches out a paw when he wants more. In return, he lets me know that he truly appreciates the attention in the form of kneading, using his front paws to squeeze and massage into the soft blanket. For cat's, kneading is a sign of affection, comfort and contentment. Slinky the Cat kneads me, er, I mean needs me! Okayyyy, I need and love him too. LOL Happy Caturday all, hope you have a purrfectly wonderful day! 01/22/2022

A Southern Utah Public Display! Oh look, nature is making an overly emotional and dramatic public display to get everyone's attention...again! One of my favorite things is to witness twice daily light shows in the St. George, Utah area. Besides, a brilliant sunrise is a fantastic start to the day!  01/18/2022
