While knowledge of your speech or presentation is invaluable in public speaking, if you are unable to speak from your heart, then all your knowledge is for naught. The best in public speaking are those who are able to excite, captivate, and enthrall their listeners. And, none of those adjectives are possible if your heart is not involved in the process.Speaking from your heart means engaging your audience by means of your vocal...more
Your house is on the market and youre getting a few showings. Then you get the call from your listing agent saying: I just a call from another agent and their clients are going to submit and offer. YEA!!! That is great! The sellers and the listing agent are happy. Later that night the offer comes in and it is a decent offer, but unfortunately it is a contingent offer.

Obviously, when you start making changes in your lifestyle to make the world a better place, it's best to start in your immediate environment. This applies whether the changes you are making are related to spiritual matters, environmental matters, family matters or a combination of all three. Yes, it's good to make donations to support organisations dedicated to providing disaster relief, wiping out nasty tropical diseases or stopping the commercial hunting of whales, but we all need to start at home to make real change happen.But after you've got your own home sorted out with a first-class recycling system, a small patch of organic vegetables and you've finished using toxic cleaning products as much as possible, then what? Is this the time to start donating to those organisations and then considering your job of helping the world done?Well, not quite. Once you've got your own house in order, it's time to think about your wider community. No, not the global community.

Its no secret this is a bad selling market and that we are in a buyers market right now. Buyers are few and far between and the market is glutted with listings. If a house is not quite perfect for that buyers needs, they simply go to the next house.Buyers know they have the upper hand so when they find a house they like; we are seeing low offers, maybe $10K, $15K or $20K off the list price. When these low offers come in, we as REALTORs always hear things from the sellers like: We arent going to give it away, or Were offended by that offer, or We are not even going to respond to that offer.Selling your house is a business transaction. Getting emotional will hurt the process every time. You have had it on the market for months and you really need to sell so that you can move on with your life. Finally someone has liked your house enough to make an offer. Never let emotions keep you from responding with a counter-offer? Sellers should look at any buyer that has liked their house enough to make an offer, as someone who is willing to take a burden off of their shoulders allowing them to move on with their lives. Sellers should make every effort to work with the buyers to make it...more
