This is what I have been forced to do lately was to take inventory of my business and myself and decide what I need to do to continue to be sucessful. My ship was sinking and I could not keep up. We had some unexpected large expenses occur when my Brother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer and eventually lost the fight and passed away. He is in Central America where there is no health care assistance and insurance. We had to pay out of pocket!! This come at a time when home sales declined drastically to 500 to 600 per month for 4 months straight in a city population of 1,000,000 and 3000 Realtors. I had to cut expenses not necessary to live...including coaching sad to say...using my knowledge learnt and carrying forward. We are no longer up to our ears in water (debt) and are close to being able to mop the deck and set sail soon. Love your blogs and look forward to reading every Monday morning!! Motivational!!

It's yet another mind shift taking place in the minds of prudent Americans today. 2009 is the year to do what ever it takes to make as much money as you can and be as lean financially as possible. And, if can see things from a positive place, (for me I want to free up as much capital as possible to benefit from what will be the most incredible investment opportunities of our life times) cash in your hand is much more fun than spending it unconsciously. See you soon! Danny, thanks for this.

Making major changes. Looking at all expenses and time. Time is our most valuable resource. Without comparing our time to the cost of things we have no rationalization of what things are worth. I have started to do this little exercise. If I see something I want I always ask myself, "how much time is Guilty as well. Making major changes. Looking at all expenses and time.

I have cut way back on my expenses except the necessities to stay in the game. during the summer I drive a motorcycle for real estate and during the winter I drive a 76 ford pickup. I have a small house to call home with what I need to enjoy it as well as servive. I have a 66 camper for going camping with my family when we need a break and I can actually walk to work when I don't have appointments because I live only a mile from here. I'm working on my finances so that I don't have to keep putting business stuff on my credit cards and road trips are taken with friends so that the cost is cut down for everyone. Financially I'm running on empty but I have enough that I'm not going to starve or loose shelter. The rest is really just convenience anyway! Life goes on, it is just a matter of how we choose to view it. Hey Danny,
