Business Owners MUST Be Fearless

Shining YOUR light

It is a tragedy that so many people let their “FEAR” overwhelm them. I for one do not like flying on airplanes. I get sick to my stomach just thinking about it.

This “FEAR” though can not be allowed to over-power your dreams, your destiny.

The best way for you to defeat FEAR, is to shine a bright light on it. Hmm you may ask, “Okay, how do I do that?’

Educated confidence is the “light” that will help us reach our goals. I have taught many very talented people that were  in need of CONFIDENCE. We seek confidence in our abilities. Education is one of the keys that will turn on YOUR light. I know, that I know kinda thing. When you know what you do works, the FEAR is diminished.

Attending educational conferences helped me to not only learn more about my craft but it also is energizing to my spirit to be surrounded by so many talented people who too had overcome their “FEAR”.  It doesn’t matter what profession you are in, those “Captains” of your industry were also afraid.

Surround yourself with positive influences that will help you to turn on the “LIGHTS”. Refuse to let “FEAR” stop you! I know that stepping on that plane in January for the DSA’s Americas Mart is going to have my tummy turning but I am choosing to go after my dreams and to not allow the “FEAR” to take over.

“Turn on YOUR lights….follow that dream with an unwavering passion!”

Fall Decorating Ideas

Can you believe it…..where did Summer go! Wow it’s that time of year again.

On my travels last week I came upon some interesting Fall Decorating ideas.

We have stencils for walls now so why not “word-Art” for punpkins?

Felt "Word-Art"

This display was outside a local eatery.

If you are Staging a property and looking for an interesting way to add some “spice” to your Curb Appeal, this is a great idea.

Creative Curb Appeal

This little wood barrel has it’s wooden lid still attached. Just fill the top with colorful Gourds and small mini pumpkins.

Have you seen any interesting ideas for Fall decorating?

A Tour of Hauntingly Beautiful Homes

 

As we look forward to decorating our homes for Halloween, perhaps a look at a few wickedly wonderful homes will inspire us!

It is said that these homes have visitors, of the GHOSTLY nature.

Let’s take the Home GHOST tour together…..

Home #1-

Ohio's Governor's Mansion

 

The Ohio Governors Mansion

There is said to be a female active spirit who has taken an interest in the mansion’s decor and renovation / maintenance work done throughout the years.

She has been known to take pictures off walls she didn’t like.

She appeared in full form in front of a staff member/ employee and spoke to this person, expressing how happy she was with the renovations being done on the mansion. Perhaps she was the Decorator!

House #2

Griffins protect your home

B.P. Waggener House

The Atchison Daily Globe says that the “current owners – Paul and Marsha Adair – say that the figures are not gargoyles, but griffins that watch over the house.”

House #3

The Harry Packer Mansion

This home in Jim Thorpe Pa. was the inspiration for Disney’s Haunted Mansion.

Captain Nathaniel Lord's Mansion

Captain Nathaniel Lord Mansion Maine

Captain Nathaniel Lord, who had made his money through the fruits of his shipyards in Kennebunkport, built this fine mansion in 1812, but died before he could move into it. The Lord family lived in this lovely mansion until 1972, when it became a boarding house for older / elderly women. In 1978, the mansion was remodeled into a Bed and Breakfast Inn.
