In my endeavors to help people buy, sell and finance homes, I see many financial profiles ranging from families that struggle to others that have stability and others that have huge success. One differentiating factor is their commitment, focus and discipline to these three fundamental investment principles.

Please don't take this as formal financial advice as I am not formally trained in this area. Although I do have a MBA in finance from NYU, see a huge array of clients personal finances and do have some life experience that I can draw on, make sure you consult a financial advisor to find out what path is best for your situation.

Those who have called and went to my voicemail know that I end my recording by saying, "Make it a Great Day!”

That statement seems to become mundane sometimes--like saying, “I love you” without thinking.  However, this morning I was very conscious about making it a great day. It got me thinking, "What makes a day great?"

After working long hours over the last 2-3 months I finally get some Recovery Time. It seems that every moment has been absorbed with helping clients buy, sell and finance homes. So, having a partial day off with no Results time is cherished.

My coach, Joe Stumpf, is the owner of By Referral Only, a company that helps realtors in their business and their lives. Joe breaks time into 3 categories –Results, Remodel and Recovery. Ideally, I’d schedule these times myself, but in the Real Estate and Mortgage Broker business, our times are scheduled by the client’s needs. Virtually all my time is spent in Results time, but for a successful business, it is critical to find time for Remodel and Recovery. 

Gary Vaynerchuk is a thought leader in social media and is truly crushing it with his ability to consistently connect with his audience online. His success is based on his keen insight into the changing dynamics of the impact of social media and his straightforward personality that just says things how they are.

For those who aren't familiar with Gary Vaynerchuk, or Gary V as he is commonly know, he grew his family liquor store to a multimillion dollar online business.
