"You must get good at one of two things: sowing in the spring or begging in the fall." Jim Rohn (R.I.P)
"The strength of Lela lies in the ability to respond, able to
assess a situation quickly, and prepared to act independently of
others to solve problems that may arise. She has a relatively
outgoing and friendly approach to people, but is also sensitive in relation to
other's needs. She likes new ideas and experiences, and are able to
be inventive if the situation requires it." K.R.
By the way, why is that immigrants to the United States succeed and become self-made millionaires at four times the rate of native-born Americans on a per-capita basis? and the simplest reason of all, aside from the fact that they had to have more ambition to leave their home to come here, is that they come here with a blank slate...is they come here, and they say, "Now, I'm starting all over from nothing." Many of them come here penniless, with no friends, no contacts, no ability to speak English. They have no education. They have no background. they start with nothing but a blank slate. and what they do is they say, "Now, I'm in the land of dreams. What is my dream?" (Brian Tracy). Does this resonate with you? it does with me! Now what is your dream?

How I Work
I will work to keep myself informed in the most advanced methods of alleviating the customer’s needs. I joined the real estate industry as a result of my dedication to people who love to achieve their goal in life. I put the interests of my customers first, and the result is leading me to my true place in life.
My enthusiasm wants me to know all there is available about this field. If possible I want to know about it more than anybody else and desire to serve my customers and clients. I work not only to my success but to the success that benefits all parties involve. The path of a complete circuit must be formed.
I have gathered talents, experience, and wisdom through years of experience in the market place of life… I can do all things thru intelligent thinking that strengthens me. Wealth and success is coming to me, health is mine, and I believe to be successful, lucky, prosperous and spiritual. I have peace in mind and heart that’s why I am successful... I serve one God and one humanity.
Infinite intelligence attracts to me the buyer or the seller who wants it and prospers in it. It is the right buyer, right time and right price. I am here to serve the humanity and reveal more and more the God’s wisdom, truth, beauty to all people in the world. My gray hair stands for wisdom, skill, and understanding. My emotional and spiritual maturity is a tremendous blessing to any organization.
I will give increase of life to others and make them sensible of this gift. They will be attracted to me and I will get rich. I will inspire the children with the faith and purpose of the advancing life.
One last note...
I know you have some important things that you want to accomplish. After talking to you on the phone, I believe I can help you and I need to ask you a few thought-provoking questions.
As I listen to your answers if I don't think I am the right consultant/agent to serve you I will let you know immediately. Fair enough?
Also, I will show you how I work. As you listen, if you don't think you're the right client for my consulting services, please feel free to let me know. Fair enough?
My opinion is if you feel that it is for your benefit, both financially and life style, you will probably end up working with me. It has to be mutually beneficial. Fair enough?
As a Coldwell Banker agent learn more why this will benefit you.
Enjoy this endorsement I recieved about the Bob Proctor Programs:
Bob & Carol,
I wanted to take the time to acknowledge one of your coaching students, who has been extremely supportive of your programs and very encouraging of others to participate, as she is enjoying such great benefits herself. Her name is : LeLa Ashkarian
I first met Lela, in Atlanta, Ga, at the Claim You Power - Hosted by Vic Johnson. I have to admit I really was not that familiar with the Bob Proctor Programs. Lela made a believer out of me and I signed up for the year long coaching, I also gave the program to my husband as a birthday gift. So we are participating as a couple. What an experience for us to share!!!
Lela is the one who encouraged me and gave me the insight as to what this program had to offer and what the personal benefits would be, if you follow through and stay committed. Again, Lela has stepped to the plate to stay in touch with me and be a supporter and a fan continually reaffirming, this works and also passing along wonderful suggestions and things that are working for her and the MM Group which she is apart of. I have taken her suggestions and passed them along to the MM Group, which I am a member (egroup 241) therefore another group of MM Membersare being supported and touched by Lela's caring and supportive ways.
I am blessed and grateful that Lela has been attracted into my life and I hold her and her knowledge in the highest regards, and I am so thankful that she so freely shares her knowledge and experiences with me, as well as other members of your coaching program.
Your Company has an asset, in Lela. I wanted to share my appreciation for LeLa with you, because she has been a teacher, a supporter and most of all for her gifts of giving and sharing. She has touched and blessed, many, many of your coaching students lives, in a way, it will be difficult for us to repay her.
My starting point to repay, is to let each of you know what she has done for Tommy and myself, as well as the members of MM Group 241.
With Love, Gratitude and Appreciation -Ruth Murphy - MM Group 241

Time to Move >Advantages of Buying Down
Your youngest child has just left home! Your present house now seems enormous. Your "empty nest" has prompted thoughts of selling your home and moving to a smaller, more manageable house.
Before you make a move, you should consult two important professionals--your real estate agent and your tax planner. A good real estate agent will be able to tell you the value of your current home and the availability of alternative houses in your preferred area.
Buying a smaller home or condo can have important advantages, such as lowering your property taxes, simplifying property maintenance, and generating cash which can be put into income-producing investments. You will also want to consider the tax laws which allow capital gain exclusions whether you "buy up" to a more expensive home or "buy down" to a less expensive one. If you are moving downtown from the suburbs in order to be close to cultural centers, theaters and restaurants, there may be "quality of life" issues, such as noise or parking. Your real estate agent and your tax planner can provide valuable information to assist you in making such decisions.
