"Lela's writing and her profoundly moving experiences make this an awesome, inspiring book to read and re-read. She is a very brave lady willing to learn, love, and move on to help others and improve herself." --Brenda Robinson, Potent Pen, Boynton Beach, Florida. 

Dear Lela, "I just spent a couple of hours reading your book. It made for a very thought provoking stormy afternoon with my puppy. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to write your book. Albeit, I have not lived in a war zone. I have certainly lived through times where I have questioned my faith. I have learned much and grown from those times. Your book allowed me to think of some things in a different way as well as reinforced many of my thoughts. I have a copy of Kahlil Gibran's book "The Prophet" and saw you quoted him early in your book. I remember the first time I read "The Prophet" and have always thought of Kahlil Gibran as a wonderful philosopher and a man who was way ahead of his time. Your philosophies on life come thru when people meet you, as your energy and love for life was abundantly clear when I met you.

The Crossing captures the essence of a young woman on the brink of disaster yet imbued with determination to more than survive, to thrive. From the embattled shores of Lebanon to the palm-studded beaches of Key West, Lela Ashkarian weaves a fascinating and inspiring story of courage, ambition, and transformation. The title symbolizes many successful crossings in her life—spiritual, emotional, financial, and physical—affording the reader an opportunity for self-examination in the mirror of her amazing life.
Here are some of the lessons in “The Crossing” as it relates to how I approach helping my clients buy or sell a house. 

Impression of Increase: 

I make sure when I am heading out to meet people, I put the impression of increase in their life. Whether I get paid or not by that particular person, I will do the best that I know how to do to help. The universe works in a different, supernatural way; you might not get this person to buy a house, but he or she might refer you to someone who will buy one. 

When you influence people with the idea of increase, they will become interested and attracted to you. To do business in a certain way every day, whether by phone, email, face to face, or through the Internet, the key element is to give the impression of increase. Show them the benefits, not the features. If you want to increase any part of your life, there is no good or bad, as this power, the thought, the energy goes into your mind. You can feel other people. They feel good about when you make them feel special. They will buy your service, and you will increase your production. 

When you change your attitude about increase, everything will change. I can see nothing but the best, and I resonate with them. I really understand their needs, wants, desires, and I explain my role, how we will work together to achieve a mutually beneficial goal. Desire of increase in humanity is inherent when you are in harmony with the universe. When we connect with nature, we realize an increase. 

I have learned also be empathetic, intentionally giving attention and listening to my clients’ needs. This has elevated me and separated me from the crowd. Again, it is simple, but not easy to laser focus on someone else’s needs, wants, and desires, because you need to be disciplined, devoted, committed, honest, humorous, loving, caring, detail oriented, and knowledgeable. People will trust you and you will become their trusted advisor. Zig Ziglar once said, “When you give people what they want, you will get what you want.”  

This little boy touched my heart, he will touch yours too. Dalton "Do you Believe in me?" famous clip watch this:

Hi Natalie, 

Lela Ashkarian may be one of the persons you search for. 

I have learned to know this remarkable woman in a mastermind group for the last four years. 

She is not only very competent, she is a highly moral principled person. 

Here is the link to Amazon and her book, “The Crossing” 

http://www.amazon.com/Crossing-Lela-Ashkarian/product-reviews/1600473075/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1 

She grew up in the Beeka valley in Lebanon, today she is one of the most successful real estate consultants in Florida.

This is not one of the constructed stories of a success guru, this is a real story of a great woman’s life adventure, still going on.
