Thoughts

I have started to read a new book it is called "The One Minute Closer", by James Pickens. As you can imagine what the book is about "Master Closers & Business", however it is talks about so much more than that. Here are a few thoughts from the author, he speaks about two major problems with selling strategies, 1.) is not holding onto your "can do" attitude, and the other is pre-judging people and not realizing we might have something to learn from that individual if we only listened. He quotes "Man judges you by your actions, but God judges you by your intentions." POWERFUL! Here is a couple of saying I believe everyone should know: "In life, good judgement usually comes from past experiences. Unfortunately, most past experiences come from bad judgement."  "I would rather dream, try, and risk all than just survive and regret."  "I fight to believe in myself, even when others have given up on me."  "People dont make themselves great, what makes people great is the cause they believe in."  "When there is no real enemy within me, then any enemy that is found outside will not ever hurt me."

I hope these words of encouragement bring a smile to some faces and confidence to others, I hope you are all doing very well. Please let me know if I can help any of you in any way! I might be up to Indiana for a trip, my tenants have both lost there positions and this is the second time they are late!

Remember to smile, keep a positive attitude, focus, believe in yourself, and trust God!

Finally


Hey guys I hope everyone had a great time over the holidays, I spent some time with the family, friends, and the dog! I have been doing well here, I am currently looking for a part time job here in Asheville, until we get this company off of the ground. We have our first home show in March, so I am really excited about that! I am sure you guys are wondering what exactly is rainwater harvesting? The short sweet and simple of it is, you collect rainwater during a rainfall through means of a collection point (roof) and the conveyence system (gutters), filter it through carbon filter,s UV lights, and vortext filters, and then store it into a above ground or below ground cistern. It is a really neat concept, we have come along way since rain barrels! 

I visited a new church this past Sunday, I am trying to find one like FCC! The one I visited was a non-denominational church (interesting) with co-pastors a man and his wife? What do you guys think about that? I know it is not biblical, my what are your thoughts and concerns? I will stop talking now!

This a great way to keep up with each other, this site should be pretty easy to manage and navigate, I think it would be easier if you guys "followed" this blog right here on the right>>> All you have to do is post your comment and add your own story or questions! Let me know if this is working!
