Quotes of the Day

Writing offers is the difference between successful investors and excuse-laden pretenders. If the offer is rejected outright, then you know you haven't found the motivated vendor you're looking for; remember, dealing only with motivated vendors is absolutely critical. By receiving an outright rejection, you have just saved yourself substantial time, energy and money because there is no use putting any further effort into this property until the vendor is motivated. You may return in a few months when the vendor's motivation level has increased, but today is not the day for a deal, so move on to the next one. [2009] - Don R. Campbell

The Law of Subconscious activity: Your subconscious mind accepts any thought, plan, or goal created by the conscious mind and then organizes your thoughts and behaviors to bring that goal into reality. [2004] - Brian Tracy

Bond yields more likely stay extremely low for a long time to come, and possibly go even lower I believe that low interest rates are mainly the result of an aging population, not the Great Recession and not COVID-19. Having more people who are over age 50 changes the balance of supply and demand for money, since older people tend to be savers rather than borrowers. Our ratio of older to younger people now is very similar to what it was in Japan 20 years ago. Interest rates there 20 years ago were about the same as ours are today, and their rates have hovered near zero ever sine. [2020] - Frederick Vettese

Making Great First Impressions: Always stand in a reception area - never sit. Stand with Hand-in-Hand behind your back (confidence) and slowly rock back and forth on your feet (confident, controlled) or use the Steeple gesture (but never do this at the Tax Office). Put down your briefcase, folder or whatever is in your hands, shake the person's hand and immediately take a seat. Never shake directly across a desk. Use a person's name twice in the first 15 seconds and never talk for more than 30 seconds at a time. If the door was closed when you entered, close it behind you as you leave. If you're a man, make sure you have shined the back of your shoes. [2004] - Allan Pease

Tai chi, chi gung, and hatha yoga are all moving meditations. [2007] - Mark Williams
