Get Organized to Sell Your Home


Increase your chances of selling your home quickly with this eight step solution:

1.  Ask a friend to help you de-clutter.  You're probably so used to your clutter that you don't see it anymore.  Ask an objective friend to help you pack up anything cluttering your home.

2.  Clear off countertops in the kitchen.  Think model home sparseness.  Display only a couple of decorative items or a plant.  Hide the trash can in a cabinet.  Clean off the refrigerator.

3.  Remove all photographs.  Buyers want to imagine living in your house.  That's hard to do with a wall filled with Aunt Martha and Little Johnny.

4.  Clean out your closets.  Make them look spacious even if you have to pack most of your clothing and store it elsewhere.

5.  Depersonalize your bathroom(s).  No matter how cute your toothbrush holder is, seeing someone's personal items is a turnoff.  Put them in a container and hide it under the sink.

6.  Pack knicknacks.  Buyers want to dream of their collections filling the rooms, not yours.

7.  Rearrange furniture to open up the space.  Remove most items from bookshelves to visually expand the space.

8.  De-clutter your yard.  Remove toys, empty flower pots, and anything that does not enhance your curb appeal.

What do you call a Strong Woman? "Who's Back Do You Stand On"             A sister, mother, aunt, cousin, business owner, nurse, doctor, housewife, nanny, and so many many other names.  Do you know who came before you to pave the way so that you wouldn't have to go through drama of being told your just a woman and you ain't capable of being a success.  Tell me who's back do you stand on is it the mother or grandmother that stood in the gap for you.  The one who took the verbal abuse or physical abuse so that you wouldn't have to.  Or is it the woman who deserve to be the CEO of the company but took the back seat to the man that wasn't even half as qualified as she was to hold the CEO position.  Who's back do you stand on? The woman who's the housewife that never gets credit for raising our future President.  Maybe, it the little old lady that welcomes you to the Wal-Mart and she has to be there because that's her only choose.  Could it be

Networking vs. Social Climbing

What's the Difference Between Networking and Social Climbing? This is just my opinion, but there's not a lot of difference in the two.  Both take you out of your comfort zone and you have to talk to individuals you have never met, but if you do your introduction correctly then you aren't a social climber you are now a networker.  You may say that this fact isn't true, but I beg to differ with that.  People think a social climber should never be let into the elite circle of friends, but if that some person is networking then the elite will gladly welcome that same person into there circle because now this same person is worthy.  So, you see there's always a way of going up the social ladder without it being a negative in life.....
