REAPs kicked off the 2010 workshops with John Burley teaching the January workshop. I was able to attend the workshop and enjoyed the day and have included a few notes I took during the day for those of you who were not able to attend.
Towards the end of the day John Burley took time to talk about the importance of Vision and Hope.
Vision – A precise, clearly defined goal with a detailed plan and time table for achieving that goal
Hope – A well-founded and confident belief that a specific vision (goal, desire or promise) will be achieved or fulfilled within a specific amount of time
Chat With Wendy Ceccherelli
Posted by: | CommentsMany of you may remember Wendy from the November 2008 REAPS meeting when she was one of the panelist sharing her latest deal in Leschi. Lately her smiling face can be found at the monthly REAPS meetings as an ambassador and membership coordinator.
Share a little of your background?
I spent 25 years as a government arts funder. I got started in real estate when I came to the Northwest and loved it here. Retirement was coming and I wanted options to be able to live anywhere.

Success Leaves Clues
Posted by: | CommentsAccording to the news, the talk around the water cooler or coffee, and anyone else looking to share their opinion, it can seem that the real estate market and investing is doomed. If that is what you want to believe then you will find problems and have difficulty in seeing opportunities around you. However, if you refuse to accept the gloom and doom you will be able to see the opportunities and successes taking place around you every day.
For the next year my mission will be to point out success stories from fellow REAP members. My grandfather taught me something when I was a teenager and I have come to believe it to be a fundamental success principle. Success Principle: Success leaves clues. Success is taking place every day by people and companies around you. They are not luckier or smarter than you and me. What they have is a plan based on what has worked for others, taking the correct actions on a daily basis, and know that success is possible amongst all the noise of failure, gloom, and doom.
Each week as I share the stories of fellow REAPS members you will see what they are doing, read what is working for them as well as what has not and what they do to keep themselves moving forward and motivated. Another Success Principle:
Knowledge + Attitudes + Skills + Habits = Success
I will keep this principle in mind as I meet and talk with members who are having success in what they are doing. You will see how they got started and what they are doing. You will get a glimpse into their attitudes and habits. If you are looking you will find ideas that you can use to improve yourself and your real estate business on your road to success. Take the time to spend time with those who see the possibilities and are not following the norm and you will start to see possibilities as well and find yourself changing your non-supportive habits. I truly believe that no matter where you are or what happened to you last year or in years past; you can make this year a better year. Check back often to see what others are doing and please leave your comments on what you find useful and your questions.
To Your Success,
Mitchy
