Stallion habit 92 - Learn to dance

Watching Brooke Burke win dancing with the stars was a great thing.

This program has made dancing incredible popular right now.

Also, Wii fit offers a dance program that can get you in shape quickly. It helps you with foot work and timing.

When I was in college, I took a social dance class. I learned how to do several dances. The one that I remember doing was the country swing.

Although country music isn't my first choice, I actually met my wife at a country dance. Because I had taken the class and knew how to do the country swing, I was able to develop a relationship with her that led to marriage.

In Idaho, there are lots of places you can dance if you would like to buy a home and move to the Idaho Falls area.

I look forward to helping you with all your real estate needs.

Thanks Burke Bennett

Stallion habit 91- Learn to dutch oven cook

One of the great things to do in SE Idaho is dutch oven cook.

There are quite a few classes offered locally how to do this skill.

You can cook with charcoals, a fire, or propane.

I have a leg less dutch oven that we occasionally just use the oven.

Nothing is better than dutch oven chicken, potatoes with cheese, and peach cobbler.

It takes a little while longer to cook it, but it sure is worth it.

Recently our scout group had a dutch oven cook off. Everything turned out great and the kids ate everything until it was gone.

So if you are going to move to the Idaho Falls Idaho Real Estate market, dutch oven cooking is a great skill to have since there are a thousand places to camp.

I look forward to working with you.

Thanks Burke Bennett

Stallion habit 90 - Keep your meals under 400 calories

One of the key tips in the abs diet is to keep your meals under 400 calories. That really makes sense if you are trying to eat 6 meals a day at 400 calories a pop.

I have read where your body can really only have 400 calories available without turning in extra into fat.

I guess the theory is that if you don't have more than 400 calories in any one meal that you won't store fat.

So you kind of keep your body not stuffed, but have food in you to keep you from being hungry. Your body should burn off what you have eaten.

Of course choice of foods are important also. The Europeans eat whatever they want, but most of them just try a taste of this or that.

We here in America have the super size option with every meal and it really shows. There are over weight people every where.

I like to eat a big meal every now and then, but for the most part, your mini meals should be under 400 calories.

Stallion habit 89 -Stand for something good

One of the better books I have read talks about 10 virtues that would change our families, homes, and nation if we would just do them.

This book is written for everyone and wasn't necessarily addressing a singular religion or belief system.

The 10 virtues that Gordan B. Hinckley writes on are love, honesty, morality, civility, learning, forgiveness and mercy, thrift, gratitude, optimism, and faith.

I think all human beings experience all of these emotions and would be better off if they would magnify them. This is a good book to order no matter what you believe in.

Thanks,

Burke Bennett

Stallion habit 88 - Get involved with the youth in your community

I am involved in coaching Freshman Basketball this year at Bonneville High School.

My oldest kid is that age, and so it is easy for me to get involved.

We are winning some games, and I teach them what I know about basketball.

I also am involved in scouting and currently have 3 kids participating.

My oldest son is an Eagle Scout, and my other two kids aren't too far behind him. I take a group of youth to scout camp every year at Island park.

I have been trying to help as many of the kids I work with to be the best they can be. I have learned that you can do your best, but if the kids progress in scouting, it really depends on them.

I think everyone can be a positive influence on the youth in their community.

Stallion habit 87 - Buy a WII

Usually I would say video games are generally a waste of time, but I really like the Wii because it makes my family active.

It is a great way to exercise and interact with your kids.

It is fun enough, you can make them do their chores before they hop on the Wii.

Idaho winters are cold, and it is hard to stay active sometimes. I highly recommend you get a Wii for your home and stay active when it is cold.

My brother has lost a ton of weight playing Wii every day. His wife is also on a program and is starting to lose some weight.

Here's to staying healthy and playing with your kids.

Stallion habit 86 - Learn a language

I am glad I took two years of my life to serve a mission for my church. One of the side benefits was I learned Spanish while serving down in Peru.

When I graduated from ISU in 1991, we were at the height of a recession and most businesses weren't hiring.

I was able to get a job with the government speaking Spanish. I also was able to clep about 16 credits in college and get a minor in Spanish.

I use Spanish almost every day of my life, and we try to go to Mexico at least once a year on vacation. That comes in very handy.

I keep up on it by talking in Spanish and of course watching Spanish television.

So learn a new language today.

Stallion habit 85 - Get involved with music

When I was growing up my parents made me play the piano for a penny a minute. At the time, I thought it was hard to do, but I did this until the time I was about 14.

I was good enough to play for my local church and also play the piano for some musical numbers.

When I went into high school, my parents made me take choir and made me try out for swing choir.

This was great training as I learned to read parts and perform before people. I wouldn't have done either if my parents hadn't forced me to do it.

I am also trying to get my kids to learn to play the piano. What a struggle. I finally decided that they can't play video games unless they have practiced.

There are all kinds of ways to get your kids involved in music.

Stallion habit 84 - Do some manual labor

One of my favorite jobs of all time was stocking the freezers at Sam's Club. I quit the job because I found things that made me more money, but I miss the manual labor.

The other day, I was able to pound the cement out of a basement so I could put in a pump.

It was extremely hard work, and I was sweating big time.

However, when I was done, I thought it was a great experience.

I got a workout, and I saved some money. When you get to be a bigger investor though, you will want to hire this work done, and use your time in doing a deal to maximize your return.

Some of these homes need a little bit of work, but it is amazing the return you can get by just cleaning up the yard,and home. Cleaning is huge!

All these things raise the value in the eyes of the person who will buy the home, and you can sell it for a higher price.

If the home smells like animal urine, and is dirty, just plan on having customer after customer turn up their nose at the opportunity.

I had to laugh once because one of my real estate instructors down at the Nouveau Riche University said the smell of animal urine is the smell of money.

What he meant was that you could get a better price and in turn solve the "urine" problem to make more money when you flip it.

I look forward to working with you.
