Stallion Habit 103 - Use your church members to network

Times are getting tougher and more and more people seem to be out of work.

The good news is that people realize that they need a social network group more than ever to provide for their family

I advised a close friend recently who didn't have a belief in God to go to church even if they don't believe in God just so they could meet people that could help them find a job.

If he would, church goers would ask him what he is doing with his life. He is bound to respond, I am currently unemployed and looking for work.

The church has a network of people who are willing to help people accomplish whatever it is they are in need of.

The scripture, knock and it shall be opened unto you will certainly come true if he would follow this advice.

As a realtor, I have a network of people that I have developed over the 10 years I have practiced real estate.

I look forward to helping you network quicker using some of my connections to help you with your housing needs.

Stallion Habit 102 - Break it down in to doable goals.

One thing I have learned over the years that I am trying to teach my children is to break down a project into smaller parts so that you feel that you accomplish something.

One of my kids is working on his eagle project, and I am trying to get him to do one thing per day. He gets frustrated because he thinks he has to do all of it right now and it has to be perfect, but he sits there and does nothing.

This has been going on for several months. I refuse to do this for him because the whole point of the eagle project is that he does all of the work himself.

Just like the old saying. "You eat an elephant, one bite at a time."

What can we accomplish in this life, if we would break large goals into smaller achievable goals.

The same goes into finding a home. I think people think they are going to find the home they are looking for with one house hunting party, but it usually takes several trips.

Once you decide what you are looking for, I can use the computer to narrow down the choices very quickly my typing in what it is you want.

I can search by almost any criteria you can think of.

I look forward to working with you in helping you find the perfect home.

Thanks Burke Bennett

Stallion Habit 101 - Get a filter on your internet

Holy cow there is a lot of crap on the internet! We found out through a family meeting that some of our kids had pulled up some inappropriate websites.

We are working to get a filter and limit internet usage.

I believe the images that some of these websites have can distort healthy relationships and expectations of marriage.

We really need to be careful what we put into our minds. Filthy images can destroy marriages, and cause depression and other addictions.

I have had some really messy real estate deals that have taught me many lessons on how to prevent them from happening again.

Just like you need a filter for your family, you need a realtor who has had numerous real estate deals to guide you through the pit falls of a deal going south.

I look forward to advising you of the pit falls of any real estate deal here in SE Idaho.

Stallion Habit 100 - Keep your laptop away from your 2 year old

I love my two year old Kache. Twice in the last few weeks, I have come home to find out that all my keys have been pulled off my laptop that I use to to my real estate work here in SE Idaho.

I have also found that my key have been lost or broken, and all because I haven't prevented this.

Anticipating problems before they happen are the key to happiness.

When buying a home in SE Idaho, I always recommend you get a home inspection.

Having an expert look at what you are buying before you buy it is always a good idea.

I have even had a home inspection cause the sellers to come down an additional $2000 in price because of problems that needed to be fixed.

I look forward to helping you find the perfect home here in SE Idaho.

Stallion Habit 99 - Listen to successful old people

Today I spent the day listening to one of the most inspired people on the earth Thomas S Monson, leader of the The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

People who give service and who are older seem to always have good wisdom.

He has hundreds of stories about how he has reached out to others. I have even heard people in my own family say, that they can't believe he has given so much service, but for me, that is the ultimate goal in life which is, when you give service to others you forget about your own selfish problems.

Other older people who I respect are of course my grand parents on both sides of the family. They have lots of real life stories and their examples of course are a model for the younger generation.

I have been through over 100 plus real estate deals. I have had lots of experience, and I can give you pretty good advice on what could happen depending what your real estate situation in SE Idaho is.

I look forward to working with you.

Stallion Habit 98 - Avoid Scams

2009 sure seems to be the year of the scam. I am bombarded by wire scams. I get probably 100 emails a day that are just wire scams.

Then you have people stealing your identity, people just trying to get your money, and Ponzi schemes.

I invested with a local trustworthy guy to buy and sell silver for me. He kept giving me really good returns. I told 7 other people who also invested with him.

Today he was on the front page of the news as a Ponzi scheme. I really feel stupid and trusted him because he was a friend of a friend.

I have been trying to get my money out of him for over a year.

It isn't looking very promising.

It seems like people's treasures are becoming more and more slipery.

Investing in a home in SE Idaho has always been a good investment.

I look forward to working with you.
