Congratulations!

Hello, hello.

Did you miss me?

Well, I know that one of my resolutions (at least five posts a week) did not work out that well in the last week. But that's ok. I am sticking to my Goal Achieving plan and here I am. I am back and stronger then ever!

Ok. Yesterday was apparently the most depressing day of the year. Ottawa was very cold (-29C with windchill) but it was celebrating. We were celebrating one of our favorite (mine in particular) radio DJs. I know this blog is for women but who else will support our Canadian boys' accomplishments?

Jeff Mauler from the "Morning Hot Tub" on Hot 89.9 was chosen as one of the co-hosts with Kelly Ripa on "Live with Regis and Kelly". This is a huge accomplishment! He was chosen out of 1,000s of contestants. He is the only Canadian that will be one of the hosts with Kelly Ripa next week.  

Another interesting news I've heard today is that Regis Philbin is retiring from the program. So, in reality,  Mauler, as we know him in Ottawa, is going for his new job interview next week. And I know that he will do very well and get the permanent hosting job on "Live with Regis and Kelly" (well it will have to be "Live with Mauler and Kelly"). Next, Daytime own TL Rader will be replacing Kelly Ripa (TL, I know that this is your dream job). For those of you in Ottawa, can you imagine those two hosting together? They work great together in Ottawa!

So, this is a bit of Ottawa news for you for today. There will be another post later today. I will be sharing few tips on fitness and nutrition. Don't forget to check "Current Woman" before you go to bed tonight.

That's all for now.

Canadian Real Estate

Hello,

I know, I know. I am running a little behind on my posts this week. Well guess what, LIFE GOT IN THE WAY!

Yes, it happened again. But, I am following my tips for keeping up with New Year resolutions (see "Happy New Year, Part Two" on my blog) and it's working great. My approach really works.

Now, as you probably know from my profile I am a Real Estate Sales Representative in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Thus, some of my posts will relate to Real Estate.
The Canadian Real Estate Action Plan: Proven Investment Strategies to Kick Start and Build Your PortfolioThere will be monthly Real Estate posts. And if there is anything special that requires another Real Estate post, of course I'll share it with you. Because you deserve it!

I believe in education and into investing in Real Estate. And I am always happy to share my experiences and help out anyone that is interested.

In the meantime, enjoy the first issue of 2011of Canadian Real Estate News.

Please contact me if you have any questions or interest in Canadian Real Estate. If it's not in Ottawa or Canada I can still help you. I have connections throughout Canada and the world.

Have a great day and remember...

Happy New Year! Part Three

And for a little surprise, here is a New Year Present for you!

Happy New Year!

And remember,

Be Active! Be Involved! Be a Current Woman!

Happy New Year! Part Two

Happy New Year!

So, have you got your New Year resolution? Great! Let's talk about keeping it alive.

KEEP REACHING TOWARD YOUR GOALSThink about it. Look at your goal as a project. We all worked on projects at some point in our lives. And as you are aware, from time to time projects need adjustments. Perhaps your original process is not as efficient and you have discovered a better way to go forward. Perhaps your original goal is not an actual possibility but it is more realistic if you make an adjustment. Perhaps your time line is just a little too short now, so you make another adjustment. You get the point. You do not give up, you know that this project has to be completed no matter what.

Another important part of success is support. Majority of projects require a team. So, if you are having tough time pushing it forward on your own, ask for help. Share your goal with someone close to you (supporting family member, close friend). This person can be a force that keeps you on track when everything else fails. Trust me, it works!

Now, have you had a thought of giving up on it somewhere in the middle? Have you ever thought that it will actually be possible to complete? I am sure you did. But it had to be done for whatever reason (hey, you get a promotion thanks to the project). You made a commitment and it worked! After few struggles and adjustments your project is an undisputed success!

Resolutions That Work: How to make & keep new years resolutionsWell, ok. How can all that you just read help you to keep your New Year's resolution. Very simple, make a commitment, make adjustments, make the goal achievable. Do not give up! Things happen, life gets in the way. But that only means that you are living! That's great news! And your resolution is just part of that life. You have to have goals in you life. But I'll save it for another post.

Here are few tips for keeping up with your resolution:

1. Right it down! Very important! It will be a contract with yourself. This is a commitment!
2. Stay on track. Remind yourself about your goal everyday. Remember, you wrote it down. So, why don't you carry it with you as a reminder.
3. Do not be afraid to make adjustments to the process, time frame or even goal itself. But remember to keep the main point of your goal. Also, do not make it too easy for yourself.
4. If you are having tough time doing it on your own have a support of someone close to you.
5. Do not give up! So what if it takes a little longer. The most important part is to make your goal come to life! Just think how good you are going to feel when you've accomplished what you've planned!
6. Congratulate yourself! Have a little celebration (or big one, whatever works for you)! You deserve it!

Hope this is helpful. I know it always works for me. But you really need a commitment. So, your resolution has to be something that you know you want to happen in your life. If you do not feel comfortable with my tips, Goals On Track program will be very useful for you.

I'd love to hear from you if you have any tips of your own that you'd like to share. Please make a comment.

In the mean time, Good Luck!

Happy New Year and remember,

Be Active! Be Involved! Be a Current Woman!
