About Denton County, TX

Have you ever thought

How Do You Know Your Goal Is Big Enough?

Simple or easy goals while better than NO planning are really not worth it for you to grow. The key in a 'BODACIOUS' goal is it is not going to be easy. John Kennedy in setting the vision to go to the moon said we are going there not cause it was easy but cause it was HARD. Try new things you never have done before.

It is BIG if you constantly MISS it as you keep working on getting there. THEN you will know it is a BIGGIE. And so worth it when you have footprints on the moon.

I have concluded with the modern day social media venues of blogging, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the like, most of it is lame. Not entirely useless but much of it is akin to water cooler chat in the old time offices and that is where in your mind you just have to feel you spent "enough" time with it during your day, then move on to your "real life." What helps me smile about it is categorizing the commenters, and tweeters, and responders with what I found as

The 16 Types Of People On Social Media.

A really cool psychological behavioral model of either yourself or your "friends" or "followers." Well, at least it humors ME. LOL.

1. The "Lurker" - Never posts anything or comments on your post, but reads everything...
2. The "Hyena" - Doesn't ever really say anything, just LOLs and LMAOs at everything.
3. "Mr/Ms Popular" - Has 4367 friends for NO reason
4. The "Gamer" - Plays Words With Friends, Mafia Wars, Bakes virtual cakes and stuff, etc., ALL DAY.
5. The "Prophet" - Every post makes reference to God.
6. The "Thief" - Steals status updates...good ideas, blog posts, photos, and will probably steal this one.
7. The "Cynic" - Hates their life, and everything in it, as evidenced by the somber tone in ALL of their status updates.
8. The "Collector" - Never posts anything either, but joins every group and becomes fans of the most random stuff.
9. The "Promoter" - Always sends event invitations to things that you ultimately delete or ignore.
10. The "Liker" - Never actually says anything, but always clicks the "like" button.
11. The "Hater" - Every post revolves around someone hating them, and they swear people are trying to ruin their life.
12. The "Anti-Proofreader" - This person would benefit greatly from Spellcheck, and sometimes you feel bad for them because you don't know if they were typing fast, or really can't spell.
13. "Drama Queen/King" - This person always posts stuff like "I can't believe this!", or "They gonna make me snap today!", in the hopes you will ask what happened, or what's wrong...but they never finish telling the story.
14. "Womp Womp" - This person consistently tries to be funny...but never is.
15. The "News" - Always updates you on what they are doing and who they are doing it with, no matter how arbitrary.
16. The "Rooster" - Feels that it is their job to tell the WORLD "Good Morning" every day.

Ever been to your WalMart, Target, or favorite local grocery store and pulled one of those shopping baskets out of the lineup and start wheeling along and you got some kind of cockeyed wheel amongst the four that won't let the darn thing go straight? I know I am personally an excellent picker of these lemon baskets in case you need me on your team for such selections.

Homes For Sale Can Be Like A Bum Wheeled Shopping Cart.

I am talking about "deferred maintenance" items that slip by. Sellers think their "almost" perfect home is good enough. Trust me, it is not. Inspections will pick things up, curb appeal will have to improve, a door stained or painted, dings removed, roof shingles replaced, sprinkler heads fixed, missing fence boards replaced. These maintenance items missing, creak along with trying to sell your home and your house drives around the store or "shows" like a cart with a bum wheel. What is the feeling a buyer gets?? Neglect and more important it is ANNOYING.

Don't drive with a bum wheel. FIX all deferred maintenance items.
