Wordless Wednesday in Celebration of ActiveRain on Google+

It's difficult to do a Wordless Wednesday post without words, being that a certain amount of words are required for a blog post, at least that is how I understand it. Since ActiveRain is kicking off their Google+ page, I will have to try and find something that fits the occasion. I don't know much about Google+, but I have heard that it is the next big thing! We shall soon see and if it is, I guess I will have to learn more about it.

Lake Powell

This is a photo that I took at Lake Powell, it is my buddy trying to catch the big one! I didn't think it was a very good picture, but my friend that is a professional photographer, told me that it was really good because I was able to catch the suns rays! I would be interested in other people's feedback as well.

DocuSign has helped my business become more efficient!

In writing this post, I didn't necessarily want to promote DocuSign, but in thinking about how my business has become more efficient, I kept thinking about the use of DocuSign. I wish that all seller's would accept electronic signatures, since it is quicker, easier and saves trees! I don't like that FannieMae has verbiage in their addendums stating that electronic signatures are accepted, but then what they mean by this is that it is acceptable for them to use them, but not the buyer.

Now, with this being said, I enjoy using DocuSign, but the system sometimes has issues as well, which makes me consider using a different electronic signature provider, as I know there are many out there. I haven't researched any others, as it seems like DocuSign is very proactive in always looking for ways to make their product better.

One specific part of my business that has become more efficient through the use of DocuSign is for listing appointments. Being that I don't own a notebook, where prospects can sign documents right there, I will present and go over all of the documents that I will need signed. Once I am done with the appointment, I will head back home and upload the documents to DocuSign for them to sign off on. While they are signing off on the documents, I will complete the listing and upload the photos. This allows me to activate the listing as soon as I receive the signed documents back. Also, I don't waste any paper, nor ink from my printer, so not only does it save time, it saves MONEY!!!

Thursday Spiritual Reflection - Everlasting God

Las Sendas, Mesa, AZVal Vista Lakes, Gilbert, AZCircle G in Gilbert, AZ
This is one of my favorite songs to listen to and it delivers such a powerful message. My favorite part of the song is at the end when the young boy is quoting scripture. Coming from the innocence of a small child is so powerful to me. These musicians are so talented and I am thankful that they share their wonderful voices with us through song. I hope this is enjoyed by all.

Wednesday Humor - Charlie

I love the accent from this little boy and this is such a cute video. I remember when it was a huge hit and everyone was talking about it and as I watched it again, I still think its great, so I wanted to share it with everyone. Perhaps some people have not seen it yet, it's definitely worth a watch!!!

How Brian Stays Healthy on the Go - Quinary

Last week I mentioned that I include Quinary with my NuPlus smoothies, so I wanted to spend this week discussing how wonderful Quinary is. I use it daily and most people that are wanting to maintain optimal health will use it 2-3 times daily. Quinary is concentrated nourishment for the 5 Main Systems of the Body!!!
Quinary
Quinary supplement helps maintain health rather than waiting for the body to malfunction. It addresses the body's systems collectively as well as individually. Although it is very difficult to achieve with a formula as complex as this one, our blended herbs are maintained without preservatives or synthetic chemicals.
