The Origin of Labor Day Labor Day is truly a global holiday, or as it is known internationally May Day. The roots of Labor Day stretch back to the 1810's and what was known as the eight hour day movement. Robert Owen, as early as 1817 had formulated the goal of the eight-hour day and coined the slogan Eight hours labor, Eight hours recreation, Eight hours rest. In the new founded Wellington colony in 1840, the carpenter Samuel Parnell refused to work more than eight hours a day. This movement also began in Australia, when the Stonemasons stopped working and proceeded to march on Parliament from the University of Melbourne, to achieve an eight hour work day. This movement eventually found its way to Canada as well, and Labor Day in Canada as well as the United States can be attributed directly to the efforts of the Knights of Labor. The Knights of Labor was labor union founded in secrecy in December 1869, by a group of Philadelphia tailors led by Uriah S. Stephens. Originally called 'The Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor', it was designed to protect all who worked for a living. They organized a parade by on September 5, 1882 in New York City which became an annual parade when it was organized a second time in 1884. The International Workingmen's Association, many of whom were socialists or anarchists, favored a May 1 holiday. With the event of Chicago's Haymarket riots in early May of 1886, president Grover Cleveland believed that a May 1 holiday could become an opportunity to commemorate the riots. Thus, fearing that it might strengthen the socialist movement, he quickly moved in 1887 to support the position of the Knights of Labor and their date for Labor Day. Since then, Labor Day has been celebrated on the first Monday in September in the United States since the 1880s. The September date has remained unchanged, even though the government was encouraged to adopt May 1 as Labor Day, the date celebrated by the majority of the world. Enjoy your leisure time and enjoy your family members, have a happy labor day from everyone at The Motivated Entrepreneur.

Labor day is upon us. Barbeques, family fun, events, gatherings, and time to catch up with old and new friends,. For some strange reason I always think it is the beginning of the end of summer yet it is far from it. It has been a difficult time for many in Real Estate but for some odd reason I actually see the market starting to take off. I do not know if it is because it is an election year, or the people are tired of listening to the doomed news of the media. The truth is I really cannot think of a better time in history to buy a home. The rates are incredibly low, the choice is plentiful, and if you have good credit you can buy that home

Not too long ago I was conversing with Elizabeth Weintrab about Fha's. (Elizabeth is a shing star and an expert on lots of topics I think if Elizabeth ever needed tutoring they would have to fly someone in from another planet. If there was a picture of a decent human being that was a role model for us all in the dictionary. A very charming, graciuos, and beautiful woman. As you can tell this is one of my role models)and we were reminiscing about FHA and VA loans. When I got into this business their was conventional, VA, FHA, and WHEDA. Along came ARMS, and then the whole sub prime thing hit the fan. The truth is FHA is always been there and it is better than ever.

If you are in a bind why not find a lender to do a seminar with you about first time buyers and FHA loans. The truth is you have to get the news out to these buyers that the ratios are better in their favor, you can mortgage the MIP, and you can get in with as little as 3% down. There are many programs that states offer to help stimulate home ownership. So what are you waiting for. In stead of riding a storm out get ion top of the wave. You can make things happen if you only take a step back out of the box and look at the big picture.

All those for rent signs. Ever think that those are a flag for landlords that want to cash out or starker up (a Starker is in reference to IRS section code 1031 that helps defer capital gains)

Wake a tomorrow with a game plan, a whole new one. If you have problems call me; I will point you in the right direction.

For example all I heard last year was how difficult it had become to sell multi families. Yet, I sold more multi familes in the State of Wisconsin than any other Broker through out the state. It is all mind set and attitude.

The next time you doubt yourself google "the Secret" and watch the clip "the first 20 minutes of the movie". This will get you thinking about how you attract the good and bad into your life. This is so true.

So this Labor Day weekend make it a happy, healthy, and enjoyable time. Forget about work for a while, hug someone, call someone you have not talked to for ages, and best of all make amends with someone you should have years ago.For me, dare to be different.

Your friend, colleague, and fellow activerainer and Realtor

Over the years we have had the chance to work with some pretty remarkable people and have enjoyed their company. We were fortunate enough to have found for them, or have sold them a property.The wonderful thing about this Industry is the people that work in it. I have met some of the most giving and compassionate individuals in many different Real Estate companies. It never ceases to amaze me how giving and how talented they are. I am fortunate that I have went on to become good friends with them, or have them as Mentors. Realtors are, in my eyes, people that like to be around people. When I talk to other Brokers and Salespeople about their careers and business you can see the spark in their eyes, and the smile is ever present. I have met some very decent individuals in my line of business, and I am proud to be associated with them.

Helping new found friends with their Real Estate needs has taken many different roads, and may have started with a newly married couple bursting with pride in the thought of purchasing their own home. Time went by and they moved up to have a larger home with more room to grow. Eventually, the cycle moved on and it meant yet another move with more dreams, and I was fortunate to help them again. It may have been selling that single family home when the children grew up only to find them another property.

It may have been a Commercial building, or perhaps a business. For each dream, goal, and aspiration,we stood ready and able to help them reach their destination.

We have also helped an amazing amount of customers and clients selling and finding them investment properties; small and not so small.

Re/Max

You really have not seen any so spectacular until you see a metropolitan city like Milwaukee with more motorcycles in it than people. Yes, it is time for Harley Davidson's 105th anniversary. These organizers set no limits as to entertainment, hospitality, big music events. Rush, Bruce Springsteen, and you name it make up a whole week of solid entertainment among Harley owners and non Harley owners alike. It is something you would never believe unless you see it. You can turn around and see very famous person you can think of. Lake year even Jay Leno was a grand marshal. I could go on for pages telling you what this does for a city, and Harley owners. In some cases families are taking a vacation for a week and rented out their house for ten thousand dollars to Doctors and Lawyers and that Harley owners. It is nuts.I have, and will never see so many motorcycles at once. The rumble is so intense that it sets off the alarms of cars parked in the parking shelters ten stories up.The lake front, the city, and outlying cities and state will be busy. The revenue this brings in is staggering.in addition to Bruce Springsteen there is the Foo Fighters, Aerosmith, and lots more.

August 28th - 31st, 2008
