Speech writer Charles Parnell observed, "Too many people are having what might be called, "near-life experiences." They go through life bunting, so afraid of failure that they never try to win the big prizes, never knowing the thrill of hitting a home run or even taking a swing at one."
We all fail, it just so happens that successful peoples fail more than failures do. The difference is failures quit, and the successful try again and again and again until they succeed.
Sports writer Grantland Rice observed, "Failure isn't so bad if it doesn't attack the heart. Success is alright if it doesn't go to the head."
French writer, poet, and critic Guillaume Apollinaire wrote,
Come to the edge.
No we will fall.
Come to the edge.
No we will fall.
They came to the edge.
He pushed them and they flew.
Those who fly always first get to the edge, and those who swim get in water over their heads. If you want to seize an opportunity, you must take a risk. If you want to grow you must make mistakes. If you want to reach your potential, you will have to take chances. If you don't, you will be resigned to a life of mediocrity. The people who don't make mistakes end up working for those who do. And in the end, they often end up regretting the safe life they lived.

Ever notice how some people when they walk into the room it lights up, just get that respect and 
admiration and others don't? They just seem to have it altogether? Well I think that it's all in how we see ourselves. If we think of ourselves as poor little me's then that is exactly what everyone else sees. Want to be seen as someone with a game plan and as a person of action and credibility, then get the plan and the credentials.
In Numbers 32-33 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, "The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. 33 We saw the Ne
philim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them." The Bible clearly showed us what happens when we don't see ourselves as we should. The fear creeps in and paralyses us.
My dog General weighs in and at a top weight of 2lb 6oz but he thinks he's a heavyweight champion. He take on all comers when challenged, he doesn't pay attention to size and let it get in his way, in his mind he's a champion and a big one at that. If we would think like the "Little General" (as he is affectionately known) we would be able to accomplish far more than we do. Strangers often see us as we see ourselves.
At the end of 2008 I was looking into joining a real estate company that offered it all. Having been in the business for about 17 years, 13 of which was with Keyes and 4 + as a broker I needed help, and lots of it. Help to get my career back on track again and when i talked with Rita Polit and Natacha Tello of Keller Williams in Pembroke Pines I knew i had found it, There was that majic in their office that I could feel and almost touch. I'd been in alot of offices but none as dynamic as this one.
I moved in in mid April 09 and it has been really a good move for us, all 10 of us that came,, we all could not be happier with the support and encouragement that Rita has offered. This business is fun again for me and I look to be back on top within the next couple of years.
See you guys at the closing table.

As a South Florida resident, I have gained extensive knowledge of its diverse cultural communities. I have built my successes on hard work, customer dedication & providing excellent service. Over the years I have diligently applied my real estate experiences, passions & trainings to excel in the market. Achieving my Real Estate License (1991); my Mortgage Brokers License in 1998; my Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) in 1999; & my Certified Residential Brokers (CRB) License in 2007 has paved the road to my career endeavors. In 1998, after 6 years as a "Do it All" Realtor I began building a real estate team, The Mark Lyon Team. As one of the pioneers in developing real estate teams I realized the power of teamwork & that sharing & networking with other real estate professionals is the key to my current success. From 2005 til April 2009 I was the GM of The Lyon Company I had the privilege to work with over 50 professional associates. At The Lyon Company we are committed to our vision of growth by recruiting, training, & partnering with like minded professionals, together we shall set the standards by which others are measured. I welcome the opportunity to share some of these experiences with you! To day I am proud to be an associate of Keller Williams.
Saturated with sunshine and replete with warm and friendly people the city of Pembroke Pines successfully inspires a relaxed style of living. 
The charm of Pembroke Pines is an attractive alternative to the stressful challenges of urban life. Thirty -five square miles in size, Pembroke Pines was originally an area characterized by picturesque farmland and open vistas. Pembroke was incorporated in 1960 as a result of a 1950's expansion that beckoned families to take advantage of the wide-open spaces and large parcels of land. Recognized as one of the fastest growing communities in Florida the city has a current population of over 137,000 residents.Pembroke Pines Community Info - crime statistics, demographics ...
As a result of the increasing growth of the area, new schools are opening regularly. Pembroke Pines is a part of the Boward County School District, which has received well-deserved accolades for its strong relationship between the school, family and the community at large. Broward County School District is the fifth largest in the United States and is one of only seven national districts to demonstrate consistent improvement during the past few years. It has exceeded national averages in student performance scores in both reading and math and has gained recognition for its performance by the State Board of Education. A temperate climate, spacious public areas, a low crime rate and plenty of community facilities make Pembroke Pines the perfect home for young families and seniors alike.

A TRUSTED PROFESSIONAL
I FOUND Mark to be always considerate and helpful and many, many, times going beyond the normal duties of a realtor. When asked, he would also act in an advisory role. I found him to be assertive but at the same time sensitive. This blend got the job done with a management style of professionalism and humanism. I unqualifyingly recommend Mark Lyon as a trusted professional. Thia Zaccaria Champaign, IL

DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU
I live in Pembroke Pines and my home is up for sale. Unfortunately, when I asked around for realtors I didn't hear about you. My problem is this. I'm using a very nice lady but she does nothing and is not in our area. "We learned the hard way" I'm getting married and need to sell. Please help me. I will do anything. Sandi Powers Pembroke Pines, FL
HAVE RECOMMENDED YOU TO MY FRIENDS
I want to thank you again for all your help, patience and "above and beyond" call of "duty" as a real estate agent. Sorry for any inconveniences you experienced. It was a comfort to work to work with someone who could be trusted, relied upon and extremely professional in every sense of the word. I have recommended you do Rose and George as well as Tery.
