Have You Visited Your Local Library Lately???

Have you visited your local public library lately? Long gone are the days of card catalogs and library marms telling you to hush! It is a wonderland of education and fun for youth and adults alike.

My wife has been telling me for months that things have changed...we started bringing the kids to storytime at our local library a few years ago. It was fun for the kids and we were able to check out books for the kids to read at home.

But did you know that the newer libraries (or the renovated ones) have rows and rows of computers to use for free (an hour at a time) and that they are connected to the Internet at smoking fast speeds?

How about the arts and crafts programs for kids that focus on reading and other important skills? There are even classes and meetings for adults. I am going to teach a few classes at the one in Riverside called the Woodcrest Community Library.

My son, Dane, is pictured above playing online at one of the educational websites the library has bookmarked.

Visit your local library today. You might just be surprised. Check out my local library online at www.riverside.lib.ca.us

Keyboard Shortcuts -- I use them...you should too!

Keyboard Shortcuts
Improve Your Efficiency

PCs are an integral part of our lives. We use them extensively at the office and usually end up logging on in the evening as well, to read email and catch up on the day's news.

Since we spend so much of our time in front of the computer, it makes sense to find ways to improve our efficiency. This is where shortcuts come in. By using combinations of keystrokes, you can quickly access several tools without ever having to use your mouse. Most Windows shortcuts may be used for any Microsoft program (Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.) as well as selected products from other manufacturers.



If you would like to incorporate these shortcuts into your repertoire, try keeping a copy of this list at work and at home. Refer to it daily until the keystrokes become second nature. You'll be surprised at how much time you'll save!

Look for more Business Boosters about techniques I use to maximize my efficiency!

If you are a real estate investor, or if you want to be, you have got to find out about The Norris Group!

I am at the Bootcamp Bruce Norris puts on and I recommend that anyone who is an investor go through his course! Unless you plan on investing in the Inland Empire...that's where I am investing...stay away! :)

Aaron talked about social networking online and some of the technology that investors should be using...great stuff. Aaron is an expert at this kind of stuff. I love it because I am a computer geek as well.

Bruce is preparing us to go out in the field today to look at homes he has purchased and repaired/rehabbed. He is showing us what and how he does it...and he does it better than anyone!

Check them out at www.thenorrisgroup.com

I'll talk about my experience in the class and what I am doing with my real estate investments after the 3 day class.

Darren says TAKE ACTION NOW!!!

Another Saturday on he radio! It is always a pleasure to be on the air talking to people about solutions to problems and ways to make money through real estate.

Okay...while that is true...I get very frustrated when I hear people talk about their problems that could have been avoided if they had only taken action sooner.

If they had only refinanced last November when we told them to. If they had sold when we said the market was coming down. If they had called us before their loan adjusted when they could still afford the payment. If they had invested in the rehab properties when the financing was still a slam dunk to get. If they had listened to our three rules of investing...especially rule number two that says that you have to stay positive while holding they would not have so much negative cash flow.

Now we are telling people who need to sell their home in California but can't that we have a solution for you. You can either rent for likely negative cash flow holding on to the property for years...you cab short sell or go in to foreclosure...or you can sell it through us with our real estate assisted partnership. By are you? Not as many as there could be.

How about the people who's loans have adjusted or will adjust in the next year? We have told then about a solution that can save their loan and home...there is a cost , but it us nothing compared to losing their home. Are they acting? Not as many as should act!

We told people that they should call us to refinance if the still have equity and their loan will adjust in the next year! Rates will go up after the election and home prices will continue to fall! If they wait until their loan adjusts they will have a rude awakening when they are not able to get financing!

I love doing the show and we always encourage people to take action whatever their situation might be.

Tune in or call us now at 888-971-8326! Listen, Learn, and Take Action! tm
