My business plan has finally blossomed to the point that my finances will be increased by several million dollars on Monday. Only one last thing has to happen, but it's a sure fire plan.

What is the plan, you ask? Don't bother clamoring for pen and paper, because I'll be kind enough to put it right here in my blog. In fact, I'll even email you a copy if you want to see it up close and personal.

Bill's Business Plan:

1) Think long and hard about what the winning numbers for the Powerball lottery will be

2) Purchase a powerball ticket wtih those numbers

3) Collect grand prize of several million dollars

Now, granted, some people will scoff at this plan, but you have to admit, there are very few points at which it can fail. Afterall, if all the steps are followed correctly, the end result will be great wealth for me!

Why are you still scoffing???

Now let's get to reality. Unfortunately, many agents out there have business plans that are either as crazy as this one (in different ways), or no plan at all.

Business plans are only as good as their parts, and in their execution. For instance, my plan is simple. There are not too many parts to it. The second step is simple - purchasing a ticket is an easy task. The third is simply taking the time to collect the winnings. The first step, then, is the difficult one. What action plan do I have? What knowledge do I need to fulfill the step?

Obviously the knowledge and difficulty make the first step the doozie, and that is the flaw in my plan.

The moral of my silly story is this: First, make a plan. Second, make sure that your plan is reasonable. Third, follow the plan. If you simply set goals but have no real, reasonable, tangible plan for getting there, then the goal is unimportant, because you won't obtain it.

Good luck with your planning for 2009!

I was contacted by a homeowner recently who was going to have his home foreclosed on. I have several programs to help homeowners in that situation, but they are all dependent on one thing - enough time to implement.

This homeowner contacted me on a Friday. His home was going to the foreclosure auction four business days later.

I immediately contacted investors and purchasers who would be interested in buying the home through a short sale, and had very positive response. Only one thing remained - the bank's cooperation.

Unfortunately, the bank who held the first mortgage would not work with me - they could not get an extension worked out for me so close to the auction.

Homeowners, if you are behind in your payments, get help IMMEDIATELY. If you are in South Carolina, contact me right away. There are several options that you may have available, but they are all time dependent.

I've had several calls lately from buyers who live up North, and they all seem to ask the same question: How's the weather down there?

The weather here is a great blessing, especially in the winter time. So far, there have been about two weeks where I needed a coat outside. We get snow a couple times a year, and if it sticks for more than 24 hours it's unusual. Ice storms happen infrequently but we'll usually get a coating of ice about once a year.

Summers are hot and humid, with temperatures in the nineties most of the season. I enjoy mornings and evenings in the summer!

Fall is beautiful, with all of the trees here changing into vast arrays of colors. Spring is gorgeous, with green plants everywhere!

Our weather is not very wild, though we have our rare moments. Come and check out South Carolina and enjoy our climate!
