My mission is to offer highly effective techniques that will really work, producing tangible results. Learn the four …

We've all seen or know the type of woman who has a magnetic personal presence.  The type of woman to whom people are naturally attracted and drawn to.  The kind of woman who walks into a room with an air of confidence that gives her instant credibility; who connects with people easily; who attracts the kind of attention SHE wants and deserves without having to try so hard to get it.  She always seems to be seen by the right people at the right time, and is so effective in both her professional a …

If you would like to meet other ladies in the Western Suburbs at breakfast/brunch, you'll enjoy this group. Going out for breakfast now and then is a treat for me, and I especially like going with "the girls," which is why I began this Meetup. As members, we'll get together about once a month and share thoughts on current events, what we're reading or doing right now (redecorating, just moved here, working on something interesting?) and anything else that's on our minds. Ladies, girls, women, wh …

As you drive up the peninsula, crossing Sturgeon Bay, you start feeling healthy and robust, as if all of your troubles have been left behind. Door County is a place like no other. It is a land of gorgeous cliffs, bluffs and rock outc …

There are currently around 5 million homes in foreclosure in the U.S. right now.  It is reasonable to expect that there will be at least 12 million more homes going into foreclosure within the next two years.  Because of these astronomical numbers, many people are scared of investing in real estate.  However, this market creates the ideal situation for real estate investors.  Our philosophy is to respond to market trends, and pick investment strategies that work in today’s market.  Because so ma …

Don't believe all the hype you hear from the talking heads on the T.V. It's not all doom and gloom, there are areas all over the country that are still appreciating. Besides, an educated investor knows how to make money if the market is going up, down, or sideways. It all comes down to being educated. When former Fed. Chairman Alan Greenspan was asked what he thought the difference was between the wealthy and the middle class, his answer was very simple, "The right education!" and he wasn't tal …
