Are you one of those agents who is easily influenced by negative media or the long faces of your depressed colleagues?
If so, then this market is much worse than you think.
Why? Because while you spend your time wallowing in the doom and gloom, serious-minded agents are rising to the challenge and capitalizing on the opportunities that today's market presents-the ones you're leaving behind.
That's the bad news. And the really bad news is that when the tides of economic change do turn, those agents will have already developed trusting relationships with their sphere of influence, niche markets and business-to-business networks. They'll be positioned for expansive growth and unparalleled success while the "Negative Neds and Nellies" of the real estate world remain knee deep in "what's wrong with the world." My suggestion? Don't join them!
The good news is that every change in business and in life brings with it both challenges and opportunities. If you're ready to turn your "news" into good news in your business, your life and even in your relationships, start by changing one word, one action, one habit each day from negative to positive-and let the real power of suggestion ignite your spirit and improve your production. Do this, and you might just decide that this market is much better than you think.
Here are some ideas to get you going:

Bloomberg Article on Florida Real Estate Bottom
Florida Real Estate Bottom Signaled by Sale of Distressed Condo
By Bob Ivry
Sept. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Sales of distressed Miami properties have begun, signaling a bottom for south Florida's real estate market and the end of waiting for vulture funds armed with about $30 billion to spend.
The sale of 120 condominiums last month to a Philadelphia private equity firm and Related Group of Florida, a development company led by Jorge Perez, ``broke the logjam'' for investors targeting the oversupply of condos in downtown Miami, said Peter Zalewski, owner of the Condo Vultures LLC consulting firm in Bal Harbour, Florida.
Regional and community lenders are starting to market properties in Miami, where the median condo price in July fell 19 percent from a year earlier, according to the Florida Association of Realtors in Orlando. Banks that were reluctant to take real estate-related writedowns may be forced by regulators to sell homes that sit empty and mortgage notes that aren't being paid, said Jack McCabe, founder of McCabe Research & Consulting LLC in Deerfield Beach, Florida.
``There's a purging going on,'' McCabe said. ``It's my belief that the vulture buyers would form the bottom of the real estate market, and we're almost there. That bottom may last for three years as foreclosure sales go on.''

4 Reasons Why Investors Should Avoid Hedge Funds at All Costs
Posted in Investing by Johns WuJuly 22, 2008 09:29 PM
Hedge fund activity currently constitutes approximately 30 percent of all equity trade volume. So if you have any experience with equity trading, or even a slight interest in this type of venture, then you’ve probably been tempted to get involved with one of these notorious private investments funds. And make no mistake, hedge funds and those who run them have made a name for themselves in recent years.
Hedge funds have been all over the mainstream news media of late, whether it’s due to huge successes, shocking defeats, or the way that their managers seem to treat billions of dollars as if it were Monopoly money.
Hedge funds are private by definition and only certain investors qualify to partake in them. If you’ve climbed your way into this category as a result of a strong record in equity or futures trading, you might feel compelled to throw your money in with the über-rich, thinking that it’s a sure way to become one of the elite. But be warned, hedge funds are not all that they are cracked up to be. In fact, for an educated and conscientious investor, hedge funds can be a nightmare.
These four curious characteristics of hedge funds make them different than many standard investments. If you don’t bat an eye at this list, then go for it and you’ll at least enter the fray with your eyes wide open. But if anything in this description of hedge funds surprises you or makes you the least bit uncomfortable, then it might be best to stick with what you know.

Special Offer
This product is great for your website, direct marketing, and internet marketing!
Did Hypnotic Marketing 2.0 make you cry?
Cry?
We hope not.
Buy?
Thousands already have.
The secret?
Emotion.
Throughout the promotion of HypnoticMarketing 2.0, it was emotion that helped slingshot HM2.0 to the top - becoming Joe's best-selling product ever.Hidden deep within the emails and sales letter were traces of techniques that Joe teaches in his ebook, "Emotional Selling Tools".
See if you can spot 3 of them:---> http://www.HypnoticMarketing.com/g.o/pegasuslm
"Emotional Selling Tools" has been a secret weapon many marketers refer backto often to really get into the heads of their potential customers.In fact, Joe uncovered 155 different ways to trigger consumers into making an emotional purchase.
155 different ways...
Most websites fail to use just one of these 155...And when it comes to Social Media Marketing, emotional selling is rarely used. Very few understand the true power of what emotional selling can do for their business.
In fact, for the last year, even if someone like you wanted to get a hold of "Emotional Selling Tools", it was impossible. It's been off of the market. And it's still off the market today.
However, for the first time in more than a year, "Emotional Selling Tools" is now being made available to the public. But there's one small catch.
You need to own Hypnotic Marketing 2.0.
If you already own Hypnotic Marketing 2.0, be sure to log into your members area and refresh the page. You'll notice that there is a brand new link to download Joe's book, "Emotional Selling Tools"!
For those of you who have not ordered Hypnotic Marketing 2.0 yet... here's your chance to claim your copy of "Emotional Selling Tools", plus Hypnotic Marketing 2.0, PLUS all of the bonuses.
The "Emotional Selling Tools" book is worth the small investment of Hypnotic Marketing 2.0 alone!---> http://www.HypnoticMarketing.com/g.o/pegasuslm
Remember, you'll not only get Hypnotic Marketing 2.0 and all of the bonuses you'll find on:
http://www.HypnoticMarketing.com/g.o/pegasuslm... but you will also get two unadvertised bonuses:
1. Emotional Selling Tools
2. Hypnotic Blogging This has become a massive course for Hypnotic Social Media Marketing that most other marketers would charge at least $597 for.
People still can't believe that we haven't raised the price of HM 2.0.But we're going to VERY soon...
Hurry... Go to:http://www.HypnoticMarketing.com/g.o/pegasuslm
To Your Success,
Lisa Merritt
P.S... By combining everything you'lllearn in HM 2.0, Hypnotic Blogging, andEmotional Selling Tools, you will be well on your way to becoming a true social media marketing expert for your business.Your competitors will have no idea whathit them!
