I like to wake up and just feel gratitude. Gratitude for waking up, for my health, for my kids, for my family. A lot of times in the evening, I'll write down what my goals are for the next day; When I wake up, I look at that list again. I meditate.

Stop putting it off! Procrastination breeds guilt, guilt breeds depression, and depression breeds failure.

If a house is priced appropriately, make a bid 10 percent below that amount.

The most influential factor in selling a home is always price. Don't build 'wiggle room' into the asking price. There's a price war out there and you have to win it from the get-go.

I was a hot-dog stand lady, I was an orphan housemother, I was a waitress 3 or 4 times. All of those jobs did not have good bosses. They basically told you what to do, when to do and when to hop. And I just didn't like that very much.

When you feel stuck and can't seem to move ahead, always remember that you don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going!

Innovation and creativity are the juiciest parts of running a business.
