us dog, and my love turned to terror. What changed? Not dogs.

Dogs have always been the same- most are friendly, some are not. Some bite, most do not. Dogs didn't change, I changed. Rather, my perception of dogs changed, based on one bad experience. Fear is like that- it's icy grip is not based on logic, but on our "experience perception".

Experience perception is nothing more than the way our minds choose to think about and shape our memories. You can change your experience perception of almost anything by carefully crafting and choosing WHICH experiences to dwell on, and how to think about them. Choose to think about past failures and problems, and those will shape your experience perception. Choose instead to think about and clearly remember successes and victories and your experience perception will be increasingly shaped in strengthening ways.

Clear thinking about dogs has helped me overcome my fear. I remind myself of the pleasurable experiences I have had with MOST dogs. Soon, the ONE bad experience I had becomes insignificant. I no longer fear dogs. I like dogs. Success Sentences to Help Combat Conversational Crappiness
Essential to your success as an effective, engaging communicator is learning not only what to say, but what not to say. The following guide examines several sentences, phrases and questions that stand in your way of connecting and communicating with confidence.Do you remember me? If you walk up to someone and the first words out of your mouth are, “Do you remember me?” I guarantee you will a) make them feel uncomfortable, b) pressure them into giving an answer, and c) cause them to lose face when they regretfully tell you they can’t seem to remember who you are.Some people are good with names; others are good with faces; while others can’t seem to recall a single person they’ve ever met in their lives. But no matter what type of memory a person has, “forgetting someone” is one of the most embarrassing feelings anyone can experience – especially if they’ve met you several times before.Therefore, if you know someone doesn’t remember you, rescue them. Just tell them who you are. Odds are, deep down they’ll be signing, “Oh thank God he told me his name – I didn’t want to ask!”SUCCESS SENTENCE™ #1: “Hi! I’m Scott with Front Porch Productions – we met last month at the Chamber Meeting when Carol introduced us.”Here’s my card... The rule of business cards is: don’t

One guy rented out his house and the tenants trashed it and disappeared into the night. A woman in the mid-west bought a house with an undisclosed gas leak, and it blew up the day she closed on it (thankfully no one was there at the time). A friend tried to flip a property and wound up losing several thousand dollars when the market tanked mid-flip.

I sold a mobile home to a couple who made two payments and decided that was enough. I lost a few thousand before I managed to get the home back- trashed of course.

There are problems with houses nobody could foresee, market ups and downs no one can predict, and sudden disasters few can imagine.

I know an investor in New Orleans that lost about half his entire portfolio to Hurricane Katrina.

Encouraged? You should be, and I'll tell you why. Every one of the investors I just mentioned is STILL ACTIVELY INVESTING!

How is that possible, you ask? Simple. They know four things you don't yet know.

For instance, the guy who had his house trashed has been investing just over 7 years. In that time he has purchased and rented out 17 single family homes and duplexes. He's only lost money on one of them- the one I mentioned above- and even that is now re-rented to stable tenants. At the pace he's investing, his portfolio will be worth $10,000,000 by 2010.

The Denver woman whose furnace exploded sued the person she bought the home from. After several months she settled out of court, collected the insurance money, walked away and purchased a small apartment building.

My friend the flipper has bought and sold between 30 and 40 houses since 1998. In that time, his annual income has shot from about 40k to over $300,000! Think he's dwelling on the 2 or 3 houses he's lost money on? I Doubt it.

And the New Orleans investor? He's rehabbing many of the houses that were damaged by Katrina, still actively buying houses, and still collecting rents on the remainder of his portfolio.

So let's talk about you. You may be saying, "That's all well and good. They all have resources I don't. I can't afford to lose. What if something goes wrong on my first deal?" Or, maybe you're thinking, "I don't know enough. Those people are all experienced investors. I'm not- I'll get killed by stuff I can't see coming." Or perhaps, "If just one more thing goes wrong it'll put me right over the edge. I can't afford any more failures."

Those are all important and thoughtful arguments. They all have one thing in common.

There are four main reasons for this. These four reasons also happen to be the four things that- if applied diligently and persistently in ANYONE'S life- will completely eliminate fear. Destroy it. Wipe it out. Obliterate it. Render it powerless. Get the idea? In short, WORK ON THESE and THESE WILL WORK!

One- Clear thinking. Fear is a product of our thoughts, nothing more and nothing less. How we perceive a thing leads us to welcome it or fear it, or anything in between.

Experiment- Try this at home. Try to clearly remember the thing that scared you most as a child, something that really rattled your wits. Now think about when and why it scared you. Did it ALWAYS scare you, or was there a particular point in time that it STARTED to scare you? Why? What happened at that point in time to CAUSE you to become scared? Did the THING change, or did YOU?

Most people, when they think about it, find that their fear of something began at a specific point in time. Something happened that changed the way they perceived the object of their fear. Prior to the occurrence, they didn't experience the same fear. After the occurrence-WHAMO! Fear, baby!

The thing that scared me most as a child were barking dogs. I couldn't get near a barking dog without turning into a quivering bowl of jelly. It wasn't always that way. When I was small I had a dog, and loved it. Then I was bitten on the stomach by a vicious dog, and my love turned to terror. What changed? Not dogs.

Clear thinking about dogs has helped me overcome my fear. I remind myself of the pleasurable experiences I have had with MOST dogs. Soon, the ONE bad experience I had becomes insignificant. I no longer fear dogs. I like dogs. How To Keep Your Blog Readers Interested
First things first, post often !One thing that is important when you have a blog is that you have dynamic content (content that changes over time). This will encourage people to check back to your site regularly. Updating your blog once a month, really isn’t going to encourage people to check back every day. Depending on what you like to blog about (your life, sports, news, etc) , try to be at least regular in the amount of postings you have. My recommendation is to aim for at least one good post a week.What to write ?People always say to me, sure I would love to blog, but I don’t know what to write. It’s simple as, write what you feel passionate about, write about what you find interesting or quirky in the world today, write about interesting websites you come across. But one key point is to make sure you stick to your niche, don’t start changing the direction of your blog drastically overnight. It is important that someone who reads your postings has an idea of what to expect when they come across a new post. Sure you can evolve over time and add more sections to your blog. But I would advise that for the start you stick to a few key categories.How to write an Interesting PostThe key here is to understand who will be reading your posts, who are you aaged? You should be, and I'll tell you why. Every one of the investors I just mentioned is STILL ACTIVELY INVESTING!

It is important to distinguish between corporate identity, brand identity, and brand image. Corporate identity is concerned with the visual aspects of a company's presence. When companies undertake corporate identity exercises, they are usually modernizing their visual image in terms of logo, design, and collaterals. Such efforts do not normally entail a change in brand values so that the heart of the brand remains the same - what it stands for, or its personality.Unfortunately, many companies do not realize this fallacy, as they are sometimes led to believe by agencies and consultancy companies that the visual changes will change the brand image. But changes to logos, signage, and even outlet design do not always change consumer perceptions of quality, service, and the intangible associations that come to the fore when the brand name is seen or heard.The best that such changes can do is to reassure consumers that the company is concerned about how it looks. Brands do have to maintain a modern look, and the visual identity needs to change over time. But the key to successfully affecting a new look is evolution, not revolution. Totally changing the brand visuals can give rise to consumer concerns about changes of ownership, or possible changes in brand values, or even unjustified extravagance.

Have you ever heard of network forensics? Not everyone has but the meaning is actually very important. It basically means the recording, analyzing, and capturing of events on a network in order to determine how and why attacks on security occurred as well as other problems. Forensics typically refers to crime investigation but it has been borrowed and applied to the safety and investigation of security of networks. There are a couple of different types of network forensic systems for network monitoring. These include the systems that pretty much catch and store all information that passes through a certain point. A RAID system is typically needed for this and a lot of storage space is necessary for this method. The next option is when certain information from each packet is saved in memory in case it is needed for analysis in the future. A fast processor is typically needed although lots of storage is not as important. Of course, both methods require storing a lot of information and erasing the old periodically to make room for the new information. There are some open source programs that may be used as well as others.When it comes to network forensics it is important to have a basic understanding of lawful intercept. This basically applies to what information may be intercepted legally. CALEA has set forth some bathinking. Fear is a product of our thoughts, nothing more and nothing less. How we perceive a thing leads us to welcome it or fear it, or anything in between.

You’ve heard about the so-called real estate bubble—how could you not? The phrase is getting more media coverage than most celebrity couples. Doom-and-gloom pundits are gleefully predicting a collapse of the American real estate market; other experts say that’s impossible. Real estate author and attorney William Bronchick says, “The ‘bubble theory’ is full of hot air.”While it’s true that many markets are appreciating rapidly, a corresponding crash is not automatic and in fact is highly unlikely. “Some analysts are comparing today’s real estate market with the rise and fall of dotcoms in the late 1990s, but it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison,” says Russ Whitney, real estate investing expert and bestselling author of The Millionaire Real Estate Mindset (Doubleday) and Building Wealth (Simon & Schuster). “The reality is that there is no national real estate market. Statisticians might put together national statistics, but the markets are local and driven by local conditions.”Some investment advisors see the total rise in value of residential property as a bubble indicator. One such advisor is Buck Hartzell, who writes for The Motley Fool. He believes that holders of real estate, equities, and high-yield debt are likely to get hurt when the market deflates—including, he says, speculators us dog, and my love turned to terror. What changed? Not dogs.

Similarly, focus on your victories, think CLEARLY about your failures (were they REALLY failures?) and you will no longer fear failure- you will anticipate success. Make clear thinking a part of your mental training starting TODAY!

Two- Truthful self talk. Have you ever listened to the things you tell yourself? I did, and it wasn't pretty, so I changed it. I caught myself saying all manner of ridiculous things that just weren't true. One thing I told myself pretty consistently was, "You don't DESERVE success." Maybe you can relate to that, or maybe you've got your own brand of self-deception. Whatever it is, you can change it.

We all talk to ourselves virtually non-stop. Pause and think- weren't you just telling yourself something? Either you were agreeing with what I just said, or you were disagreeing, but you were saying SOMETHING to yourself. Learn to monitor carefully the things you tell yourself. I think you'll be surprised by what you hear.

First, consciously force yourself to listen to your self talk. Then, when you are aware of it, write it down and dissect it. Think it through- is it really true? If not, why do you believe it? More important, why do you keep telling it to yourself? Focus on CHANGING your self talk, and start replacing all the lies with the truth. I mentioned one of those lies above. Remember, "It'll put me right over the edge?" That's a lie for sure.

After all, what exactly does that mean? Where is the "edge", anyway? Here's another lie we tell ourselves- "I can't take any more." Unless you're dead, it's just not true. Humans are nothing if not resilient. God created us that way. Somewhere somebody had gone through much more than you and rebounded from it. You can, too.

Replace the lies you tell yourself with truth. Where do you find these truths? The Bible is a great place to start. Articles like this one. Great books, websites, motivational tapes and CD'S. Start today.

Number Three- Education. Knowledge and skill breed confidence. As you increase your knowledge, you can feel your power grow and your fear diminish. For proof, consider an area you need to perform well in, but know very little about- like buying a car for instance. Many people dread buying a car. Why? Because of all the mystery involved. Funny thing, though. The more you learn about the product and the process of car shopping, the more confidence you have, and the less you will fear it.

Applied to real estate investing, the more books and courses you read and study, the less your fear will control you. Darkness gives way to light, and fear is always banished by the light. In fact, isn't darkness often used as a metaphor for fear? There's a very good reason for that. Things we can clearly see and understand lose their power over us- at least their power to cause fear.

There is a wealth of excellent material available on every conceivable real estate investing topic. You don't need to go it alone. Somebody has already successfully done what you want to do, systematized it, and written it down. Buy books and courses. Read the free articles available here and on other websites. Start learning and never stop- you will see your fear diminish and your confidence soar.

Number Four- Faith. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews chapter 11, verse 1) When everything around you appears dark, and you can't see the path in front of your feet- HAVE FAITH. When you know you're supposed to be doing something, but you're just too scared to do it- HAVE FAITH. When everybody says you can't, but you know deep inside you can- HAVE FAITH. When you are all alone, even in a crowd- HAVE FAITH. When you don't understand, and the world is a very confusing place- HAVE FAITH. When you are frustrated because you know you are right, but you are feeling so wrong- HAVE FAITH.

When you have blown it, and let everybody down- HAVE FAITH. When somebody else has blown it, and let you down- HAVE FAITH. When you are sick and need to be taken care of- HAVE FAITH. When you are well and taking care of everybody else- HAVE FAITH. When you are so tied up in knots, you feel like screaming- HAVE FAITH. When absolutely nothing is working- HAVE FAITH.
