June’s Magnificent 7 Consumer Articles

Nommag72008_2Larry Cragun is at it again…reading thousands of posts and determining which one’s cut the mustard to be nominated for his monthly Magnificent 7.   At the end of the year, he has the gynormous task of reviewing his monthly nominees from 2008 and narrowing all 84 post down to the Magnificent 7 of 2008.   I’m thankful he does this because, as much reading as I do, Larry always seems to find important consumer focused articles that I’ve missed.

It’s always an honor to be considered one of the Magnificent 7 and for June Have You Co-Signed For a Mortgage? was recognized.

Do check out my fellow nominees by visiting Real Estate Undressed…and please thank Larry for his dedication.

April 3, 2008 is “Good People Day” Pass It On!

I’m a big fan of Gary Vaynerchuck for many reasons:

  1. He’s hysterically funny.
  2. He reviews wine in common easy to understand terms.
  3. He’s mastered web marketing 2.0
  4. He just seems like a real nice guy.  Here’s proof:

Gary has declared today as "Good People Day"…a day to recognize all the good in people instead of focusing on all the negative that often surrounds us. 

I’m so fortunate to have so many wonderful people in my life and I thank you all from family, friends, clients, my blog readers, fellow bloggers, the many people who help us in our business transactions and daily life…I can go on and on and on.   The world is a great place and I thank Gary for reminding us of this and a big tip of the hat to Morgan Brown of Blown Mortgage–both Good People!   My heartfelt thanks to all of you.

Share the love and spread the word: today is Good People Day.
