  • What’s Inside The Garage?

    Yesterday I took my son, Cristian to the Ferrari dealer here in Coral Gables.  He is an exotic car buff and loves taking pictures of these cars. He networks with other kids his age from all over the world on some websites and they share pictures. In fact, he is going to start his own website for this and I am in the process of helping him set it up.

     A good friend’s neighbor is the general manager at The Collection. My friend had told him about his passion for exotic cars. He had told her to tell Cristian to pass by for an inside tour of Ferrari’s, Aston Martin’s, Maserati’s and the like. I finally made an appointment with his secretary to go there. Cristian rides his bike there all the time checking out the scene which is mainly all the spotless, shiny cars on display. But he never saw all the other departments. That is, until yesterday. The manager took us up through a secure elevator to reveal other goodies. There was the repair department, the parking station for used cars waiting for new owners and the cleaning station.   Cristian’s eye’s popped out. He had no idea that these areas existed. All he had seen was the sales department. (more…)

    A very nice woman and friend on Twitter, Maryan Pelland asked me to do a guest post on her blog last week. This is the first time I was asked to do this. I was so busy in the last week in my focus of  creating  income either with a job(base pay) or  my real estate work(commissions).

    When she reminded me on Tuesday, I went ahead at night to muster the energy to get inspired to write. That was the day before yesterday. It was my first day of giving it a try at a real estate brokerage company. When I got home my mind was dizzy with getting adjusted to someone else’s way of working and office environment.

    So, I relaxed for an hour and here is the post on her Woman Day By Day Blog  that came out of me after my light nap/meditation.  I was kind of proud of it, because my son Cristian is an exotic car buff and I thought he might get a kick out of the Ferrari metaphor. And since Ferrari’s run pretty fast,  I realized very quickly that this was not the best place or opportunity for me to work. At first the painted picture sounded good, but alas…..flaws were revealed pretty quickly.  I am not expecting perfection. It was something of integrity. I could be wrong, but my gut says I am probably right. So I am busy again like a bee, getting the engine ready to move in the direction that will support my household. I continue to trust and I know I will prevail. Probably, this pit stop will lead me to the next one closer to the finish line. (more…)
