Cold call planning is required to make your commercial real estate business grow faster.
In commercial real estate brokerage, the telephone should be your principal prospecting tool when it comes to generating meetings and new business opportunity.
Every day you can make plenty of new calls into your location to talk to the business leaders and the property owners that may one day need your services. The telephone is easy to use on a time basis as part of a prospecting model; it is not the only tool to use, but it is the most time and cost effective.
How do you make calls?
Relevance will help you convert more calls to meetings. Most of the new business that you create will be through those meetings and the establishment of your professional skills at a personal level. In some cases you will need to know plenty of people for a long period of time before they trust you enough to give you fresh leads and listing opportunities.
The property owners and the business owners that we connect with take time to understand the value of local market coverage and local market knowledge in property. It takes time for them to trust you, and also takes time for them to remember you at the right time when it comes to property activity.
LONG HAUL: This is not a short term solution. It is a long-term strategy and on that basis real effort and organisation will be required. Every day you will need to reach into the local area to find new people to talk to. That will require research and that research cannot be delegated. You understand your market better than anyone else. You understand the people that you should be talking to, so get involved with your prospecting activities and new business generation.
EXPERIENCED: Most of the clients and customers that we work with are experienced business people. They will generally take your call when it comes to cold call prospecting, however they will shut you down very quickly in the conversation if you are not professional in any way or form. Professional communication skills will help you grow your relevance and conversational ability. Understand the things that these clients and customers like to hear when it comes to local property activity and or opportunity. Information will help you open the door to opportunity. You can talk about the local property trends, prices, rentals, and recent listings. Feed these things into your cold calling activities.
SEEK FACTS: Ask the right questions at the right time. The people that you are connecting with will share information about property ownership and occupancy, providing you ask the right questions at the right time in the conversation. Respect the conversation for what it is, and that is an introduction at a professional level. Practice your call conversations each day so that your conversions will lift over time.
WHO ARE THEY?: Connect with the right people. Remember what you are trying to do here. Essentially you are looking to meet with the right people so that you can build that level of trust as the local property specialist. Commercial real estate is a long term proposition when it comes to new business and opportunity. The longer you stay in the industry and the more comprehensive your prospecting model, the greater the commissions and listings that you will create. The industry can be a career for a lifetime. Your clients can stick with you for a long period of time, and you can generate plenty of new business across sales, leasing, and property management. Understand the value that you bring to each and every client locally. Your information and your property knowledge is valuable.
LOCATIONAL: Use your local listings as a foundation of conversation. Any listing that you have within a location will be a good reason for you to talk to property investors and business proprietors. The same strategy also applies when it comes to door knocking and personal prospecting within a street near to the listings that you have currently. Use your local listings as leverage in building your prospecting model, the number of meeting conversions, and your data base. A good conversation will allow you to create plenty of information to enter into your database.
So these are simple yet effective things that will help you improve your telephone prospecting activities and results. Practice the simple things and improve on them each day.
Build your skills professionally so that you can make more calls every day, generate more meetings, and convert more listings from the meetings that you attend. Be the expert when it comes to property presentations at any time and on any basis.
Practice your property presentations are ready to go at any time, so that they can support you when the client sends out the right signals in any conversation or meeting regarding property needs or property challenges.

Selling via Text: Will We Be Closing Sales Deals With WhatsApp, SMS?
For as long as short message service (SMS) has been available, marketers have used it to hunt for prospective customers. It makes complete sense. After all, 98% of all sent text messages are opened, and 83% are opened within three minutes.
This means that in an era in which more and more people are skipping television commercials, choosing advertisement-free satellite radio, and downloading browser extensions to block online advertisements, SMS remains one of the few avenues that marketers can take to ensure that they’ll be able to reach their audience.
Additionally, whereas most other forms of electronic communication require a certain amount of action on the part of the recipient (to view an email, you have to be connected to the Internet, open your email inbox, and then select the new message to be read), text messages simply pop up on the mobile device, ready to be viewed.
Of course, in order for a marketer to be able to take advantage of these promising factors, certain important and jealously guarded bits of personal data need to first be acquired—namely, the customers’ mobile telephone numbers.
Unfortunately for marketers, many mobile device users are hesitant to give that information out and may even become angry and unwilling to do business if they feel that their personal, spam-free text space is being invaded by advertisements. With all of that in mind, let’s take a moment to consider any marketing implications of the staggeringly popular (and ever growing) WhatsApp.
If you haven’t already become acquainted with it, WhatsApp is an instant messaging service in the form of a free downloadable app. It allows users to send and receive not only text messages, but also images, video, and even audio media messages, and can also utilize integrated map features to display a user’s current location.
Using the app requires a subscription, which can be purchased for $1 per year (with the first year being free). Why would anyone bother? Well, while we here in the United States may be a bit spoiled in that we generally have unlimited SMS included in our mobile phone contracts, those outside of the Land of the Free-texting aren’t usually quite as lucky.
This is perhaps the main reason that WhatsApp has gained such a following outside of the States— the service has over 450 million active users, with a million new users being added daily. This may also have something to do with why Facebook was willing to drop $19 billion in order to acquire it.
But enough background, the real question for all of you pragmatists out there is this: how can I use WhatsApp in my marketing strategy?
When we talk about whether WhatsApp will ever be used for marketing purposes, it comes down to two things: the customer and the company.
Unless the customer decides to allow it, you aren't allowed to market to them, at least not in any conventional sense. However, will WhatsApp want to monetize via marketing? When WhatsApp was founded by Jan Koum, he made a pledge that his company’s product would remain focused on a pure messaging experience. He even keeps a note on his desk that serves as a constant reminder. It reads: "No ads! No games! No Gimmicks!"
Did you catch that part about no ads? That's all great, unless Facebook decides to make certain sweeping changes to WhatsApp's policy (which it has stated that it won’t be doing, for what it’s worth), the service will remain almost completely advertisement free. Why “almost?” Well, that’s because there is an opt-in feature that will allow users to receive direct-marketing messages from companies of their choice.
At first, this may seem like a problem. After all, how are you supposed to be able to prospect new clients if you can’t even send them a text without their permission? But ask yourself: just how effective is it to blindly send out commercial texts? At best, most recipients will simply text back STOP, effectively making it a punishable offence to continue contacting them via SMS.
At worst, personal crusades have developed over less-crucial issues than text spam. The opt-in feature ensures that you’ll only be contacting the people who are willing to consider your offer, thus saving you the time and effort that you would otherwise be spending trying to weed those people out from the crowd.
The true marketing advantage that presents itself with WhatsApp comes from the potential for businesses to expand their consumer base into areas that may not previously have been accessible. As we mentioned, WhatsApp is incredibly popular outside of the United States. Those marketers who adopt WhatsApp as a potential marketing tool will gain a major advantage.
Users in nations that don’t offer free SMS, such as India and Brazil, depend on WhatsApp’s easily-affordable service plan for their SMS communication needs. Thus, you’ll be able to expand your business to new frontiers, touching millions of lives in the process. Not only that, but given the personal nature of SMS, you’ll also be able to hone your approach to a razor’s edge, so that even among those millions of new leads, you can reach the specific audience that is most likely to respond to your efforts.
However, despite the new doors that WhatsApp could potentially open for marketers, the fact remains that any SMS marketing strategy should only be a part of larger plan. When combined with other inbound and outbound marketing plans, SMS has the opportunity to help you promote your products or services to those who might otherwise have fallen through the cracks, but SMS should never be your only focus.
So, what will WhatsApp change about the way your company does marketing? Not really all that much. However, for those who give it a chance, it could go a long way towards increasing the effectiveness of your current SMS campaign. That is, of course, unless Facebook reneges on its promise and turns WhatsApp into an easy source of valuable personal data (as some have suggested it has done with other programs in the past), in which case much of what makes WhatsApp attractive to users will be lost. Until that time, WhatsApp remains a great way to cheaply communicate and is a useful new tool in SMS marketing.

We have a regency romance novel in our early book spotlight this morning--along with an excerpt from the book. If you enjoy historical romance novels, check out The Duke Needs a Wife and learn a little about author Katy Walters.
On the untimely demise of her parents, Miss Cassandra Whitney endures abject poverty raising her siblings. She faces further torment as her landlord, the odious Baron Scudder, threatens her with eviction, if she refuses to assent to his offer of marriage to her younger sister Belle. As Cassandra fights to save her family, she inherits a titled estate and a ruin of a castle. News of Casandra’s inheritance travels fast, reaching the highest circles in the ton. The Dowager Duchess of Taunton immediately sees her as a worthy match for her son Maximillian the 6th Duke of Taunton a renowned rakehell. The dowager also plans to take control over the castle which would be a prestigious venue for her many balls and hunting weekends. However, neither Cassandra nor Maximillian has any desire to wed.
The Duke is more than inclined to enjoy his various mistresses without the entanglement of matrimony; besides his time is mainly caught up with horses, gaming and his club. What with her siblings, the estate and a ruin of a castle to renovate Cassandra could not possibly entertain the idea of courtship. Both did not anticipate the manipulative powers of the dowager who slyly arranges a meeting between them. On seeing Cassandra, Max is suitably impressed with her wit and ironic humour. Already tiring of one of his mistresses, she would be a welcome replacement. Although charmed with his handsome looks and seductive overtures, Cassandra puts him firmly in his place. Can Cassandra resist the devilish overtures of the Duke and the devious ploys of the dowager?
She was particularly close to her eldest child, as she lost two boys and a girl after him, none of them surviving their first year. She became almost paranoid, blaming all and sundry for their deaths, indeed she went so far as to blame the wet nurse. Upon inspection, she found the woman’s hands to be begrimed and fleas running freely through her skirts. Upon the chief nanny protesting that it would not harm the babe, the dowager dismissed her on the spot along with the wet nurse; two nurse maids soon followed. For some obscure reason the duchess took up, what was the latest fad, of washing not only the face and hands, but the entire body, including the unmentionable parts. Her poor servants were faced with washing their bodies once a day, and even rinsing their hair at least once a month.
My main loves are writing, painting and singing. I began work as a PA but to my joy was spotted by an agent in London and had an exciting career as a singer, meeting and singing with some wonderful people. Singing meant a lot of travelling both in the UK and abroad. At one time, I toured Germany and Turkey singing for the American troops, which was a fantastic experience. But then, my husband and I wanted a family, so I said good-bye to the singing career, although I did the occasional gig. Having children is such a precious time, and I would say to anyone, treasure it, it goes so quickly and before you know it, you’re waving them off to Uni or pursuing their own dreams and their own homes. I have always had a deep interest in psychology for various reasons, and especially the area of neurosis arising from abuse. Later, I was to study how we could use our body, mind and spirit to relieve pain and overcome some life-threatening diseases. One important thing here is, I always told my patients to continue with medical treatment along with the complementary and spiritual methods, for I believe medical research and medication is also a gift from God, Spirit or the Universe, as each of us wishes to name it.

The United States withdrew from U.N. Human Rights Council after slamming Russia, China, Cuba and Egypt for thwarting U.S. efforts to reform the Council.
VietPress USA (June 19, 2018): Today om Tuesday, June 19, 2018, the United States withdrew from the United Nations Human Rights Council over what it called chronic bias against Israel and a lack of reform, a move activists warned would make advancing human rights globally even more difficult.
Human Rights Watch executive director Ken Roth said: "The U.N. Human Rights Council has played an important role in such countries as North Korea, Syria, Myanmar and South Sudan, but all Trump seems to care about is defending Israel".
Washington's withdrawal is the latest U.S. rejection of multilateral engagement after it pulled out of the Paris climate agreement and the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
It also comes as the United States faces intense criticism for detaining children separated from their immigrant parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. U.N. human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein on Monday called on Washington to halt its "unconscionable" policy.
WASHINGTON/UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States withdrew from a "hypocritical and self-serving" United Nations Human Rights Council on Tuesday over what it called chronic bias against Israel and a lack of reform, a move activists warned would make advancing human rights globally even more difficult.
Standing with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at the State Department, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley slammed Russia, China, Cuba and Egypt for thwarting U.S. efforts to reform the council. She also criticized countries which shared U.S. values and encouraged Washington to remain, but "were unwilling to seriously challenge the status quo."
"Look at the council membership, and you see an appalling disrespect for the most basic rights," said Haley, citing Venezuela, China, Cuba and Democratic Republic of Congo. She did not mention Saudi Arabia, which rights groups pushed to be suspended in 2016 over killings of civilians in the Yemen war.
Among reforms the United States had pushed for was to make it easier to kick out member states with egregious rights records. Currently a two-thirds majority vote by the 193-member U.N. General Assembly is needed to suspend a member state.
Haley also said the "disproportionate focus and unending hostility toward Israel is clear proof that the council is motivated by political bias, not by human rights." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the U.S. decision.
The United States has long shielded its ally Israel at the United Nations. In citing what it says is bias against Israel, the administration of President Donald Trump could further fuel Palestinian arguments that Washington cannot be a neutral mediator as it prepares to roll out a Middle East peace plan. Washington also relocated its embassy to Jerusalem after recognizing it as the capital of Israel, reversing decades of U.S. policy.
The United States is half-way through a three-year term on the 47-member Geneva-based body and the Trump administration had long threatened to quit if it was not overhauled.
Rights groups have criticized the Trump administration for not making human rights a priority in its foreign policy. Critics say this sends a message that the administration turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in some parts of the world.
"Given the state of human rights in today's world, the U.S. should be stepping up, not stepping back," Zeid said after Haley announced the U.S. withdrawal.
Reuters reported last week that talks on reforming the council had failed to meet Washington's demands, suggesting the Trump administration would quit.
"The Human Rights Council enables abuses by absolving wrongdoers through silence and falsely condemning those that committed no offense," Pompeo said.
Diplomats have said the U.S. withdrawal could bolster countries such as Cuba, Russia, Egypt and Pakistan, which resist what they see as U.N. interference in sovereign issues.
Haley said the withdrawal "is not a retreat from our human rights commitments."
Twelve rights and aid groups, including Human Rights First, Save the Children and CARE, warned Pompeo the U.S. withdrawal would "make it more difficult to advance human rights priorities and aid victims of abuse around the world."
Jamil Dakwar, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Human Rights Program, said Trump's "misguided policy of isolationism only harms American interests."
The EU said Washington's decision "risks undermining the role of the U.S. as a champion and supporter of democracy on the world stage." British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said it was regrettable and that the council was the "best tool the international community has to address impunity."
The Human Rights Council meets three times a year to examine human rights violations worldwide. It has mandated independent investigators to look at situations including Syria, North Korea, Myanmar and South Sudan. Its resolutions are not legally binding but carry moral authority.
When the Council was created in 2006, U.S. President George W. Bush's administration shunned the body.
Under President Barack Obama the United States was elected for a maximum two consecutive terms on the council by the U.N. General Assembly. After a year off, Washington was re-elected in 2016 for its current third term.
U.N. officials said the United States would be the first member to withdraw from the council.
Haley said a year ago that Washington was reviewing its membership. The body has a permanent standing agenda item on suspected violations committed by Israel in the occupied Palestinian territories that Washington wanted removed.
The council last month voted to probe killings in Gaza and accused Israel of using excessive force. The United States and Australia cast the only "no" votes.
"The U.N. Human Rights Council has played an important role in such countries as North Korea, Syria, Myanmar and South Sudan, but all Trump seems to care about is defending Israel," said Human Rights Watch executive director Ken Roth.

Mount Shasta from Black Butte on June 22, 2011.
The Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway is a great idea for educating people about the natural and human history of the Cascade Range. It covers a huge chunk of my home territory: it begins at Lake Almanor just south of Lassen Volcanic National Park, continues through the park, passes Lassen National Forest’s Hat Creek Rim and Burney Falls, heads to Mount Shasta, crosses the southern end of the Shasta Valley (my home), rolls past Dorris, and then hits the wildlife refuge area along the California-Oregon border before continuing up to Crater Lake.
The Volcanic Legacy Community Partnership (VLCP) announces the release of the draft Interpretive Plan for the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway All American Road (called the Byway). The draft Interpretive Plan will guide the development of interpretive sites and messages along the California portion of the Byway.
The 500 mile Byway celebrates the spectacular scenery of the volcanic landscapes between Crater Lake, Oregon, and Lake Almanor in California. Interpretive plans for most of the Byway were completed between 1990 and 2007. This draft Interpretive Plan completes planning for remaining portions of the Byway from Lake Almanor, Susanville to Burney as well as the Highway 161 section from Dorris to the Tule Lake area. The draft plan identifies specific sites, guidelines and media recommendations for guiding visitor experiences for portions of the Byway traversing through Lassen National Forest, Lassen Volcanic National Park, Klamath Falls Lower Refuge, Tule Lake, and Lava Beds National Monument and World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument.
Most people will want to look at the proposed interpretive site descriptions for their Byway area. This is especially important to ensure the proposed sites are acceptable, other sites have not been missed, and the interpretive messages convey the information local communities would like Byway travelers to have.
For more information about the draft Interpretive Plan, please call Elizabeth Norton, Volcanic Legacy Community Partnership, at 530-251-7368 or Christopher O’Brien, Lassen National Forest Public Services Staff Officer at 530-252-6698.
Thanks for posting this! Thanks for your input!
Glad to help out Allison. Feel free to send me press releases/info in the future.
Thanks John, I will!!! Hey I just tried to contact you through FB…I cannot find a number for you. The Volcanic Legacy office is 530-926-5439. I have a question regarding an outdoor writing contest.

The Cleveland branch of NAACP turns 100 this year and the group continues to fight for civil rights for Northeast Ohio residents.
The national group was founded in 1909 in New York by civil rights icons W.E.B. Du Bois, Ida B. Wells-Barnett and others, who worked with white liberals in support of equal and civil rights. They wanted to stop the practice of lynching and sought to have people of color protected under the law.
1942 - L.O. Baumgardner, M.D.
1944 - Nathan K. Christopher, D.D.DS.
1953 - James E. Levy, D.D.S.
1973 - Reverend Charles P. Lucas, Jr.
1981 - Sylvester Sanford Davis, M.D.
The Cleveland branch was organized in 1912 by a group of seven postal workers, a cook, caterer, machinist, engineer, tailor, barber and a janitor. Among them was Francis E. Young, a postal clerk who graduated from Brown University and practiced law, and Roddy K. Moon, a federal meat inspector who was elected as the group's first president.
It reported a membership of 214 when members attended the NAACP's first national convention in 1914.
Founding members fought discrimination blacks suffered at public establishment's such as the YMCA, YWCA and Luna amusement park, according to historical records.
In the 1920s and 1930s, the group helped to influence statewide and national elections. Members were able get black councilmen elected and fought for minorities to be admitted into Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital, now known as MetroHealth Medial Center.
In 1924, Du Bois gave a speech at Fisk University in Nashville where he talked about progress the chapter made in Cleveland.
"In northern Ohio there is the city of Cleveland. For fifty years the colored group in Cleveland has fought for municipal recognition and equality and it has accomplished a splendid work," Du Bois stated.
"Our great colored author, Charles W. Chesnutt, is a member of one of the leading literary and social clubs. A colored lawyer, Harry Davis, is a member of the Cleveland City Club and long has served in the Ohio legislature. We have colored councilmen. We have colored teachers in the public schools who teach without segregation or discrimination. There is not a single "Jim Crow" institution in the city, and this is because with fifty years' fighting we have achieved real democracy in Cleveland."
Chesnutt, a black novelist, was the first person from the Cleveland to win the Spingarn Medal, the group's most prestigious award, in 1928.
View full sizeNAACP Cleveland ChapterCleveland was the host city for the NAACP's annual session in 1929. The photo was taken outside of Mount Zion Temple in Cleveland on June 26, 1929. In the first row, fifth from the left, W.E.B. Du Bois hold his brimmed hat.
In 1936, the Cleveland branch along with other NAACP branches in the state campaigned against Idaho Sen. William Borah, a Republican presidential candidate, who did not believe blacks should be able to vote and opposed anti-lynching laws, according to a book about the history of the organization.
Regennia Williams, a professor at Cleveland State University, who teaches African-American history, said the group didn't always agree, but was able to get things done to help minorities. She wrote a dissertation about how the group fought for education rights for blacks between 1915 to 1930.
"The early NAACP membership always did not agree with each other, but they did agree there were a lot of people of color in this community whose lives could be and should be improved, and they worked at it."
During the 1940s and 1950s, membership grew to around 11,000. During that time, the group fought against job discrimination and represented black and Jewish workers who were fired and charged by the government for disloyalty. The group helped salvage some of the jobs.
Though blacks in Ohio did not face the same degree of danger as many blacks in the South, they still faced racism, local members said.
Bishop F.E. Perry, 82, second vice president of the local chapter, moved to Cleveland from Birmingham, Ala., when he was 12. He said he first got involved in the NAACP as a youth and said it was a part of his upbringing.
"I went to meetings as a boy and I can remember when my parents put signs up encouraging people to vote," Perry said. "By the time I was 18, my father put me to work."
Former NAACP president Rev. Charles Lucas, whose father, Charles Sr., was the director organization in the 1940s, said he remembers a time as a child when a cross was burned in his yard by whites who opposed the organization.
"The community got stirred up about that," Lucas said. "It made them want to work to make things fair for all people."
At the Cleveland unit's peak in the mid-1960s, it had nearly 20,000 members. They fought for admittance in downtown department stores and restaurants, equal employment opportunities and fair housing.
But the numbers shrank through the late 1960s and 1980s as some efforts were not widely supported in the black community. Some members left and started black organizations that had different viewpoints on how civil rights should be attained.
In 1969, the local chapter supported a boycott of McDonald's. Some members in the chapter did not support the boycott because of some of the activists involved, though it prompted fast food chains to let black investors buy franchises.
Another split occurred in 1973 when the chapter sued the Cleveland school system for segregation. Some members were not in favor of the effort because they didn't think it was beneficial for their children to be bused across town.
When retired Judge Sara J. Harper was the Cleveland NAACP president in the early 80s, the group fought against strip-searches by police of female NAACP members who were arrested for minor traffic infractions.
The local NAACP has had 32 presidents in is history. The longest serving of those was George Forbes, former Cleveland City Council president, who led the chapter from 1993 to 2012. Forbes is credited with bringing revenue into the organization and negotiating with business leaders to support interests that benefit blacks.
But the longtime president has also been criticized for using his role in the organization for personal gain and not fighting against people he did business with through his law firm.
The centennial anniversary will be marked during the civil rights group's annual Freedom Fund gala Saturday and will also be recognized during the NAACP State Convention that starts Thursday in Cleveland.

Have you ever read a book that hit you right in the moment, that answered every question or wonder you were imagining? For me, that was “Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert, who also wrote “Eat, Pray, Love.” I never read the latter book, but the former is everything I could have been hoping for as I have been in a mindset considering creativity over the past several weeks. The day after I wrote the post about the importance of giving yourself permission, I read a chapter in the book about giving yourself permission. It was like the world was coming together for me in support of creative endeavors!
Creativity involves bringing original ideas to life. I don’t consider myself an artist, with paint or clay or any special materials or medium, but a creator who translates my ideas into words on a page (or a screen). If you’re a reader, you’ll understand that there is artistry to the written word (though I am not trying to claim artistry here!). Artistry and creativity do take many forms. My coloring skills would leave something to be desired! What do you create with?
When you think of creativity in its form of turning ideas into reality, the wider doors open to what it means to be creative. If you think about the concept of innovation, which is a highly creative activity, it isn’t about creating something completely new, but rather changing how something is used, manufactured, sold, transported – basically, innovation is a variation on a theme. A new look at something “old”. With all that technology has brought us, from the telegraph to the telephone to the cell phone to the smart phone, someone was creative enough to imagine something differently and find the ways to execute on it.
That might be the key to creativity – that we have to take action on our ideas. Thinking and journaling and talking mean nothing without follow through and implementation or experimentation. How can you consider yourself a creative person if you haven’t put pen to paper or molded something physically? Starting, no matter how good or bad the idea seems, is an important part of the process. Admittedly, I haven’t taken a lot of action yet on my ideas. My hope is to solve problems that impact business performance and how people live their lives. What can be done differently? Or better? The enemy of creativity in action is hearing “this is how it has always been done.” To me, this is a rallying cry that we can find a better way, and it spawns moments deep in thought of how to try to take things to the next level.
If you have ever read anything by James Altucher, you’ll know that he is a proponent of coming up with 10 ideas each day to turn yourself into an “idea machine”, the thought being that ideas beget ideas, and that as coming up with 10 becomes more routine, you’ll have more to draw from to execute on.
This is where I find the power of practice comes in with creativity. You can’t be an expert from the start. Even the masters, as talented as they are and were, need to refine their skill and, I think this is most important, experiment with style, direction, intent, and approach. The experimentation can be purely organic, or can be inspired – by other people, others works, something completely different, nature, and beyond. Opening yourself up to opportunity and seeing the world, or even just your neighborhood, in new lights can encourage you to think in different ways and approach your creativity and execution differently.
Here are a few of the easy ways I make attempts to open up my world. On many occasions I am finding my inspiration for ideas. Just yesterday, during a morning workout around the neighborhood, I was inspired about a whole bunch of ideas to write about that you’ll see in coming weeks.
Reading opens many doors for me to ideas and creation. I tend to read more non-fiction than fiction, but for every two to three non fiction books I read, I do read a fiction book to reset my mind and escape into another world.
Writing everything down, and going back to it. Sometimes it is just ideas, and sometimes a full post that doesn’t feel right, and sometimes it is from journaling.
Walking instead of driving, or, riding in the passenger seat. This allows a new perspective. When we drive, it all goes by so quickly, even with lowered speed limits in many towns.
Listening to podcasts. Getting a new perspective or even a twist on my current perspective can make me think of something new I want to try.
But when I get out into the world, and have one idea, usually another spawns from it. And another. And yet another! It goes back to what I mentioned above on practice. What happens when you are overwhelmed in the best way by a million ideas? This is a great problem to have! How do you capture the ideas when they are flowing so quickly? It is a rush to write things down.
In what other ways do you capture your ideas?
The biggest trouble I have with my own ideas is the struggle choosing which ideas I should pursue. I end up doing nothing, instead of something. My almost-creative ideas live (or die) in a journal moleskine notebook, or maybe a spiral bound from CVS. I should do more so that I can fail, or even be overwhelmingly successful beyond all of my expectations. Is it human to be able to fear our success, more than our failures? That may be a discussion topic for another time!
How do you come up with your ideas? Has practicing any particular technique over time helped you get better? What do you so that you get started on your ideas?
Though am not creative, walking does trigger that flow of thought. Of course, reading and observing are equally important. I have always been enamored by creativity and I think creative people have an in built way of lateral thinking if you may. I would definitely like to read Big Magic.

Hi! I'm Courtney! Proud wife to my pastor husband, Miles, mama to our baby girls, Anniston Kate (2) and Elliott Grace (born in December 2018), and living in sweet home Alabama!
I'm a Jesus follower, "retired" teacher, and now full time mom. My husband and I uprooted our comfy little lives in Atlanta a few years ago to move to Auburn, Alabama. Following that move we started Auburn Community Church and a couple years later, started our family as well!
I'm a nerd at heart with a deep love for books, but I have an unhealthy passion for fashion as well. I'm a wannabe fitness enthusiast, lover of coffee, and can't say no to a warm chocolate chip cookie.
I created this blog to jot down my journey of the pastor wife/mom life (and everything between) and how much I couldn't do either without the constant grace of God.

This report covers the exchange, key learnings and recommendations of leaders and activists from Irish and South African organisations representing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people (LGBTIs) at a retreat, sponsored by Atlantic, near Cape Town in March 2010.
In March 2010, The Atlantic Philanthropies (AP) hosted an exchange between leadership and activists from Irish and South African organisations representing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people (LGBTIs) at Hout Bay near CapeTown in South Africa.
Since 2001, AP has been a major supporter of LGBTI organisationsin both the Republic of Ireland and South Africa, following a strategic scoping exercise that identified the need to promote and support full citizenship for LGBTIs in both countries.The exercise found that LGBTI communities were politically marginal in terms of access to human and socio-economic rights.
In both countries, AP support built upon political and economic conditions that favoured reform. In South Africa, there was the transition from apartheid to democracy, starting in 1994, with a new Constitution guaranteeing equality before the law for all marginalised groups, including LGBTIs. In the Republic of Ireland, sustained economic growth in the early 1990s was accompanied by political liberalisation and changing social attitudes, including the decriminalisation of homosexuality.
What have been the strengths and weaknesses of the strategies pursued?
What are the challenges that remain?
The discussions were not intended as a status report on both countries, nor a comprehensive analysis of strategy or progress to date. The retreat was more a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas and provoke discussion, rather than to draw any firm conclusions about future directions or priorities.
The Synthesis Report draws out the key findings, conclusions and recommendations arising from the discussion and debate over the two days of the retreat. It is a stand-alone document for those who do not have the time to read the entire report.
Part 1 provides a history and background to LGBTI activism in the Republic of Ireland, including an overview of the issues facing the community today.
Part 2 does the same for South Africa.Those not familiar with conditions in either country are encouraged to read parts 1 and 2, but this is not essential.
Part 3 is a detailed record of the discussions that took place at the retreat. It is the core of the report and is rich with information and insights that we hope will inform discussion and debate inother countries and settings. Many of the observations about engaging in advocacy and building coalitions apply to other human rights struggles, not only those of LGBTIs.
Part 4 is a conclusion summarising key learning and making recommendations for future exchanges between LGBTIs in the two countries.The organisers hope that the report serves as a resource for organisations and groups thinking through strategies for social justice.
We have also provided a list of participants and their contact details and a glossary of terms.

UK supermarket Morrisons, is going to be launching a new range of frozen vegan ready meals alongside other products. The new line comes as a result of the supermarket makes efforts to keep up with the popularity of plant-based diets, and to appeal to consumer demand.
Morrisons chief executive, David Potts, spoke to the Guardian and said that they are trying to target young consumers in particular, but also reach a wider audience. Morrisons acknowledge that younger generations are the demographic who are looking for vegan food especially, with a greater need for a variety of products.
The new range is expected to hit stores in October, however, the retailer has shared reviews of what consumers can expect. A bean-based ‘non carne’, ‘veggies in blankets’ and plant-based cheeses are going to be joining the line of vegan products available in stores. The flavours of vegan cheese are reportedly similar to red Leicester, and a product similar to cheddar.
Morrisons currently stocks brands such as Linda McCartney, Quorn, Fry’s and VBites. All of the new vegan products are clearly labelled, which is also in line with Animal Aid’s #MarkItVegan campaign. The retailer has some products labelled as suitable for vegans, however, the range is designed for people who avoid animal products, or for those who are looking to reduce their intake of meat or animal products.

Just a quick look at things I gave found universally true, at least in my limited experience.
Forbidden food will never tast as good in reality as it does in your memory.
Alternate cures will almost never work as well as you hope.
Oncologists will almost never know as much as you about healthy eating.
Oncologists will never care as much as you think they will about your choices and will almost never support you as much as you would like.
Despite many people saying that you have to remain positive this is not possible. It is only possible to remain real, always being true to how you feel.
Most alternate cures take time. Do not be discouraged by early setbacks.

It is a brave person who can stand up for what they believe.
Bro, I just want to reiterate that even though I am far away, anytime you want day or night you can call me. Not a day goes past where I don’t wish I was able to see and chat to you. I miss seeing you more than words can properly express. I completely agree with you about being true to how you feel. That is one principle I try to uphold, and that is why it would be wrong to stay silent.
Great universal truths Jerome … especially the last one, and it is often the hardest one to actually act on.
And I’ll add one more: The people who love you want to be leaned on. It helps them as well as it helps the leaner!

In February 2018, the B.C. government announced a three-year $1-billion investment through the Childcare BC plan – the most significant child care investment in B.C.'s history.
A key goal under Childcare BC is to improve the quality of B.C.’s child care system through enhanced supports for early childhood educators (ECEs) and other child care professionals. Quality will be achieved by enhancing training and development opportunities, as well as addressing the issue of wages and recruitment in the sector.
ECE Wage Enhancement: Starting in early 2019, ECEs working in licensed child care facilities that have opted in to the Child Care Fee Reduction will receive a wage enhancement of $1 per hour, followed by another $1-per-hour increase in April 2020.
Post-secondary seat expansion: In order to increase training and development opportunities for ECEs throughout the province, the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training is investing $7.4 million over three years to fund an additional 620 early childhood educator graduates at B.C.’s public post-secondary institutions.
Investments under Childcare BC are complemented by the B.C. government’s three-year, $153-million ELCC agreement with the Government of Canada, which was signed in February 2018. The following outlines ELCC investments in addition to the $16.3 million for quality child care, the $60 million for Childcare BC Universal Prototype Sites, and the $13.7 million for new spaces through UBCM.

In a company’s financial statements, profit is one potentially very important information for both internal and external parties. Earnings information contained in the company’s financial statements has several important functions, among others, to assess management performance, to help estimate the earnings capacity of a representative in the long run, and to assess the risk of investment or lending funds (Kirschenheiter and Melumad, 2004). Because profits are so influential in this information, it is often the management take action to modify the return information to generate the desired information in order to achieve its own goals. The action was known to the management earnings (earnings management).
One of the efforts undertaken to reduce earnings management, among others, by applying good corporate governance (corporate governance). Several studies have been done related to the establishment of independent regulatory board and the establishment of an audit committee as a step in the implementation of good corporate governance, as an act of suppression management practices in corporate earnings. Chtorou et al. (2001) found that companies with larger board size to a smaller profit management. Baridwan (2002) states that audit committees have an important role in good corporate governance. Millstein (1999) in his study stated that good corporate governance practices shows that the formation of audit committees as a central point in improving the quality of financial reporting. In addition, Bapepam also confirmed that the audit committee, is helping the board of commissioners to oversee the operations of the company.
Special emphasis on the characteristics of the audit committee as an object of research, several studies have also been carried out. Klein (2000) conducted a study on the effects of the characteristics of the audit committee and board of directors to the practice of earnings management. The study concluded that the negative relationship between independence of audit committees with management earnings. Beasley (1996) in his study stated that the audit committee that is more independent of the influence of management will be better in overseeing the financial reporting process. Meanwhile Parulian (2004) conducted a study on the relationship between the implementation of good corporate governance, which diproksi with the audit committee and the commissioners are independent of earnings management with an assessment of the audit committee and independent commissioners based on the completeness of membership, and stated if the role of audit committees and independent commissioner is not effective in supervision of financial reporting or suppression of earnings management practices.

Of all the things that are striking in my house, the huge record collections that occupy a corner of my room is the most conspicuous. You see, I have had to collect these records for a decade now.
And this is something that is evident on both my shelves and also on my bank accounts. Indeed, Discogs estimate the worth of my collection to be a staggering $15,000. I would say that I may be spending around $50 to $200 each month on records alone.
In addition to that, I usually spend at least $10 each month on Spotify premium. Such a subscription allows me to take advantage of the great collection of the records that are available on the shelves. And you know, both the analog and digital ones interest me a lot, and I listen to all of them.
Perhaps, you might wonder why I spend money on these outdated mediums instead of utilizing great products on my Spotify account. Here is why I would kill for these collections.
First, having a record gives me that connection that I need to music itself. You see, vinyl is a physical experience. Fundamentally, records carry music that is carved into them. In fact, you can hear the music itself coming out of the record itself, especially when your stereo is off.
What is more, the record can carry so much music on one side. In most cases, vinyl records can carry at least 22 minutes of sound. If you have to keep on listening to the music, you may need to walk to the record player and flip it over. Turntables aren’t portable, and so you may need to be near your record player – and that is what brings about the sense of connectedness.
The sound may not offer you much convenience. You need to ensure that you are very keen on the music. For me, I feel that I’m more engaged when listening on my records than when listening on the Spotify on my car.
It can be awesome listening to the records. There is an amazing feeling that comes with the aesthetics of the turntables. And more essentially, there is a great sense of satisfaction when you have to flip through the many records and locate the type that you want – unlike the search bar on your Spotify.
And I would say this: a sizeable collection of records can do great things with your credibility. I have become a self-made music guru, something that offers me a sustainable self-esteem. In fact, I have had to express great affirmations to myself: “you are valuable,” “you are loved,” “and you have a remarkable record collection.

The boardwalk was quiet. No rumble of golf carts. No chatter of walkers passing by. I dodged a couple of spider webs along the way, all worth it, because this path through the mangroves gives way to beautiful.

Somewhere between loads of laundry and unloading the dishwasher I decided there was no better way to celebrate the first day of summer than to start and end my day with my toes in the sand. I decided on a different spot, one of my other favorites. Lot #3. Chipotle to-go only added to its charm.
Beautiful!!! You sure do know how to enjoy every moment…I need to take lessons from you.
i'm a new england girl, heart and soul... but florida has become part of me over the last 23 years, and it has become home. so here i am. daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend... writer.
i often wonder if that last part is real... i never really knew i was a writer. but the words keep coming. i write to share the gifts that God has showered me with, not to focus on the gifts, but on the grace. i write to make room for more in my mind and heart, and to remember. and when i think maybe the grace words have been used up, He tucks a few more into my soul and i keep writing.
