Happy SMART Day Everyone!

Many years ago when Thom and I first entered the real estate field we discovered a motivational speaker named Zig Ziglar.  Old even then, Zig was a guy that bounced around onstage and told stories about one thing or another all designed to get us off our butts and out there living our dreams.  Sure, some of it was pretty corny, but that was part of his charm.  And yes, some of the stories were good—really good.  So much so that even now, many years later, I remember Zig very well AND, I cherish a particular idea that he shared that is sure to be part of my life forever.

Happy SMART Day everyone!

A key part of SMART Living 365 is sharing—and because I find so much great information on the Internet, why not share some of the best resources I can find with all of you?  That’s why I plan to provide a link to other websites that are helping to increase the quality of my life, others lives, and make a difference on the planet.   In other words, I believe visiting these websites on a regular basis (just like this one!) can help you create a SMART Life 365.
