The American Spirit and Attitude Will Save the Economy

In my opinion the news this week is telling us the attitude of the American consumer, and it’s not good. Reported today in the SJR Marketplace section (11-15-08) is that retail sales fell by the largest amount on record. What grabbed my attention was the decline was greater than the decline following the attacks of 9-11-01. Are the problems the American consumer faces today greater than on 9-11?

Consumer spending is the fuel that drives the economy. The ripple effect as businesses cut inventories due to lower demand from consumers, results in job losses in the production sector. Fewer jobs means fewer home buyers at a time when there is a near record number of homes for sale.

Money Magazine named the top 100 cities to live in the country this past week. Springfield Illinois was not on the list. However the report stated that the number of jobs in Springfield grew by 5% between 2000 and 2007. Kind of reminds me of those turtles featured in the ad promoting high speed Internet.

It appears from these reports that the economy will continue to slow down. How should we react to this reality? I for one will continue to do the best job I can to help local home sellers get sold, and local home buyers find the right home at a fair price. I choose not to be part of the slow down.

This is what I recommend each of you do. Whatever your chosen profession, be the best you can be. Productivity will be key to turning this economy around. Productivity begins with your attitude.

We continue to see the effects of the slowing economy in all areas, private and public. Illinois Comptroller Dan Hynes reported this week that due to falling tax revenues the state is behind $4 billion in payments to state vendors, which could increase to $5 billion by March, and that it is taking 20 weeks to pay a bill once received. Lord knows how long the billing was held before reaching the comptrollers office. As a result many health care providers are now refusing medicaid patients.

This impacts the local economy as service providers and vendors for the state go unpaid, and must borrow to make payroll to continue to stay in business. This may likely lead to additional job cut backs for these vendors, if not entire business failures. It’s hard to stay in business when your client doesn’t pay.

The impact of the slowing economy is showing in the local housing market. I reported here last week that in spite of home listings going under contract falling by double digits three straight months, closed sales were holding steady. The falling sales pending are apparently catching up as closed sales the first half of November are down by over 31%.

So far this year the number of closed home sales is down by 12.2%, or by 439 home sales. This is tracking for around 3500 home sales following 4 consecutive years that surpassed 4000 annually. This is not a collapse, however it is painful to hundreds of home sellers.

Do not be dismayed! Opportunities abound for families in the market to buy a home. The inventory of homes for sale stands at 1875 today, a six and a half month supply as we enter the historically slowest selling season of the year. Do you think serious home sellers aren’t prepared to deal with you?

The opportunity for home buyers that desire to buy new construction is the best in years. The Springfield Illinois market is on pace for 220 to 230 new home sales in 2008, down nearly 33% from the high of 339 set in 2005. The 168 listings of new construction available for sale today represents an 8.6 month inventory. The opportunity to make a deal with a home builder has never been better!

Yes these are tenuous economic times, however we shall survive, and might I suggest there will even be those that thrive. I choose to be in the thrive category. I hope you make the same decision. If we all collectively decide to do our best at our chosen professions, to be as productive as possible, then the local economy can prosper.

With Veterans Day occurring this past week I am reminded of a commander during the Korean War. With 300 troops, low on ammunition, in below freezing temperatures, and surrounded by over 10,000 Chinese soldiers, what did this commander say to his troops? “They can’t get away from us now!” Or the commander during the time of the Battle of the Bulge when surrounded and vastly outnumbered by the Germans when the Americans received an ultimatum of surrender now or everyone dies. What was the American commander’s response? “Aw nuts!”

That’s the American spirit in action. We face far less daunting challenges. “Opportunity can’t get away from us now!”, and “Aw Nuts” let’s get to work!

This is economic war. With the proper attitude, the rekindling of the American spirit, and dedication to be the best you can be, prosperity for all can be achieved. In this regard President elect Obama is correct, the economy will be saved from the bottom up. It is up to each of us individually as to how we will react to the circumstances of today. What do you choose to do?

3 Mistakes To Avoid When Repairing Your Credit

Credit repair can be a tedious process and you may tempt to take short cuts here and there. This is where mistakes are being made which can cause you to delay the progress.

Here are three mistakes that you take note and avoid:

1) Not taking the trouble to track your progress

Many people went about repairing their credit without proper planning and tracking. In order to keep track of your progress and motivate yourself to keep going forward, you need to set goals and keep track of what you are doing.

A goal such as “I will improve my credit score” is far too broad. A smaller and more specific goal, such as “I will talk to my bank about reducing interest rate this Friday”, is far more effective. It is also more manageable and clear.

Plan and writing your goals on a calendar or planner. Review them everyday to motivate yourself to keep working on your credit repair. If you review how far you have come on a weekly or monthly basis, you can feel yourself in control of the process and have a clear picture what need to be done.

2) Neglecting the small details

When repairing your credit, small things matter. Little mistakes like misquoting your social insurance number or misspell your name can make a big difference. The credit bureaus are swarmed with huge amount of data on a daily basis, so do not expect them to do any cross checking for you.

Make sure you fill out each financial form accurately. You do want a case of mixed up identity to derail the efforts you have put into your credit repair.

3) Believing that small changes in credit scores does not matter

A change of a few points on a credit score can mean you get the best rate reserved for customers with excellent credit score or the worse interest rate offered to sub-prime customers.

A few point changes may translate to only a few percentages change in different loan rates but this can make a huge impact for large purchase such as a house. If you are taking out a long-term mortgage loan of several hundred thousands dollars with fixed interest rate, this few percentage points can mean tens of thousands of dollars saved or overspent.

What you want to do is to boost your credit score by every percentage point you can so that you can qualify for the lowest interest rate loans available. If you have larger payments each month due to a higher interest rate, then it will be harder for you to pay your bills. So it is to your advantage to try and increase as many points as possible.

Make Difficult Conversations Less Difficult By Stepping Off the Moral High Ground

I doubt whether you have ever opened a conversation with the words: I know that I am more to blame for this than you are; I know I do not have all the facts; and I know that what I am about to say makes no sense at all!

One of the hardest parts of planning for a difficult conversation is to think through how your own behaviour may have contributed to the problem. Think of some typical examples.

You are a manager and one of your employees is not making his target. Your manager is pushing you to achieve the target for your department. All it takes is that everyone pulls their weight, but this one person is letting you down. He is causing the problem.

But is he entirely to blame? Are you sure you have made the target clear? Has he ever reached the target? Did you give him positive feedback when he succeeded? Do you give him immediate feedback when he does not make target? Have you ensured he has all the resources he needs to get the job done? There is any number of ways that you, the manager, could be part of this problem.

Think of a family situation. Your teenage son, who now has a driving license and has been allowed to drive your car, comes home way after the times you agree. He started out by being only fifteen minutes late, then thirty, now it is often an hour or even more. You have spoken to him, said that you worry when he is late and he promised to be on time. But he comes in later and later.

Can you see that you are part of this problem by allowing the deadline to slip further and further out? You have allowed him to come home late without any effective sanction, so you have taught him that your standards are flexible. He has learned that he can stretch them, and can do so without consequence.

When you step into a conversation convinced that you are in the right and that the other person is wrong and is entirely the cause of the problem, you feel as if you own the moral high ground. Clearly, if the other person would just see things and do things your way, there would not be a problem. So when you raise the issue with them, you tell them what you see happening, you explain how strongly you feel about it, and then you tell them what you want them to do about it.

All you need is their agreement to your solution, and since you are pushing so hard for it, the easiest thing for them to do is to agree. And they do! You think you have obtained their commitment, and you expect that they will change their ways. Which they do not!

So you broach the subject again, only this time you explain the problem more forcibly, you say more strongly how you feel, and you threaten dire consequences if they do not do something about it.

At best, things will improve for a time, then relapse.

Going into conversations in the belief that the other person is entirely responsible for the problem, and with the intention of getting them to fix it by agreeing to do things your way, has little hope of obtaining the behaviour change that you want. In situations where you do not have any power or authority, this conversational style has no chance of success at all.

Think how ineffective it would be in a conversation with your mother-in-law over her interference in how you raise your children, with your boss when you think you have been unfairly treated, or in a conversation with a friend whom you feel has behaved inconsiderately.

In preparing for conversations on issues like these, you need to realize that feeling strongly about something does not mean that you are in the right about it! Maybe you had strong feelings but you did not speak up, and you have helped create the problem by giving tacit approval to things as they were. Perhaps there are many legitimate views of what happened and yours is just one. You might also be plain wrong!

Accepting that you may be part of a problem allows you to step off the moral high ground, and helps you hold back on telling others how you want them to change. It helps you go into a conversation without arrogance, and gives you a much better chance of hearing all sides and of finding a solution to which everyone can commit.

Forex Trading Systems - The Top 5 Reasons to Invest in One

The increase in popularity of Forex trading systems has been nothing but extraordinary. Every private investor that has been in the markets for even a short period utilizes at least one type of currency software trading system. In fact, research has shown us the number two reason people who enter into the Forex markets don’t become profitable is either they don’t have a high quality Forex trading system or they failed to take time to learn how to use it properly and test their understanding of the software using a free demo account supplied by a Forex brokerage firm. The number one reason failed at making money in the currency markets is rather obvious; they had no idea what they were doing because they never took the time to learn Forex trading.

YOUR BRAIN IS NOT A COMPUTER
The amount of data generated by the currency markets daily is staggering. Those statistics need to be captured, processed and distinguished into categories of what is relevant and what is of no use. It is not possible for a human to do this as efficiently as a computer.

ABILITY TO PROGRAM SPECIFIC CHARATERISTICS
Most Forex trading systems have pre-programmed algorithms based on there initial design. The vast majority of the systems fall into one of three categories; a trend based system, a signal based system or a formula based system. The purchaser has the option of selecting or combining the techniques they find important and inputting there own options thus customize there approach towards the information they consider vital to the decision making process.

COST OF A FOREX TRADING SYSTEM
Do to there mass appeal and the fact they are sold worldwide in vast quantities the cost of these products has dropped in recent years as the quality has improved drastically. Most of the products sell in the $100 to $200 range for a piece of software which millions were spent on the development.

UPDATING AND UPGRADES
Most of the systems are updated and upgrade a few times a year and there is usually no cost to the purchasers. The developers of these products realize there number one selling mechanism is word of mouth advertising from happy clients and by provide the latest developments in the markets free of charge they are going to get more sales to new customers out of it.

YOUR ABILITY TO MAKE MONEY
To put it quite simply if you don’t have one you are going to find it very difficult making money in the markets. After all, everybody you are going to be competing against is using at least one to help with the decision making process. How can you possibly process all the information as efficiently as they can if you don’t have one? The answer is you can’t.

As long as you purchase a top rated Forex trading system that has been on the market for a while you can be sure you will be getting a good product and value for your investment. Don’t forget to take time to learn how to use the software and to learn currency trading before trading with real money and you should do fine.

New Payment Options for Direct Sellers

Direct selling organizations are made up of distributors or representatives who sell the organization’s products direct to their personal contacts. Direct selling is also called multi-level marketing and network marketing, as the distributor markets to his personal network. In addition to usually receiving a commission on sales, distributors are often rewarded for recruiting new distributors. Well-known direct selling brands include Avon, Amway and Herbalife.

Direct selling organizations have found success in recruiting new distributors outside of the United States, in a large number of countries around the world. This has complicated the way payments are distributed. Direct deposits to a bank account or simply mailing a commission check is relatively simple and problem-free within the United States. But a distributor abroad may have to wait up to 6 weeks before a US check arrives in the mail, and then wait even longer for the check to clear. Direct deposit is not an option without a US bank account. Wire transfers require the recipient to have a local bank account, and usually charge high bank fees, chipping away dramatically at commissions.

There are a number of electronic funds transfer (EFT) services available that are faster, more convenient and less expensive than the traditional methods of checks and wire transfers. The introduction of innovative payment methods has meant that distributors can receive their money more quickly and keep more of it. For example, online payments offer more flexibility and are more cost-effective for distributors who do not have US bank accounts. These methods generally offer an online account or “wallet” where money can be deposited and spent. Should the distributor have a number of online expenses, particularly from suppliers who offer the same payment service, online payments can be the right choice.

However, cashing out payments from online wallets can be complicated and can become as cumbersome as using the traditional payment methods.

An innovative method now being offered by leading direct selling organizations are payments direct to co-branded prepaid debit cards such as MasterCard and Visa. The cards are extremely popular with the brand-loyal distributors, allow easy cash-outs from ATMs or spending any where that accepts the debit cards, and do not require a US bank account or credit check. The direct selling organization transfers the funds to the card accounts, and the money is then instantly accessible online, at shops and restaurants or at ATMs. Furthermore, if issued by a US bank, the card accounts are FDIC insured and often offer protections against unauthorized purchases.

By incorporating co-branded payment cards into their payout processes, direct selling organizations have found a way to turn around the cost and hassle of international payments into a cost-effective, easy marketing tool.

Stress Management - Learn Control Stress Triggers

We relate stress as those moments where you feel like everything has become too much to handle and everything seems to crumble at the slightest provocation.

Even though we all know what stress is do you know how best to control and manage your stress levels?

Stress can be explained as the feelings of inability to cope with a situation or circumstance. In many cases of stress the situation may seem trivial to an outside party but its detrimental to the person experiencing those feelings.

This difference in perception about the level of crisis had led researchers to believe that stress management is largely reliant on the individuals inner self-esteem and techniques for weathering through difficult situations.

There are several schools of thought regarding effective stress management. Because every persons reaction to different stress triggers is different, there is no right or wrong way to handle stress only the right way for you.

Understanding the reasons and triggers behind your stress can be a huge step forward in learning to control your levels of stress and handle them effectively.

Job Stress Management

A highly demanding job or career can lead to very high levels of stress for people working in them and yet rarely will those people do enough to control those stress levels.

In many cases, the trigger for stress in these situations can be feeling under too much pressure from management to continually perform well. Other people report feeling as though theres simply too much expected of them throughout the working day. Still others complain continually about needing an extra few hours in each day to get everything done. The common feeling among each of these situations is frustration.

Stress management for people in these kinds of situations can often be a matter of better time management and correct delegation. Constant interruptions by telephone or other colleagues can chew into precious time in which you could be getting things done.

If your workload is wearing you down, consider breaking your tasks down into prioritised lists and working through the most important issues first. Any less important tasks can either be done later or given to another staff member to assist. Leave the phone to the voice-mail if you can. Ignore emails until after you have completed the task you are working on. Explain to colleagues that standing around gossiping takes more time than you have available. Talk to them when your work load is lowered.

Be sure to take a walk when your work day is over. You do not need to jog or sprint. Just walk around the block or around the park. The simple act of walking can help to clear bottled up feelings of frustration, improve blood circulation and give you precious time to think things through without interruption.

Relationship Stress Management

Not everyone gets stressed at work. Many people feel stressed about their relationship or family life. A large number of women report feeling stressed about the demands of running a busy household and raising a family without enough support. Many feel their partners are unsympathetic and unhelpful and the pressures of day to day life begin to affect everything they do.

Stress management for people in this situation could be partially helped with time management and effective delegation to other family members, but in relationship stress the overlying emotion is not always frustration, as with job stress. It is often lack of self-esteem and low self-worth. Many women feel as though they lose themselves in order to care for the family first.

Learning to put your own needs first before those of your family is not considered selfish. It is actually beneficial to everyone. If your own needs are well looked after, then you have more energy and more love to spread around to your family.

Take time to relax in the bath. Take a walk away from the chores and the family and enjoy the alone-time. These things do not need to take all day but just a few minutes away from the constant pressure can mean the difference between coping and falling apart.

The Four Most Common Mistakes We Make in Difficult Conversations

We face difficult conversations every day. They can be with our children, our parents, family members and spouses; with colleagues, employees and with the boss; with friends and neighbors; with tenants, landlords, business partners, and in the sports team.

Sometimes these conversations are about the big issues of race, religion, gender and politics. More often than not they are about common everyday issues.

At work, conversations involving feedback on poor performance are difficult for both managers and employees. When we share open plan office space we argue over the background music and how loudly people talk and laugh. In families, conversations about disciplining children and how household chores should be shared are often difficult. Neighbors get into damaging arguments about dogs, noise and parking problems, then go to court, or move house.

Most of us wish we could avoid the conversations about money that we sometimes face with our bank managers, business partners or spouses, and sometimes with our children and siblings!

We put these conversations off for as long as we can because we know they are likely to involve heated argument, blame or accusation and often end up in emotional outbursts of tears or anger. It is simply not safe to get into them! The stakes are high. We might make fools of ourselves, damage a relationship for ever, or make it impossible to work constructively with someone in the future.

At the same time, most of us realize that swinging from stony silence into emotional argument and back again is not good in any relationship. You can start to improve your communication skills by recognizing four of the most common mistakes you are likely to make that can make difficult conversations disastrous.

You talk too much!

When we talk about something that is sensitive, personal and difficult, we often talk around the subject, not being specific, trying to be polite, hoping the other person will somehow pick up the meaning.

However, you may say so much that they are unable to work out what you are getting at and you only succeed in adding confusion to an already difficult conversation. You may also by accident say something exaggerated or accusing and cause a defensive reaction.

Plan what you need to say, then choose the most simple way of saying it. The fewer words you use to open a conversation and explain the problem as you see it, the safer you will be.

You think you know everything!

When we feel strongly about something we are usually convinced that we have got all the facts at our finger tips and that we know exactly what is going on. We also are quite sure we know who is right and who is wrong! So we go into a conversation primarily to get the other person to agree with us. We say to ourselves: If I can just get her to see, or: If they will just do.

The more the other person resists, perhaps trying to offer their own viewpoint, the harder you push to get your way. However, you rarely, if ever, know all the facts in a complex conversation, and you cannot always be right!

You must go into difficult conversations about complex issues prepared to listen, and prepared to consider the viewpoint of the other person.

You blame everyone except yourself!

It is tempting to see every problem as the fault of someone else. If THEY would perform to the agreed standards: if THEY would just stick to the rules: if THEY would do what they promised; then there would not be a problem. The fact is that if you are part of the situation, you are in some way also part of the problem.

Are you sure you made your instructions clear? Did you clarify priorities? Did you set clear standards? Did you get commitment to these standards?

You need to remember that you may be as much part of the problem as anyone else.

You go straight to action!

It is tempting to offer an immediate solution to the problem in a difficult conversation, so you can end it quickly. Avoid this temptation! Slow down. You need to hear all sides of the story, and the other person needs to know that their opinions and feelings have been heard.

If you push too quickly for your own solution it is likely that others will not be committed to the outcome. You will think you have solved the problem only to find that nothing changes and you are back to square one after the conversation.

These four mistakes account for many of the problems we face in difficult conversations. If you can avoid them you will find that your communication skills will improve noticeably.
