George Steinbrenner was not only an icon, he was a friend and a very great man. He also knew what winning is and what winning meant. It meant everything--and everything is what it took to achieve it. If you know anything about George, you’ll know... he was focused and incredibly tenacious. He knew what he wanted, what his vision for the Yankees was, and he went at it 100% on every level. Every detail mattered to him and the bottom line is that his tenacity worked. He refused to give in under any circumstances and he made the Yankees a great team. There will never be another George and he gave us some of the greatest moments in the history of baseball. He also gave us an example to remember: go for it, no matter what, and give it all you've got and more. His generosity of spirit was without equal. He'll be greatly missed.

Social media is without a doubt one of the fastest ways to bring red hot leads right to your door. No matter what industry you are in, your target audience is out there right now just waiting for your product or service; you just have to get thei...r attention. So how do you that? The answer is simple: leverage the power of video on YouTube.
Why YouTube?
Because people love video! Given the choice between reading a long, boring article and watching a captivating video, which do you think your audience is going to choose? Plus with video, you can invoke positive emotion in your prospect, and link that emotion to your products and services. I personally use videos on YouTube and my site for a variety of reasons, including introducing myself as an internet marketing and technology expert.
Creating a video and uploading it to YouTube is only part of the process though. If you want to maximize your YouTube traffic and generate more leads, you need to have a ...

Buyer's remorse. Appraisal problems. Loan denial. We all know the pitfalls of what can cause a contract to fall apart. Here is a list of 10 ways to keep that agreement together.
Don't allow closing dates too far into the future. If necessary, a clo...sing date can always be extended through an addendum to the contract. The quicker the closing, the easier it is to keep everything moving and all parties on their toes. If a buyer is in a lease and claims to not be able to close quickly, offer to pay the remainder of their lease or some other incentive to get them to the table sooner rather than later.
Have someone (other than you or your real estate agent) who is familiar with your property (and any work that has been done) attend the home inspection. This helps to show the buyers that you care about your property and also gives you someone (and a more neutral, 3rd party) to address any immediate issues which could cause buyer's remorse.
Before putting your ...

Over the past week, I have received quite a few inquiries from real estate investors asking me to help them build their portfolios through purchase-rehab-sell (I despise the word "flip"). When I initially speak with an investor, I ask a lot of ques...tions. Unfortunately, many don't have some of the most important answers.
To invest in real estate, you must have a goal, an objective. You must also have a formula. We cannot create a successful real estate investment plan without the formula.
It's really very simple: P = ARV - (PC + SE + HC + RC). Where P = profit, ARV = Approximate retail value, PC = purchase cost (not purchase price), SE = selling expenses, HC = holding costs and RC = rehab costs.
For investors who use short term rehab financing, HC will be much higher than those who pay cash out of a savings account. RC will be higher for the investor who contracts out the work than the one who can do a lot of the work himself (keep in mind to factor T...

If you're looking to expand your business by marketing on Facebook, you're not alone. Social Media Marketing is a great way to reach more potential clients with minimal effort and expense. There's definitely a right way and a wrong way to go abou...t it though, and unfortunately most people get this horribly wrong. They're using a sledgehammer when they should be using a gentle nudge. Get this wrong and you're going to alienate your potential clients before you ever get your foot in the door.
When you make the decision to market your business on Facebook, you need to be aware of one crucial point: people are on Facebook to connect with other people. It's a social experience. Your audience wants to connect with you -- you just have to make sure you're not driving them away. Unfortunately, many people think that “connecting” with their audience means spamming them with blatant advertisements about their business. This is a great way to ruin your social repu...

You might have joined a few social networks in the past. My guess is Facebook or even MySpace! And you might have joined at least 1 business networking site such as LinkedIn. In fact, some people look to LinkedIn as more of a job networking site ...for career advancement as opposed to being a pure business networking site. LinkedIn, in fact offers both opportunities - a great resource for all of us.
What you need to know as entrepreneur, business owner or an investor, is that there are many niche business networking sites out there that can truly give your business an edge. Here is a list of a few of them that my clients have benefited from (and feel free to comment about other sites that I have not covered here):
Biznik: Biznik is a community of entrepreneurs and small businesses dedicated to helping each other succeed. It was created to serve small business owners who hate feeling isolated. It allows the members to raise their visibility and credibilit...

N2Care has created what they claim to be the "latest" in elder care. More correctly called the MEDCottage, these shed-like structures are placed in a backyard for those folks with a medical need as determined by a physician. As per the website, "Th...e MEDcottage is a state-of-the-art mobile medical temporary home for persons with special needs or disabilities".
Still in it's infancy, the Salem, Virginia based company sees these modular structures as an alternative to a nursing home or assisted living facility. The pods are fitted with items such as automatic pill dispensers, special floor lighting and monitoring technologies such as water levels in sinks and tubs, temperature controls and room oxygen.
Questions arise with regards to zoning and HOA's with regards to these structures. By adding a MEDcottage, does the single family dwelling become a multi-family residence? What is the added drain on the utilities feeding the primary residence? N2Care add...

For the first blog for The Trump Entrepreneur Initiative, I'd like to start with some basics that will help anyone who wants to be an entrepreneur. My father, Fred C. Trump, who was a real estate developer, gave me some great advice, great becau...se the advice was not only solid, but it worked. In fact, it still works.
He always told me to "know everything you can about what you're doing." In other words, be thorough. I watched him and he definitely practiced what he preached. He knew everything about construction and could show carpenters shortcuts. He was very focused as well as thorough.
From an early age, my father impressed upon me that "the most important thing in life is to love what you're doing, because that's the only way you'll ever be really good at it." This is absolutely true, and that's why I so often mention that passion is necessary if you want to be successful. If you love what you're doing, the difficulties and setbacks will be m...

Most real estate investors purchase their investments under the name of a corporation. Obviously, that is smart both legally and for accounting purposes, but it is also smart for marketing purposes.
Any business that had a product or service to sel...l knows that it is a lot easier to sell to people who knock on your door rather than vice-versa. This also applies to the internet marketing world.
There are many free, online directories where you should be listing your business. By doing so and using keyword rich titles and descriptions, you will see your traffic increase along with your search engine rankings.
If you have not done so already, your business should be listed on:
Google Local Search: http://www.google.com/local/add
Yelp: http://yelp.com
Yellow Pages: http://listings.yellowpages.com/
Yahoo Local Search:
Bing Local Search: https://ssl.bing.com/listings/BusinessSearch.aspx
