Jumping out of a Perfectly Good Plane


Complacency, Comfort, Procrastination... What's your excuse for not expanding your horizons? We all have a list of things we want to accomplish, and most of us have deferred things on that list to a later date. My bucket list includes travel to some exotic locations (New Zealand, South East Asia) and even trying my hand at some extreme sports. If you know me well, you are aware that during my 20's I participated internationally in the equestrian sport of Three Day Eventing (classed as an extreme sport, and tremendously difficult) I am no stranger to challenging myself while simultaneously calculating risk vs reward.

Another extreme challenge I have always wanted to try was skydiving (sorry mom!) It's not because I dislike planes or flying, but because I like to push myself beyond my comfort zone. It keeps things fresh and keeps me agile. I am not one to leave well enough alone. Challenges are not necessarily a bad thing, and can result in a much, much greater reward in the end...

As with anything in life, we should take a little of Column A and a little of Column B, stability and strong decision making power is also important.

When thinking about Real Estate transactions, it can seem like a daunting challenge, something that can get pushed to the back burner too often. But with the right team and resources behind you, little by little those tasks that might have seemed like mountains, become molehills. As humans we are capable of amazing things, things that are only a hindrance or blockade if we allow them to be.


Just like I would never go skydiving without the guidance of a professional, a pilot and proper equipment... You should never take on such a challenge as buying or selling a home without the proper team backing you. I can show you the path to overcoming what you thought was a daunting task, even make it enjoyable and exciting!

I know the professionals that you need on your team, whether you are buying your first home, expanding your income sources by acquiring a rental property or finding that perfect seaside retirement home. Let's talk about what you need to be able to take that next big step in your life, carpe diem!

Your plane may be perfectly good right now, but take a leap and imagine what amazing things you could do outside of it...
