Visualize Your Success
Achieving success comes from within. We read books and listen to CDs which give us the opportunity to motivate ourselves. These ideas from others encourage us to create our successful universe - both personal and professional. I believe in creating our own destiny, of visualization, of ‘seeing’ our success.

Why do people need a home inventory? That is a question that was posed often seven years ago when my husband and I started our personal property inventory business, and still asked of us today. Thus began our mission to educate anyone who would listen. Speaking engagements are one method to provide this information. We (my husband and I) jokingly state that we’ll speak for food! This is because most organizations – Kiwanis, Sertoma, Rotary, Lions and Exchange Clubs meet either during breakfast or lunch, and we’re invited eat before we speak.

You Do Own Enough to Bother With an Inventory
It is so important to have an inventory of your personal property. People who don’t have a lot of fine art, collectables or expensive, high-end electronics often think they don’t have enough to warrant an inventory. You’ll see it’s well worth your time or money to have this information available in case you have a fire, theft, or natural disaster. First, why do you have insurance? Because if you have a loss, your insurance company will give you the money to recover. Therefore, since you have insurance, you must value what you own and would like to get reimbursed for it.

Do It For The Kids
Being an executor of an estate is a responsibility few really hope for, but one that normally is not declined. You’ve most likely chosen one of your adult children to serve in this capacity for your estate. Have you considered what you can do to make this easier on them? One responsibility they will face is to compile an inventory of the estate’s assets. Consider how emotionally difficult this will be for him or her and your other children as they prepare this document.
