What do CINNAMON ROLLS and MARKETING have to do with one another? You’d be surprised!!

Who remembers the movie “Field of Dreams”? Remember when they said — “Build it and they will come!!!”?

If building a business was only that easy!

Dr. Bill, Carl Lubbe and I are talking about marketing. Great marketing is essential to building a strong, sustainable business.

It helps your perfect clients find you and it can even help them recommend your business more easily to others.

Carl and Dr. Bill are giving us a mini Marketing Master class during the show! You want to hear this info! So, so good!

We’re also speaking to Kathy Wedegis, owner of The Colored Egg!

And, I have to admit, her marketing is absolutely brilliant! Drool-worthy is probably a better description! The tantalizing goodies she brought with her were amazing!

In spite of all the craziness of the past year and a half, The Colored Egg never missed a day serving our community. How was that even possible?

You’ll have to listen in to hear Kathy tell the whole story!

What does taking care of yourself, reading a good book, and broadcasting have in common? While not directly related, they are all important!

The most productive people are the ones who make their self-care a priority — mentally, physically, fiscally, and spiritually!
Books to read — “The RichLife” by Beau Henderson, “Emotionally Healthy Spirituality” by Peter Scazzero, “What To Say When You Talk To Yourself” by Dr. Shad Helmstetter, “The Go-Giver” by Bob Burg, and “The War of Art” by Steven Pressfield.

Complete Game Broadcasting has been helping launch careers in sports broadcasting since 2008.

Complete Game Broadcasting is a post-secondary broadcasting school for:

High School graduates
Veterans who want to use the GI Bill to pursue a career in broadcasting
Women and men with college degrees working in entry-level positions that aren’t the right fit. (Exactly what Tim was going through in 1989!)
Women and men over 30 who are settled in a career but would like to gradually work their way into sports broadcasting.
Women and men who did not go to college (Sports broadcasting is one of the rare industries that accommodates people in this category. Bob Costas never got his college degree!)

The school portion is a nine-week certificate program in TV/Radio Broadcasting. In addition, the studio is available for podcasting rental time and green room videos for company advertising.

Senior Transitions and Reverse Mortgages “From The Heart and Sold Real Estate Show” with April Rooks and Cindy Vandiver

From The Heart And Sold Real Estate Show

Senior Transitions and Reverse Mortgages "From The Heart and Sold Real Estate Show" with April Rooks and Cindy Vandiver

00:00 /

Helping parents or grandparents with senior transitions can be extremely confusing and challenging.

As one woman April worked with said…

“Gettin’ old ain’t for sissies!”

Before returning to work in the Real Estate industry, April worked in the Senior Care field for seven years.

She helped seniors and their families with all of their care needs during a very, very challenging time of life for everyone.

One thing she realized after helping with her grandmother’s transition and then helping many other families navigate through those transitions, having a solid care plan created in conjunction with someone’s other health care providers, is absolutely essential.

Also, knowing where to find trustworthy information and help is critical.

There are a lot of resources out there — the big problem is most people don’t know they even exist.

For example, many Gainesville residents don’t know there is an adult daycare center located within the community that can help working families care for their elderly loved ones.

The Guest House Adult Day Health Services
320 Tower Heights Rd
Gainesville, GA 30501
General Info: (770) 535-1487

There are also programs available to Veterans that can help, too.

April is one of the few Realtors who specializes in Senior Transitions.

Cindy helps seniors and their families with Reverse Mortgages.

There’s a lot of misinformation and misconceptions about Reverse Mortgages out there.

She is happy to help answer any questions about them so that senior couples and their children can decide if a reverse mortgage is right for their individual situation.

From The Heart Moment

Over Christmas, Beronica from Dorcas Place — a mobile, nonprofit children’s clothing closet — sponsored Christmas Blessings an event during which she collected toys in conjunction with The Edge Church. Everything went directly to the children.

Dorcas Place Gainesville is a community-oriented organization that provides families in need with new or gently used children’s clothing and shoes, and hygiene items for FREE.

No Down Payment Loans “From The Heart And Sold Real Estate Show” with April Rooks and Cindy Vandiver

No Down Payment Loans “From The Heart And Sold Real Estate Show” with April Rooks and Cindy Vandiver

00:00 /

Cindy Vandiver and April Rooks talk about the incredible benefits of using No Down Payment Home Loans to purchase a home in North GA.

If you’re thinking that NOW would be the perfect time to purchase a home if you had the down payment, you will definitely want to listen to what Cindy and April have to say about no down payment loans…

Cindy shares the things you need to know about qualifying for this type of loan:

The areas in North GA that are eligible for this special type of loan — not all areas are eligible!
The financial information and documentation you need to provide to the USDA to qualify for a No Down Payment Loan (it’s very different from applying for a regular home loan).
Rules and restrictions for no down payment loans.
Why it’s important to get both pre-qualified and pre-approved — Cindy is an expert in this area — call her at 706 – 219 – 2500!

Why would you want to take advantage of using a No Down Payment Loan to buy a home?

Many times owning a home is CHEAPER than renting.
Owning real estate is the cornerstone of building wealth. Given enough time, real estate will appreciate — meaning your property is worth more than what you paid for it.
When you rent, you are building someone else’s wealth, not your own.

From The Heart Moment…

April KNOWS first-hand that music is a powerful place for healing. She has personally experienced the impact of music through her own life and witnessed it in the lives of the children she has taught piano and voice.

She is passionate about bringing a shift into our communities through investing in the children who have been abused, neglected, and are currently in the foster care system and under the care of a CASA volunteer.

In 2018 she founded the AMPED Kids Foundation — a 501(c)3 — with a mission to positively impact the lives of foster children by providing access to free private music instruction and other music programs throughout Georgia. Amped Kids is lifting up children and giving them a voice.

2020 was a difficult year for everyone — especially young, aspiring musicians who want to perform live — due to COVID and physical distancing.

AMPED Kids was able to host one live show during which instruments were given out to some of the children.

One young man, who had a particularly hard time understanding that he was being GIVEN an instrument, made a point of going to April and thanking her personally for everything.

It’s one thing to know that you’re making a difference, it’s something else entirely to SEE the difference you made for someone shining all over their face!
