Short Sale Investing's Biggest Mistake
It was more of a little "A Ha!" that had larger implications if uncorrected. And by being aware of this quiet reminder, I hope to avoid the previously referenced sledge hammer in the near future!The subject of my internal wake up call was driving a beautiful new black Mercedes 550S Class sedan and was waiting to make a left hand turn across my lane. The driver was female, looked like she had just gotten back from the salon, and was politely waiting for me to pass. She did nothing wrong, sat there calmly waiting for me to drive by, with her flasher on. As I drove by I thought to myself something like: "Oh boy, there goes another rich twit in her paid for ..."Whammo.The guardian of my mind popped into my head waving his mechanical arms like the Robot in an episode of that 1960's television series "Lost in Space.""Warning!" "Warning!" "Danger, Craig Higdon!!!"For those of you too young to know the reference, I'm sure that you can find an old episode somewhere on cable TV. You won't have to wait too long before ol' Mr. Robot shows up to give you a demonstration.Anyway, do you realize what my "guardian" did for me? He trounced all over a "limiting belief" and gave me a chance to correct it.
Choosing Our BeliefsFor those of you not familiar with the term "limiting belief," I first came across it while investigating Neurolinguistic Programming, or "NLP" some years back. NLP is a study of internal and external communication processes and its effect on human behavior.One of the things that you learn in the course of studying NLP is that in large part our behavior is governed by our beliefs ... and that our beliefs are what we make them! Think about that for a moment ... F1 race cars take the circuit route in Singapore's downtown area.When the comeback of the Singapore Grand Prix was first announced in early 2007, thousands of fans and tourists expressed their excitement and enthusiasm for the event. As early as November 2007, hotel packages and hospitality suites were opened for booking and immediately got full reservations. Patrick Fiat, general manager of Royal Plaza on Scotts, said that the resurrection of the Race would provide a big boost for tourism in Singapore. Fiat also added that this Race was one of the best things that could happen for the country.It would provide a new branding for Singapore and would increase its stance in the global market. Fiat was correct in saying this because a total of around 110,000 tickets were released for Singapore's first Formula One race. With the flooding of tourists, airline companies and hotels were the most likely beneficiaries of this phenomenon. Ms. Ng of Pan Pacific Hotel said that this race is extremely encouraging, not only for the hotel but for the outlook of the hospitality industry as a whole.
Hotels in the Marina Bay area are said to have the most advantage because they provide a very good view of the race from their rooms. Tourists are quick to book their accommodations even as far as a year before to ensure their stay and get a good room that would provide a perfect view of the race. Putting those 'under the microscope' will yield better understanding on the property's condition. Forex trading
