Life's Inside Track

Have you ever read a book that rocked your world? Recently, Ken and I fell into a slump that lasted a few months. We were still effective in our day-to-day, yet we felt kinda "blah," as though the luster had rubbed off our lives. When a mentor friend of ours, award-winning business leader Dianna Kokoszka, invited us to join a book club based on her newest publication, Becoming More, we were so inspired by what we read that we shook off our "blahs" with a renewed sense of excitement for life. In this episode of LIFE's Inside Track, we share proven strategies we learned from Dianna to help you break free from your doldrums and reconnect with what matters most to you.

James felt lost now that he was retired and in his 70s. He thought he had no reason to wake up early and began sleeping in until 11 each day. As the months went on, it became more and more difficult to feel motivated to do anything. His friend Nick urged James to spend a few hours a week at a non-profit crisis hotline center for teens. James would be trained on what to say at a two-day workshop. Nick insisted James would feel better if he got out of the house and focused more on others. If you were James, would you follow this advice? In this episode of LIFE's Inside Track, we'll consider how focusing on improving our bodies and minds can turn our aging years into "saging" years.

Most times, when you hear the word "leverage" when discussing real estate, it's considered an excellent thing. When we can borrow and leverage someone else's money to make money, that puts us in a great spot. The beauty of leverage is that it can give you exponential increase very quickly. Unfortunately, leverage can also work the other way around, and you'll experience exponential loss. When could this happen to you? In this episode of LIFE's Inside Track with the Dekker Team, we'll explore the pros, cons, and risks of purchasing a new build with closing more than 90 days into the future.
