A violinist played for 45 minutes in the New York subway. A handful of people stopped, a couple clapped, and the violinist raised about $30 in tips.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. In that subway, Joshua played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.
Two days before he played in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out a Boston theatre, and the seats averaged about $100.
The experiment proved that the extraordinary in an ordinary environment does not shine and is so often overlooked and undervalued.
There are brilliantly talented people everywhere who aren't receiving the recognition and reward they deserve. But once they arm themselves with value and confidence and remove themselves from an environment that isn’t serving them, they thrive and grow.
Your gut is telling you something. Listen to it if it's telling you where you are isn't enough!
Go where you are appreciated and valued.

Know Your Worth. ❤️

Transforming a cozy bedroom into a seemingly spacious sanctuary is all about the right touches. ✨

Elevate your curtains above the window frame to draw the eye upward. Opt for oversized rugs that trick the mind into perceiving more floor space. Swap out table lamps for sconces to free up precious bedside real estate. Dive into colored bedding to add depth and dimension. Illuminate with strategic lighting and tall mirrors to reflect light and space.

These simple swaps can make a world of difference in how big your bedroom feels. For more transformative home tips, keep following!

Think rent and mortgage payments are the same? Think again! 🤔

Renting means your hard-earned money goes straight to your landlord. But with a mortgage, you're investing in your future. Every payment builds equity in your home, turning it into a valuable asset.

Sell later, and you could reap the benefits of increased value. It's not just a house; it's a wealth-building move! Curious about owning vs. renting? Let's chat about the financial upsides of homeownership.
