WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE “YES” MENTALITY? I don’t know if it’s just me, but everywhere I look there are people struggling with decisions as to what to do. I see it in Real Estate, I see it in Councils, I see it with communities, with individuals, I see it everywhere! And I have to ask… what’s the matter with you all? Just make a decision and go with it! It’ll be fine… really! Let’s take Councils for an example – you ask as a ratepayer whether something pretty simple can be done and do you get an answer? No way! They have to call in outside “consultants” to give an executive (and very expensive) opinion – then it has to go to the committee and then it has to wait till the next council meeting and it just goes on and on and on. If you ever hear I’ve joined a committee – please shoot me… actually, don’t worry, I’ll shoot myself.

And I really enjoyed it! Don’t know if anyone else did, but that would be their problem.
Why can’t these individuals who are supposedly in power just say “yes”!
Why can’t these individuals who are supposedly in power just say “yes”! That’s a great idea or Yes! We can do that! And bang! There it is done! How quickly could we “make Subiaco great again” then?!
lot more often to themselves and to others they would have far more fulfilled lives, far more exciting jobs, far more meaningful relationships and far more confidence in themselves. You want that house? You go get it girl! Or boy, or person, whatever. Someone comes to you with a great idea – don’t pick it to bits and be negative – say “let’s do it” – hey, REAL ESTATE

We all need to be a lot more selfexpressed, decisive, gusty and a lot less timid if we want to achieve and attain what’s important to us – especially that happiness that we all profess to be striving for…because at the end of the day, all happiness is, is liking yourself, and that comes from a sense of achievement and belief in yourself. So…go forth and make some decisions!
