I attended the NE Multi-Family breakfast weeks ago and there were 5 speakers gave speeches on the coming years in Portland market.

It's more elevation then a steep hill.

The home is on a hill, actually more of an elevation, not too steep at all located on a high traffic main street in town, and I was a bit afraid about the foundation seeing it was also built in the early 1900's. 

You have to make it an automatic part of your speech pattern.  

In the same speech he also laughed at the idea that being smart or hard work was the reason for your success.  

It's only 90 miles away from our home, but we live at 8,000 ft elev with long winters, short summers, and this home actually allows me to have a garden and a long summer, so it's ok.

Many clients think that a contractor can become wildly successful by elevating their service, while many seasoned contractors know from experience that trying to up-sell their service is mostly a waste of time.

You will change your speech from “I cannot afford the life I’ve always dreamed of” to “HOW can I afford my dream life”?

Lifted our ceiling up for more open feel, added an elevated primary bedroom and bathroom, fresh paint and beautiful materials.

After some prying he also mentioned they would have another sizeable assessment for some much needed elevator upgrades.
