Surviving The Hits With Competition

Gary...

I thrive on competition ...it is fun and I like to win, but it isn't about money to me ... it's about being the best!

Gary, Some days it can be rough----RUFF!  I just try to stay high on the first page of Google and I'm a happy person :)

Gary, great photo...I always try to stay on top...basketball isn't my forte being 5 foot. 1/2 inches tall.  That doesn't keep me from trying though.  Age is catching up more than height.  But, one of my friends just said that I will continue to jump in the deep end even though I can't swim until I die.  That much is true!!!!

Healthy competition is exactly what makes the industry interesting to me. I don't shy away from and I feel better when I know it's around.

Gary I love this ...my cousin said after an accidental death of his  young  son-in law..  Life has a lot of bumps in the road and sometimes you hit a pot hole,  right now we've hit a pot hole, but we will get through this "    ( I love this guy!! he is another one that can inspire you )  BTW   The photo  is great and the last line made me chuckle   Thanks

        And always remember YOU are truly the biggest dog out there.    

Gary,

Great photo and message. Competition is healthy and good for everyone. Keeps the heart pumping!!

One nice thing about having a blog for a while is that when clients contact you, there is no competition. They already know you and are ready to work with you.

Gary, for many years I thought I was not competitive, I was shy (oh say it ain't so), but after becoming a realtor, I realized that is the farthest thing from the truth.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, yep, I am the BIG DAWG! Now I am ready to go out there and git em. Thanks!

I am reminded of the old "Roy D. Mercer"  cassette tapes on this one ..... How big an ol boy are ya? 

Seriously you are right . I wouldn't be any fun at all without the competition. Just go to work. Go home.

Gary I find that competition has dropped out of favor on the thinking that there are no losers. Competitive sports taught me many valuable lessons including respecting my self and others, integrity etc. The success of our modern economy its benefits to society are based on competition.

Gary,

Competition is good for all of us, IMHO.  We just need to remember to get back up when we are knocked down.  Refuse to stay down and you will thrive.

Without a point of reference we can not know how we are doing. So simple but true.

Hi Gary, Competition keeps us sharp and continually striving to do better. I think anyone resting on their laurels and "not competing" will soon be passed by.  Win some - lose some - figure how how to win more :-)

Cute picture Gary!  Competition helps us strive to become better and more creative and without it, we probably wouldn't see the same quality of services provided.

Gary,

It is true, fear not competition, competition can be your best friend...it is the belief in self that you need to cultivate.

I've been gone for a while, Gary, but it is so good to be reading your posts again. As always, thanks.

Competition is what pushes us to do our best and running with the big dogs can really boost our confidence.  Great photo, looks like this guy doesn't take no for an answer! 

Now that reminds me of that turkey drumstick sarah had in disneyworld! :-)

I think if they don't compete, they won't be in a service-oriented business much longer, or any business for too long!

This business is all about service. If you don't take care of your clients, you will loose them to a Realtor that will. That is why I enjoy this business. I am happy to make new friends and help newcomers find their way around. If your vocabulary does not include stellar customer service, you may not be around very long. Word of mouth is very powerful!
