Honey really does catch more flies than vinegar

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker

Recently I was talking to a friend and fellow Wisconsin bee keeper that was going out to check his colonies after torrential rains, and also to see if any animals had gotten into any of the colonies. The beauty of bee keeping is that you can do it anywhere. For the most part I see a lot of bee colonies in large open fields and forests. Very pretty sight indeed. I do know one thing; honey does catch more flies than vinegar. In the Waukesha County real estate market things are heating up. Whether you are looking for homes for sale in Mukwonago, homes for sale in Hartland, or homes for sale in New Berlin rest assured the talent that exists in Waukesha county Real estate agents is amazing and I take my hat off to all of them. We live in a world where all we worry about is the health and the welfare of our kids, our pets, and everyone on the planet. We have wonderful charities that go out and help the many in need, and at times of crisis. We do our best to help the faces of the hungry, the poor, the devastated, the individuals and families that need our help, and deserve it. It breaks my heart to know that there are kids out there suffering and  families trying to cope everyday. I live in Wisconsin and the last time I looked into it about twenty three years ago or so they did not have unemployment funds available for real estate salespeople. Come to think of it there was not a lot of programs designed for my profession. That meant I had better work, and do my best at it to stay on top and make a living. I can really applaud a lot of people I work with, and I am fortunate to have them as friends and mentors. I do not understand how bad mouthing  or poor behavior can help anything. The public has and always will have a chance to deal with the great people in our Industry, and they will find out who is full of hot air. It is a cycle that has existed forever. It's called results and not excuses. It's called patting each other on the back and telling someone what a great job they did. It's called taking the time to help or educate someone so they can be that much better. God knows there is plenty of money to be made out there and it is by word of mouth that someone can hear back "That is a decent person, and I recommend them." What more is there? It means doing the right thing. It means turning the cheek, rolling up our sleeves, and working on a game plan. It is all about working together, and achieving a common denominator. If you have not read about him yet there was a man named Wallace Wattles that pretty much was devastated, let the World roll by him and then Wallace Wattles thought it out, read more about him  by clicking Wallace Wattles , or  About Wallace Wattles . Here is wishing you your best day ever and like one of my mentors said "Lead by Example". Great words Ray! To everyone Carpe Diem.

       

Wishing you a productive day, and see you at closing!

Hi Grace

Hope you and Jeff are having as great weekend; I am amazed at how the world can be reduced to being happy by being happy with ourselves. You are so right about the words attracting or repelling.
