Should is an interesting word. When I looked for its definition I learned that it is the past tense of shall. Should by itself, very often, isn't so bad. For example; I should have a good year this year. That's an okay statement, but let's add another, killer word, to it and change the feeling entirely.

Should  have;  as in, I should have done something. Now that sounds different doesn't it.

It's the middle of October so we can all reflect back on the past year and possibly with some regrets state, I should have done, whatever, you choose.

We also can look forward and determine where we are going next year. It would help if at this time we had or were developing some;

Clearly defined written goals!

So that next year, hopefully, we don't look back thinking I spent the year "shoulding" all over myself.

Think about this seriously. You may agree and you may not.

As individuals involved in the real estate industry, regards of the function, in most cases our January 2010 income is being determined today!

If you agree, put it in gear. If you don't you might want to reflect back on this statement in January.

Let's give credit where credit is due. The comment;

"Don't Should all over yourself"

actually came from Tony Robbins in an interview with Darren Hardy, the publisher of Success magazine. The interview took place at the end of 2008. 

So think about it, 2010 is charging at us, so watch out, and

Don't SHOULD all over yourself!
