Olympic Lesson --- Don't Give Up! ---
The Winter Olympics provides us with daily confirmation of the basic principle of all winners --- Don't give up. You won't always win, but you certainly won't win if you give up.
For us in the real estate business, the times are confusing at best. It seems like we are working our way through a fog. We have the courage to continue, but at times it seems like we don't know which way to turn next.
None of the competitors at the Winter Olympics made it to Vancouver without a coach. We all need guidance from time to time. Even if we are on a winning streak and feel like we know what we are doing, perhaps it is time to move on to the next level of competition to truly test our abilities and raise our capacities.
It may be time to seek some guidance, if not from a formal coaching commitment, at least from a trusted ally that will give us the straight scoop. It can be like sunlight breaking through the fog to hear that word, or special insight that can help us find our way forward.
ActiveRain is a great support system in itself. Sometimes though, it is necessary and important to make a more personal connection.
It may be as simple as picking up the phone. I did that last night. I called someone very close to me that I'd not talked to in years. After an hour on the phone, we've committed to monthly communication. Today I have a new special feeling of understanding and greater optimism for the future.
If you find yourself in a fog, don't give up, there is a next step you can take, even if it takes the guidance of someone else. Just don't give up.
