Are you prepared if the ball is hit right to you?

I've learned to succeed by telling myself EVERY ball is coming to me.

So I'm always prepared.

Reminds me of the mental and physical routines that I would go thru - even as a left fielder, before every pitch.

Todd - I sure try to be, although I have to admit that sometimes the ball takes a weird bounce.  :)

Good advice Todd, yes you are right you have to always be focused on business.  It is sometimes difficult if things are slow, but isn't strange that when you stay focused, you see the opportunity and can seize them! 

Todd - Love the analogy, but she looks so cute digging in the dirt :)

Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today! I can relate to the analogy Todd and being prepared will get you there!

Todd- THis is the first year that Tristan is playing Little League and I am pretending to like it, LOL! Katerina

I would be having people hit grounders to me until I could catch them in my sleep and a real fly ball came at me I could hold my head up high.

Todd, 

You never know what curve balls are coming your way in real estate.  It helps to be prepared.  

However, if you need a good laugh for the day, go down to your neighborhood baseball park and watch a T-ball game.  It's hysterical, as you know.  Runs can score, while the outfielders are deciding who gets to throw the ball in!!!

All the best, Michelle

Playing in the dirt... haha... this is a good analogy, Todd.

Hi Todd, An intriguing subject indeed. I love the comments. Damn the torpedoes. I had someone call me and ask if I would be interested to listing her home. Immediately I blurted out,  No! I could hear almost faint when she said "What".

I jumped right back in and said I would be delighted to help her sell it. I work as a team. Myself and the Sellers. We work out the price, the strategy and we get the job done.  Listing a property is what some of my competitors do.

Todd -

Your blog batting record is way above the League average.

You not only help Beaverton/Tigard families home.

You're almost to hit one out of the park......a million points on ActiveRAIN.

Just 7727 left to go... here in the bottom of the ninth (hundred thousand).

A little over a week before .... you go on to extra innings.

Todd, great analogy.  I've been out there on the field day dreaming and have missed balls.  Probably the same at work.

Love it, Todd!  I sure wish I had 2 minutes to play in the dirt right now...

Good Morning Todd!
Ah yes, waiting for that ball!
Make this a great Sunday,
Paul

Well done Todd - good advice!

Todd,

Great focus leads to a great business. I am more focused on lead generation than I ever have been and it is making all the difference in the world.

This is a great analogy Todd. Too many play in the dirt and are not prepared.
