You will be paid for everything you do. You just don't know when.

Some days it seems as if we couldn't even close a door, let alone close an order. Fortunately, we know that our day will come if we just keep doing the things that we know will produce results. Not getting results instantly or on a regular or predictable schedule is what builds character. We would just as soon have less character building and more results, but that is not how our world turns. Our challenge is to keep our performance level high when our returns are low. We live in a profession characterized by highs and lows. When we hit one, we can see clearly why we were able to write the business. When we miss one, there are too many uncontrollable factors and unknown elements in the mix to make analysis meaningful. Obvious errors are painful, but we are not perfect, and we can only take the strengths and talents we have been given and take another shot. That's why we make more calls, follow up and follow through, and end each day knowing that we did just about everything we could and, as always, we will get fully compensated when the time is right. Few have the fortitude and strength required in our line of work.

I have to keep that Mantra in my head every day. After so long of a bad stretch, I find it an important thing to do.

Thanks!
