As most of you know "Make It Happen" is the slogan for the REIA of Macomb.  Even more than that, it is a core belief of ours in our business and personal lives.  There are many different examples of Making It Happen.  Maybe you leased out a property that you've had vacant by being proactive and calling the prospects that said "no" or "not yet" back, and converting them into tenants.   Or could it be getting a seller to hold the financing on a deal you otherwise couldn't have done without it.  Mostly "Make It Happen" is simply getting off your butt and doing what you're saying that you're going to do!  Get rid of going, and like Nike says "Just Do It".    Donny Deutsch, a CNBC television show host of the Big Idea had a great guest on last week.  I'll keep this short...Harry Slatkin, CEO of Slatkin & Co., a company that owns Bath & Body Works told a story about the Princess Diana Memorial Candle.  He had huge orders form the higher end stores such as Bergdorf Goodman, Niemen Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue to name a few.  The sales were tremendous.  Along comes J.C. Penney, a very respectable company, obviously not as high end as hose mentioned above.  Penney's decides to order $500,000 worth of Princess Diana Candles.  After production, Harry received a call from the buyer at J.C. Penney's.  They cancelled the whole order, citing not our niche.   Here's where the "Make It Happen" comes in.  Harry Slatkin said no problem and still shipped out the merchandise.  He also showed up in Plano , Texas at J.C. Penney's corporate headquarters and demanded a meeting with the buyer and the V.P. of merchandise.  That same day corporate received the shipment of candles.  The next day Penney's wired the $500,000 thatthey originally promised.  The moral of the story is if you stop at every No, you will have a very hard time being a Successful Entrepreneur.
