Everybody is panicking. The market is hosed. Nobody will be in business next week. The sky is falling!
How's your attitude? Are you the "glass half empty" or the "glass half full" type of person? Are you increasing your marketing, trying new things and getting yourself and your business ready for the turnaround or are you curled up in some corner of your office in the fetal position?
We've been using some of our down time (yes, we actually have some although business is still pretty good) to review our performance this year and plan for both our business and marketing for the last quarter as well as the new year. I firmly believe that both agents and loan officers who plan and focus their marketing and sales efforts, instead of using the shotgun approach, will be the ones who survive and thrive throughout our little turmoil here.
So tell me, all of my Active Rain friends, tell me what you are doing to improve your business RIGHT NOW? Tell me how you feel about the market and the future. And tell me; will you PLAN to be here tomorrow or will you just allow the market to decide your future, instead of you deciding?

My attitude is never to panic. Because we are the Realtors and that people rely on us. This is a market that we should know how to embrace the different cycles. There is no reason to panic but there are more reason for training so we can be more stable and knowledgeable about the market. PEOPLE RELY ON US! We are the rock and we need to be solid in every angle of the Real Estate business. We all need to support everyone in this business so we can reach out people that are in need of help. This is what we are meant to do in life. We all need to be strong and fight for what we believe in.
