Persistance is a State of Mind: How to Succeed in a Down Market

I am sitting here on my sofa, after a very busy day, watching Donald Trump on T.V., who just said that persistance is a state of mind.  He is so very correct.  Our job as Realtors is to be continually persistant.

Here is my day, today, in what is what is a supposed down market:

Up and at the computer at 7 A.M., to enter the beautiful listing I took at  8 P.M. last night.

Faxed an offer to a Broker on a Contract I wrote last night at 7 P.M.

Faxed Contracts to two Attorneys for a listing of mine I sold yesterday.

Ran to the office, 9 AM to bring in the new listing, and set the ad for the Open House on Sunday.

Run a Market Analysis for a CMA I am presenting at 4 P.M. today.((9:30 A.M.)

Sit an Open House for the Realtors on a new listing I have (11-1).

Negotiate inspection issues on a house I have sold that is Under Contract

Negotiate the contract I have faxed earlier this morning..Contract accepted..Call to buyer to tell him the good news.
