Having a good wife is *key* to having a successful business
With Labor Day fast approaching, we reflect on what we have done so far this year as the 3rd quarter comes to an end. I was having a conversation during lunch the other day with one of my colleagues Jeff. He mentioned that this year is going well so far and that he is out producing last year's figures. Many times this year when I speak or hear other agents talking, they moan and groan that things are not like they used to be in the good old days. This was the same mindset that Jeff had possessed earlier in the year. But something happened that caused this reversal of cycle.
Well, zipping through is a light at the end of the tunnel. Jeff had a miserable start to the year and he was down like Eyor from Winnie the Pooh. Several transactions opened and fell apart and he was left with a donut at the end of the day. You see ... working for free is no laughing matter in our industry and it can be depressing. Then something wonderful happened. His wife became his coach ... at a lower cost than the 'professional coaching' out there. The reason for his turn around was his wife. There were times when things don't go as planned but his wife was always there to instill in him the confidence that things will always turn around. He had always possessed confidence but when you stuck in the box it is another story.
After her pep talk, he kept at it and as things would revolve, everything turn around for him. Being in this business is tough as it is, especially during these trying times as many agents fell off the edge like waterfalls streaming down Niagara. Woosh! Because of the extra encouragement and hope that his wonderful wife instilled in him, he was able to plow ahead and succeeded in accomplishing his goals he had originally planned.
I can see the truth in his sage words. When push come to shove, you need the help of your wife to provide that proverbial boost to keep you going. Incidentally, I read that alot of folks are going through divorce during rough times because of financial reason. Maybe these same folks need to stop and ponder about not dwelling on the negatives and endeavor to see the positive side of the matter. It is the way to nirvana...or at least close to it. Stress can be grueling. So for those with wonderful and supportive wife, hold on to her and don't let her go. They are a rare specimen and hard to find. If she is not, dump her and find another one quickly! j/k, never mind the last sentence. :D
