Success does not exist without the SUCK. So our tip to you: Embrace those bad days! They are going to happen.

When did it become a belief that success comes easy? It does not. It requires hard work, hard knocks, and sometimes a hard head to finally see the fruits of success. Success without the suck just does not exist.  We've all see the billboard...Bill Gates started Microsoft in a recession! That's what I am talking about. To achieve success you have to not only deal with moments of suckiness but also see the opportunity in that sucky moment.

Let me put it like this, sometimes you just have to cry through slicing that smelly onion to get the sumptuous flavor in your recipe!

I challenge you all to work through the SUCK to claim your SUCCESS.

Speaking of some well-earned success, congratulations to REMAX ACCESS in Northern Liberties, Philly for coming in at number 3 for the entire City of Philadelphia for total number of transactions (properties sold) in 2011. What a great year! Everyone simply kicked butt.

Hey Chris - It is those "SUCK" days that keep a fire under your posterior.  Without the sour, how sweet would sweet be?  Nothing great comes easy and adversity (in most of its forms) is destined to make us stronger and better.  Suck it up and grab hold of that marrow of life.

Now THAT is great advice!  The bad and even not-so-great days do make the good and great days so much sweeter

Fun post to read today, when I'm having a rare day of feeling less than excited about things. I'll now think of these as "onion days."

Hi Christopher & Stephanie - You'll never last long in our business if you can't get through the "little" bad times - a sense of perspective and a good sense of humor work great, as does a pint of Ben & Jerry's or a nice snifter of Macallan.

Thanks for the comments guys. I guess taking a "This Sucks" attitude has new meaning with this tip in mind : )

We all have bad days. 

Not long ago a deal did not work out for a client and I felt bad for them. This week they found a better home that fits their needs!

We have to take the good with the bad and leave the bad behind us.  Lingering on the negative only draws us away from our goals.  I'm focusing on a great year this year, nothing more.
