Hi There! I'm going to post this to the Christian group, but I don't know if it will post in the general section as well...anyway, like many people, I try to read the "Proverb of the day" since there are 31 of them and they are for gaining wisdom and understanding! The Bible always has truth and what better place to get business advice? I don't know anyone richer than GOD!!!

 That's me in the middle...roundin' em' up!

Proverbs 27:23 says, "Know the state of your flocks and put your heart into caring for your herd." (New Living Translation).

As a Broker/Owner, that means a lot to me since I'm spending much of today helping several of my junior agents, (my darling sheep), to follow up on offers they have submitted. I feel I need to be diligent in "knowing the state" of their business, what they are going through, what challenges they face, and putting my heart into helping them to care for their careers and deals. I want to be available when they need me. I take my responsibility toward them very seriously as I must give account to the Lord for how I care for them.

As an agent myself, I think this Proverb also applies to me knowing the state of my client base, the people in my pipeline, the offers and listings I have out there and doing all I can to show attentiveness and care toward what God has given me. Sometimes we complain, but at least I have some business to complain about! I think I need to look at what I have in my hand and depend on the Lord to bless it! My only part is to do the best I can with what I have, right?

Have a Blessed DAY!!!
