HAPPY MONDAY TO ALL OF ACTIVERAIN MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS!!!
I do not have a controversial topic today, nothing that will force Agents to debate nor argue over; Lets face it; it's Monday and hopefully we all had a successful weekend and find ourselves charged up for a great week ahead!
What I want to know today is a very serious; or at least it should be to anyone who sells Real Estate or anything for that matter...What I want to know is; how do you celebrate after you close???
I have gone through some epic battles to get deals closed and a few years back I decided that after each closing I would reward myself with a treat. I feel its very important for us all to reward ourselves for our hard work. For me It all started back in 2007, I used to be in Love with this dessert that the 
restaurant chain sells which is called a "Blondie" 
now since I do not get any sponsorship points or dollars from Applebees; I'll just say that it taste DAMN GOOD! try one whenever you get a moment. Its basically a blonde color brownie with french vanilla ice cream and walnuts...WoW my Blondie days were magical...lol. After the "Blondie's" ran its course I switched to another dessert; this time from Cold Stones Ice Cream 
(Once again I am not getting paid by Cold Stones but this treat is very rich and tasty) whenever I closed I would always enjoy an " Apple Pie A La Cold Stone " YUMMMMMMY (funny as I am writing this, its making my mouth water). As you can see I kind of have a sweet tooth. But after I ate the ice cream a few times (more like 10) once again I needed a new reward. So I left desserts alone for a while and decided every time I close I would buy myself a pair of shoes, Loafers or sneakers (or all 3) 
, then it was sunglasses 
(anyone that knows me; knows I love sunglasses). I then switched to video games (collectors games only; i.e. Nintendo original, Genesis etc...) 
which helped me relax and enjoy some nights at home. Now I am up to electronic devices; most recently an Ipad 2 
and now I am upgrading my cell phone to the Samsung Galaxy 3 
. My next few closing gifts will be a combination of closings so I can book trips for miniature vacations throughout the year. Next stop will be a weekend Vegas trip
followed by a Miami run with the family
.
I was just wondering if I was the only one doing these types of things post closing and if I am not; what are you all doing because you may just inspire my next level of rewards to myself.
Have a happy and Successful day everybody, remember "While your out making a living, don't forget to live" so work and play and enjoy the fruits of your labor!
