Are you a farmer or a hunter

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Blue Asset Management

There's all types in our business, and many of us have grown up in the business with eachother as the years go by, and while we compete, we are no longer competition in the trenches. Theres all kinds of people we see come and go and stay. I was thinking that over the years, i've seen many styles, many hunters, who hunt for todays food, many farmers, who farm for the harvest season. I've seen other types too, blind squirrels and the like not worth posting here, I suppose for many of us, we can be one, or the other or both. Hunters do well when there is abundance to be hunted, and farmers do well always, as long as there dirt and water, and somehow we almost always find dirt and water.

What are you, a farmer or a hunter?

I have always tried to be both. I have my garden plot that I tend with care. I go out and hunt in my spare time.

I also have the bind pig attitude on duty time at the office.  "Even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while"

Charles,

This is a great article!

Congratulations, it was included in the most recent Unsung and Overlooked collection.

This should get it a little more exposure :)

Charles. What a great read you are. I read this post and the purple cow post. Between the two they caused me to subscribe to your blog. There is almost nothing that is more enjoyable to me than and easy read with a message.

Charles - "work like a hunter, think like a farmer' - straight out of what Brian Buffini teaches.  I'm taking his course "100 Days to Greatness", and he repeats this frequently throughout the whole course.  We need to be both, working today and working for the future - short and long term.
