Every Sunday I enjoy reading the Seattle Times newspaper, and one of the regular columns I read is by Daneen Skube who writes a column called "Interpersonal Edge" and is the author of the book "The Interpersonal Edge" .  In her column she answers to questions readers send her about coping with others and shinning in the workplace.

In this Sunday's column a reader asked a question that is important to me and I think to other ActiveRain members:   

"Many people in my profession seem to be having one disaster after another, while a few people seem to be having extraordinary luck....  Is there any way I can manage my career to steer it toward lucky breaks and away from disasters?"

The answer that Daneen Skube gave is simple genius and you need to read her answer to get the full benefit of it..."Learn From Monkeys: Make Your Own Breaks"

Daneen Skube finishes her answer with this:  "If we're aware that extraordinary opportunities are now available because of the tidal wave of changes that are sweeping our planet, we can delightedly surf on the same wave that is drowning many."

There are many, many changes happening in the real estate world some good, some not so good, and we each have the tools to be successful during these changes if we are willing to not be on automatic (in denial) and instead look around to see what things we can find and use to obtain our goals.  Be a Smart Monkey!
