What can go wrong in our business? ... Ocean City, New Jersey

 

Almost anything.  There are a thousand stories in the big city, or even the little town (when it comes to real estate).  Working with a buyer,  or a seller.  A misunderstanding about almost anything.  And on and on.

I came from a public school teaching role plus 17 years as high school principal.  I clearly know what can go wrong in that particular business ... both a teacher as well as a principal.

Having said all of that, let me share the most difficult problem that I have ever had.  There may have been more serious problems before (particularly in my high school principal days).  But this is a technology issue ... unlike any other technology that I have had.

About 18 days ago in the morning I discovered that Yahoo was not directing email messages to my business account with them to my "dustin@beachnotes.net" email.  Later I discovered that I could send out emails, but could not receive them.

I tried my best to contact Yahoo which was not possible by phone.  After about ten days I determined that I was unable to solve the problem on my own.  About that time on another morning I discovered that my Yahoo account had been removed along with all of my contacts with that account.  

I then made a contact with a local technology problem solver to try to get my Yahoo account and contacts back.  I am now in "a wait and see" mode.

Let me share a new address while I wait for my Yahoo one ... use "dustin@goldcoastsir.com" which is my business account with my real estate agency where I work.

Wish me well ... regardless, this will mean a follow-up (good or bad).
