Sometimes All It Takes Is A Little Dream...

I woke up this morning more fired up than I have been in months.

In my morning slumber, my mind created a fantastic world, where all of my listings were getting offers.

I mean ALL of them.

I remember the beginning vaguely, sitting there wondering if the market was ever going to change.  Then I got a call, and an offer on a listing.  Then another. 

The last thing I remember from my dream, before I woke up, is a call from a metro agent saying "Hi, Joslyn?  I've got an offer on the farm you have listed.  It's ten under asking, but I think it's a good offer."

I sunk to the floor in disbelief.  I literally was sitting on my kitchen floor, staring blankly ahead of me.

"You have an offer on the farm.....?" I repeated in confusion.  I was stunned.  All my listings were going to be pending.  Everything was going to be okay.  All my hard work had paid off.

EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO BE OKAY.  This was my first thought when I woke up.  My next thought was "Holy cow, was that real?  That seemed real.  Was that real?"

No offer in my inbox. 

Who cares?  I began the morning so fired up, there was no stopping me.  I'm making flyers, creating new ads, finding new places and ways to advertise - and I even have dinner for tonight figured out!

I am ON FIRE.

I've felt like I've been beat up, spit up, chewed up for so long in this market.  I have other agents who have been in the business for YEARS telling me I'm ahead of them in sales this year... but I don't feel like it.  I haven't been good enough for ME, and I forgot that THAT was the most important thing.

So today I've reminded myself of a few things.

• I am doing business still.  I am blessed.
• I am still IN the business.  That is fantastic.
• I am capable of so much more than I realize.
• My broker (or any broker, for that matter!) is lucky to have a young, energetic, outside-of-the-box agent like me.
• I am creative, I am smart.  I can sell real estate.
• I have great ideas and fantastic people supporting me.
• THERE IS NOTHING I CANNOT DO.

So I'm getting out there today and taking over the world again.  Spring is new beginnings, and this is just another chapter in my life and my real estate career.

Hello world.  I'm Joslyn Panka, super agent.
