It Moved Go Find It

Twenty years ago the book Who Moved My Cheese was released...such a simple short little book that became a best seller.

It told about how different personalities deal with inevitable change.  In this book the analogy was moving of the cheese and the dilemma of finding more. And it used four different character personalities.

 

My personal take away was not WHO moved the cheese but finding more cheese in a new location.

Nothing lasts forever.

Always be prepared to find a new supply and not be focused on who actually did the moving.

 

 

Very much like Real Estate.

We can sit around and talk about whether it's a buyer or seller's market, whether the interest rates are up, whether the discount or third-party entities are taking clients and then blame others who are  getting  "OUR"  listings. 

Or we can get up and go find new listings and new buyers.

It does not matter who moved the cheese.

Go figure out how to find it.

I remember that book well. Every employee at the company where I worked received a free copy and were told to read it. Shortly thereafter, there were massive layoffs. But mostly all ended up with something better. 

You drew a great analogy for the real estate market with this post. Change is inevitable and it doesn't mean the sky is falling. I alway appreciate what you have to say.

That is so strange!  Somehow, I missed that book, and haven't previously heard of it.  Now, I need to go look for a copy of it!

Great message, Margaret.  There is always business out there.  Some things can't be explained and there's no blame.  You never know where the next piece of cheese might be hiding... in plain sight.

You and I have that drive in common.  No wonder I like you so much.
