It's 2023:  Start Off With a Positive

It was a year of strange happenings and our real estate world saw changes that had many scrambling especially as interest rates rose and the market took a shift.

The start of 2023 will have its uncertainties and many will have a mindset of positives with their resolutions. I have passed enough January 1's to know that for me, at least it's a waste of time, albeit a good thought.

No gym membership for me, if I see that piece of cheesecake, it will get devoured, and I will appease my addiction if a chance to hit the links arises.

No New Year's resolutions for me, as they will be busted up within a few short weeks.

It's the dawn of a new day, month, year:

It's 2023:  Start Off With a Positive

With the shift in the market, although different across the country, it could be time to make some adjustments to the way I have been chasing business.

I have been on this platform long enough to know that what may be discussed or posted is usually an indication of how business will be appreciated and its typically months in advance of how the 'experts' will describe the business.

We have the benefit of some of the best real estate professionals from all areas of the country offering up sound advice almost daily. Time to pay attention and change up a few things to make 2023 a good year for business.

I have heard enough on recent Zoom calls, to know that social media needs to be tweaked to reach a very attentive and receptive audience.

Time to start off on the right foot with a positive.

Happy New Year to my ActiveRain Family. I hope it is healthy and prosperous to all.

Ed, there is something about a new year that brings hope and energy. Waking up in one this morning was all about gratitude for another opportunity to experience living. I no longer clutter my mind with resolutions or often false starts. I look more at what is possible each day by being present in it. Thank you for being here so we could connect. Everytime I read your posts, I am reminded of my early years in Connecticut. Make 2023 your best and happiest yet!

Hello and Happy New Year, Ed - life continues to shift.  Like you, I long ago "gave up" resolution-making.  Finding what works for you (collectively) remains important.

Ed Silva you go, Ed! Have that slice of cheesecake. Life is just too short to keep denying oneself simple pleasures all the time. I've never made resolutions... hate the whole idea behind it... personally, I believe it's too much a focus on what needs "fixing" versus just focusing on doing what one already knows needs doing.

Ed, I am with you, why make resolutions, only to break them.  I would have that piece of cheesecake too, and enjoy a round of golf.    Hoping 2023 is a good year for real estate, so we shall see what the New Year brings!

A wonderful post Ed Silva and you had me rolling on the ground with the cheesecake comment; you certainly have a sense of yourself and do not suffer fooling yourself - that's a man with wisdom. Enjoy your 2023 with health, prosperity and a few laughs!

Hi Ed....you are so spot on with your post!   Happy New Positive New Year.....as per usual for you (and me too)!  I have thought the following has been true for many, many years! Often times in local broker meetings I'd bring up a topic and they'd look at me with a strange look and wonder what I was talking about!

The new year provides a good time to rid ourselves of some of our bad habits and to have a positive fresh start on new meaningful activities.
