Hello all: I hope you're enjoying your summer evening wherever you are. Although I've had the luxury of taking some time off recently (understand I finally decided to do this as opposed to needing it, etc.), now it's back to work. The fact of the matter is this. Every day I have conversations with my network and they're working.
In my mind, the only thing that has sustained me during this so-called meltdown is the fact that I've just kept on working. One of my colleagues here, Bo Hussung, talked about the importance of having a good attitude toward what's happening. I agree; it sustains us. Granted not every day is fun. I find I'm working harder than ever to get deals done and, even then, alot don't. But the key is to keep working. Whether it's making phone calls to your database, thinking about your next marketing piece or having a face-to-face with a contact, we know what needs to be done.
I started in this business two years ago just when things were starting to slow down. But I went to work and treated my job as if it were a lifelong profession. That's what we need to do. I can't tell you how impressed I am when I meet a realtor with their badge on or a loan officer who knows their stuff. We all want to work with folks like that.
So if you're wondering about what you need to do, I want to encourage you to get back to work! I know it's tough out there but good things happen when action is taken. Good luck to all of you. May you prosper!
Paul
