I've got a promblem.

Problems are a sign of life. If you have a big problem, be thankful for it. It proves that you are alive and functioning. The only people I know who have no problems are in the cemetery. (Some say, in fact, that the best way to judge a person is by the problem he or she has.)

Most people though, think that problems are bad. They feel that the ideal state of things would be problem free. So since we have problems, something must be wrong. As a result of thinking this way we end up wasting most of our energy thinking, "Everything would be great, if only I could just get rid of my problems!" I know right now that our market is creating several problems for you and I. I don't think there is a day that goes by that I don't run into someone who used to be in this industry and got out due to all the problems they had to face. I don't want to speak against any of them personally but if they could have seen their problems as assets, they could have seen the benefits this business has to offer! 

Have a great week. I hope it's full of ‘big problems'!

Great point John. This is similar to a buyer who brings up issues about a home, it means that they are interested if they are questioning the home.

Thank you. That was a great post to read today. I am off to work on my problems. I will

just make them a challenge instead of a burden.
