Whew, what a crazy week it's been in the markets!

Everybody ok? I just wanted to reach out with an article from Inman that's actually somewhat positive, or at least slightly motivating.

Here's the Link: http://www.inman.com/opinion/guest-perspective/2008/10/2/opportunity-street-still-knocking

Some of us get really bogged down when the news is nasty. We get lost in the messages we are bombarded with on TV and radio. Getting caught up in it is the last thing we need to do. It's ok to be informed, and, do your best not to let it get you down. If you look at all the headlines, they read, "Recession,", "Depression," "Market Collapse," and of course, "Crisis."

My husband told me that John F. Kennedy used to talk about the word "Crisis" back in the '60's. When written in Chinese, the word "Crisis" is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity.

Where is there opportunity in your business? Who can you reach out to right now? Don't wait, ask for business or a lead. Make things happen, shake some hands, pass out cards, do whatever it takes to get the momentum going again. Don't let CNBC determine your fate. Now more than ever is the time to GO FOR WHAT YOU WANT!

Congratulations for making it this far in the Real Estate business. If you're still here and playing to win I think you of you as a warrior, a Navy SEAL, or an Olympic Athlete.

Need some help or support? Do you want more, better, or different results than you have right now?

I'd love to talk to you,
