For the past couple of months, I've been in the dumps. I don't even want to answer the phone, because I feel like all I ever get is bad news.
With the country's financial situation, my real estate career is at a stand still. My husband is losing his job at the end of the year. My uncle was diagnosed with prostate cancer. A client's brother, a US Marine, was killed last week in Afghanistan. My husband and I have been frantically looking for jobs- but nothing seems to be very promising. My dad was forced out of a job we worked at for more than 30 years. My mother, my real estate partner, has taken on 2 additional jobs to make up for my dad's career troubles. Two people very close to me should be celebrating their 37th wedding anniversary today- instead I think their marriage may be over. It's just non-stop.
Maybe it's time to create my own good luck. I need to focus on my future and my family's future. I know that God has always taken care of us and I know he will continue to take care of us. Not sleeping and worrying all the time isn't making my problems go away. My broker has some great marketing strategies in the works including several seminars for first time homebuyers, real estate investors, foreclosures, etc. My husband has a couple of freelance jobs in the works and I've called all my friends who I've worked with in the past to ask them for help finding a job for either my husband or me.
I know this is a tough time for many Americans. We will come through this. We will come through this and will be stronger because of it!
