Today, as I drove home to Fort Lauderdale from Fort Myers (a very boring stretch of straight, flat highway with nothing but Everglades swamp on both sides) I got an opportunity to listen to my eclectic collection of iPod music. (I'm going somewhere with this, I promise). I heard "great toons" by Kiss, Kenny Loggins & Planet Patrol C:! While I was listening, my thoughts wandered to some of these groups I had seen in concert, and then to the groups or performers who had retired & then come back (athletes included). I then compared the reason they came back from retirement (or why they continue to perform after earning millions & having residual income from their hits). What I surmised, is that it's the thrill of the performance! The adrenaline rush of having fans scream, yell and applaud!
I related this to my listing appointments where I feel every opportunity is a performance; my opportunity to put on the best "show" that I can! If my performance was worthy of a standing ovation, I leave with a signed listing agreement! The charge of that success keeps me going on!
