While I am not much for "feel good" blogs, I have recognized the value that positive thinking plays in our business lives. I take a more practical approach, however. I try to recognize the good in everything that happens, rather than classify the occurrence as positive or negative.
If I did not get the new client today, perhaps it was not going to be a beneficial relationship, or perhaps it has freed up some time to do something else.
It is a slow time of year for property management, but rather than stress over the calls we are not getting, I choose to be thankful for the ones that we are getting. I think that it is this positive outlook that has kept our small business successful during this downward spiral.
I hope it either gets a little busier for us between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but if it does not, I will be thankful for the rest before business inevitably picks up in early 2009.
Hang in there everyone, and know that it will all work out just fine. Now I am off to do my part in a struggling economy- I am taking my wife to dinner.
