The movie, Picture Perfect, is a light romantic comedy that features Jennifer Aniston as an advertising executive. She creates a marketing campaign for "Gulden's Mustard". In the film the Gulden's tagline becomes "#2 and that ain't bad". The campaign features famous people who have come in second. One of these people was Cindy Crawford who according to the movie came in second in her class at STANFORD! Therefore she was considered to be "#2 and that ain't bad" especially since she is still one of the most beautiful woman in the world.

Today's mindset for so many people is that #2 is just the first loser. That the only winners in the world are the one's that come in first place. Many give little if any credit for participation or beating out the rest of the competition. In most cases we can never recall who came in 2^nd place in any major sporting event or who the Oscar nominees were. We remember the WINNER!

The same is true in any real estate market. If you were to ask the general public who the #1 agent for residential sales in your area is they would probably get that correct. In 2008 the number 1 Realtor in the Lexington/Henderson County Tennessee market is Linda Lipscomb, who is my broker and mentor. But out of the remaining 30 or so agents in Lexington who is number 2. If asked I think that most people would respond with the name of one of our communities long time brokers or agents that have graced the pages of our local newspaper for decades. BUT they'd be wrong.

Number 2 in our neck of the wood's is quite a surprise even to me. For an agent being in the business for less than 3 years to be in second place in a challenging year like 2008 is a shock!

So in a world that readily dismisses the second place finish, I am PROUD to say that for 2008 I was #2 and that ain't bad"!!
