Back To Basics

By
Real Estate Agent with ERA Herman Group Real Estate

I can't believe I didn't even blog once on Active Rain during the month of Dec. It shows you easy time can slip away during the holiday season. But, now that the New Year has arrived and is rapidly speeding along I can rest knowing my budget and business plan is set for 2009.

I have made a batch of spanakopita and an apple pie for the family. I can put my feet up and stack the laptop on my legs while the comforting and warm smells of cinnamon and apples waft through the air. A light snow is meandering down from the sky and all seems well.

A new President will be at the helm in days and the remainder of the bailout may be released sooner than we Americans had expected.

I didn't make my sales goal for last year but that only makes me more motivated and driven to make it this year.I won't dwell on what didn't happen last year but I will embrace what I can make happen.

I am back in the Rain and I see so much has happened since I was last here. Everyday is a new frontier.

Sabrina, the key is blogging consistently.  40 more chances of clients finding you were lost in December.  Advertise, Advertise.

I know what you mean Sabrina!  We were out of touch/on vacation for 2 weeks, and it has not been easy to get back in the groove  but I am trying!  Nice new background!  Welcome back!

Thank you for the link on my Post this morning about Debi. I see the word consistency was mentioned, and I must agree.  In these tough times when people are advertising less it is imperative to get your name out there in other ways......blogging and Google help with that for the price of just your time :)

I think most people slack off during the holiday season.  We can't help ourselves!  But you're back now and that's all that matters!  Welcome back!
