That is what I think a lot of us have been doing in this market, is just sitting there with our lemons and muttering things like, what am I supposed to do with this.  Miss Guilty over here is speaking from experience.  We have been having our lemon parties with whoever or whomever will join us.

So what can we make out of these lemons that we have been tossed?  In July, I bought a box of lemons at the farmers market and took a bag of 1/2 dozen lemons to my past and current clients along with a recipe for lemonade.  People laughed when I gave them their bags of lemons.  It was fun and I got to talk to people about what was really going on with them and how they were effected by the current real estate market.  It also helped me stop blaming myself for something I had no conrol over.    

I have also been making "lemon" calls otherwise known as lead generation at least 3 mornings a week to people whose homes did not sell, but might like to get them sold. Well those calls feel a little sour, or at least my stomach does before I start dialing.  Then I start thinking about how these people need my help in making lemonade for them. 

So what are we waiting for?  Let's start sqeezing some lemons.  Let's get those homes sold so we can go out there and help more people get their homes sold.  Let's show the world, or at least our little part of it, that we can be successful no matter what life hands us. 

I would love to hear your lemonade "success" stories.
