Never before had I realized how much I needed the office until this past holiday season. As any real estate professional can attest, working from home is just so damn convenient but as was the case with me and so many other “work from home professionals”, I became complacent. Of course I was able to still work just not as well. There’s something to be said for getting up everyday with a destination in mind and a plan in place. 

Recent events within my office have led to a shake up of sorts that, when the smoke cleared, left us with a different company, including name and leadership. With the advent of Williams & Stuart Real Estate I felt this was my chance to get back into the game with a fresh outlook on business and a clear goal for 2009. It’s cliché to say that I’d like to grow my business, but who wouldn’t? And the office is just the place to make that happen.

Early on in my career I was fortunate enough to attend company run classes that spoke of the importance of being in the office. At first I said to myself that I’d always be there or at least that’s what I had believed but as time went on I started to work more and more from home. While this wasn’t a terrible idea, I found that eventually I would only get to the office once or twice a week. Not the best thing for any business professional.

Thankfully those days are behind me and I’ve attacked the office concept with fervor of epic proportions. Being around like-minded professionals can only increase my knowledge. I feel that any good office should be a think tank of ideas and growth and that’s what I’ve got at mine. I’m surrounded by successful experienced real estate professionals who are always eager to lend advice or a helping hand to anyone who’s willing to listen and learn. 2009 is my time to shine. Please forgive the rhyme.
