Ive Got Moxie - How 'Bout You ?
I have quite a bit of American Indian ( Choctaw and Creek ) in me and my husband will tell you I have a stubborn streak..
I didn't say meanness just stubborn - there's a difference! I prefer to call it Moxie !
With over 12 years in Real Estate I have honed my moxie to gain that edge necessary to succeed.

Moxie is perseverance - persistence to many as well. Knowing to stay in the game when others are tiring.It is fair to say in this real estate market we are facing, many will just throw in the towel and look for a new career. I have received emails from a fellow Realtor asking to stop by and look a the cars on the lot he is now working on. Others like single moms are trying to determine where the next paycheck is coming from.
I understand. I really do. Guys, this is called being in the trenches- maybe 21 points behind...we can get out- if we find our moxie!! Right here on this forum lies valuable and test proven ideas that can jump start your moxie and get you back in the lead. Don't slow down because the market has. This is the time to go at it harder. It takes more work in a slow market- alot more.
- Take this time to tweak your website
- Personally call your sphere of influence- have them recruit for you: Buyers Market -Invest
- Write a plan of action and stick to it- what can you be doing better?
- Evaluate your day and prioritize your time- The focus is on tackling the task before starting another.
- Get off your butt--yep, slow market does not mean you get to stay home and socialize on AR all day :-)
Apply what AR has been teaching you and go make it happen !
Frank Lloyd Wright says it best "I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen."
To me it is a state of mind. Moxie comes from within. I think we all possess it . Now it is a matter of who will reach deep within and use it ! Today I challenge you to get your moxie and make this week a productive one!
and finally ....can I get an Amen! ( gotta check out the link ok ! )
