"KNICK-KNACK-PADDYWHACK, GIVE THE DOG A BONE--THIS OLD MAN CAME ROLLING HOME" Start singing that old song, and you'll be humming it all day long.
Do you ever get something on your mind, and it won't go away--it won't give you peace of mind? Well, I began signing this song with a couple of my grand children last week, and it has followed me around like an ole stray dog ever since.
The question is, "WHAT HAS THIS SONG GOT TO DO WITH A REAL ESTATE BLOG?" Remember the first verse?
"This old man, he played one, he played knick-knack on my thumb." Some would call me an old man--I'll be 64 next month. [I don't call myself old, and only on occassion do I feel the effects of my "experienced bones."] Nonetheless, I got to thinking, andso I'll play:
ONE--If I played ONE, WITH A KNICK-KNACK-PADDYWHACK ON MY THUMB, what might I learn? My thumb is vital to my (1) taking hold of things--success requires that ONE take hold of things. (2) My thumb is vital to My making touch with the things I would want to understand and direct. My CLIENTs want to know that I have a FEEL for the task they are looking for me to accomplish on their behalf. (3) My thumb is connected to my IDENTITY: I am as unique as my fingerprint, and I cannot change WHO I AM. Everything I TOUCH bears the mark of MY PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT.
I will be reminded every time I notice my thumb, so GIVE THE DOG A BONE. THIS OLD MAN CAME ROLLING HOME!
