Mothers will be horrified, no doubt. Mine would have been.
There's not much difference between confidence and utter lunacy... except from the kid's perspective. Let's give him a name. Mikey!
Confidence shows in his stance, the set of his shoulders and arms, and in the initial direction of the skateboard.
If your palms get sweaty just looking at this, it's because you're focused on the potential danger--something you've learned to avoid through long practice. Mikey's not thinking about any of that.
You may see a disaster waiting to happen. Mikey sees success in his mind's eye, and he's excited about it. Wouldn't you be?
Now, let's change the picture. Let the road be a metaphor for your local real estate market. The boy can be you, your client or your business. It doesn't matter. The reality, and the necessity to deal with it successfully, is in front of you. It won't go away.
What will you do? Are you confident in your ability and your sales skills? Use them! The opportunity is there for the ride of a lifetime. Of course, you could just pick up your skateboard and walk carefully down the hill... I wouldn't. I don't think you will, either.
And that's the real estate opinion of this Tucson Mortgage lender.
