Keep Your Chin Up, Attitude is Everything. It has been a very difficult few weeks in my business with many sales falling through. Three of them are the result of lenders pulling the rug out from under us within three days of closing. Others had credit surprises that showed up when a full credit check or review of divorce papers was completed. Then others had the home inspector kiss of death where the buyers just got too scared to go forward.
While it’s hard to not focus on the lost income, it is even harder at the end of the day to Keep Your Chin Up. When things go south like this series of events, you just need to dig in to see if there is any other way to hold the deals together. Unfortunately, only one has been salvaged from this pile of dead deals. That left most of them in the dead deal heap with only a chance that in six months to a year I may be able to put some of these buyers into homes. Attitude is Everything.
By Keeping Your Chin Up, attitude is everything you put off better vibes and are not likely to throw a wet blanket on your other transactions or other buyers. Buyers can sense your attitude and nobody wants to do business with a Debbie Downer or Pouting Pam. So while putting on a smile, I have pressed on through my days, plugging away trying to conduct business as usual. It isn't always easy either. But smiling through it will make you feel better. The little girl's smiling face in this post make me feel happy, does it make you feel that way?
Attitude is everything. Keep Your Chin Up and there are sure to be better things to come just around the corner.
