My company has a motto that says we are, "Making things happen everyday." That means, if there is anyway we can get a deal through the process, we'll do it. We will always give 100% for every client every day. This past week was a perfect example.
The first distress call came in from a seller whose water test came back with bacteria that needed to be 
dealt with. No problem. It's normally as simple as shocking the well that provides the water supply. Have I ever done that before? No. Does that matter? Not really. I called a friend. He couldn't bail me out, but he told he how to do it. Today, we received the new water test. Clean!
Then, a rental that is supposed to be done today was in need of a few things. It had five damaged doors and more painting issues than time would allow. There were drywall problems and lighting repairs. My contractor friend was still busy. Do I panic? No, don't panic, adjust. I grabbed my tools, my staff and off we went. We fixed four drywall holes, installed 5 doors, painted the largest room in the house, replaced door stops all over along with more than a dozen light bulbs. We polished the floors and hauled away the garbage.
Whatever it takes. We are truly making things happen everyday. You may not have the skills to tackle the same projects, but I bet you know someone who does. There is no reason to let a deal fall through because something popped up. No, pull your resources, be the "go to person" for making things happen, and you'll never be without business. We should all be making things happen everyday!
