This is not a post for horses but it is a call to work like a horse while you can. During our recent downturn, many people in the industry took a loss of income and then some and even if they wanted to work...there was NO work...
PLACE MY PORTION HERE
Opportunity also is something that should be respected and seized upon when it presents itself. It is no respecter of persons and YOU have to be ready when it appears. If not, instead of landing in your "portion" area to reward you... it just moves on...
IN BETWEEN OPPORTUNITY KNOCKING
For those that don't want to wait, then activate your tenacity, creative juices and up your game. What that is and how it goes to work is your personal business model fueled by your beliefs. Take it as far as you want to go too
FEAST & FAMINE
I have seen feast and famine throughout my Real Estate career and elsewhere too. When you go through a few of these, the title of this post starts to hit home real good. Human nature is such that when prosperity shows itself, we tend to relax and enjoy...FINE. I get it
SQUIRRELING AWAY?
However, why is it we don't hustle up first and then relax. In other words timing. In nature, they call it seasons. What is it about ants, squirrels, beavers and birds (and many more species) that know how to store away and work round the clock to do so?
THE ANIMALS KNOW THINGS AND THEY HAVE LOW IQ'S
The answer presents itself soon enough. The seasons change and when they do, all it means is that they change the way they operate. From working hard, and steady to holing up during the more challenging times. Dont' forget the in betweens too like storms and scarcity of local product
BUDGETING & EXPENSES
With humans, we tend to moan during the downside but it doesn't have to be that way. WHY? Because we should make concentrated efforts to make hay while the sun shines and then, when the sun passes, it doesn't affect the hay allowance...Budgeting and controlling expenses also come to mine...
THE NEW REAL ESTATE CYCLE HAS BEGUN
We waited for years for the old one to end hoping everyday it would. IT DID! For you Real Estate agents and associations, we are now in the beginning of the Real Estate cycle that usually lasts for years if man or acts of God doesn't interfere with it. Those are the unknowns. This is our heads up. Work it...and feel the pain and when whatever happens that causes a shift kicks in....
YOU CAN KICK BACK (pun)?
I answer my phone more than the public at large does. I also provide superior customer service too. It helps that I like doing this but be advised it also compliments my end game too. I work, hustle, explore, munch on opportunity, and remain open forever aware of what more can be done should be done. I also want to explore new avenues too
DESIRE RUNS THE SHOW
Desire is a funny thing. At some point, we tire of whatever it is we are doing. To the ones that have found their calling and bliss, it is only a brief time out. They return refreshed soon enough. To the ambitious, goal oriented and money driven, it can injure your financial planning and business model. In other words, when you have get up and go... get to going or your get up will go and leave you one day. Use it or lose it.
JUMP IN THE GAME
In America, it is not hard to get up and start somewhere. Its being fussy about starting that ruins the dynamic. I believe in baby steps. One step at a time. Consistency, slow but steady, sure pacing and when necessary; sprint, jump or leap to make the in the moment gain...Its all good
The majority of us don't really have much use for hay so making it isn't the point but it leads us to the point...Make good use of your time...while the sun shines
