Liz and Bill Spears have a great blog about "Do You Know the Back Roads?"

Below the dotted line is my response to them. Their words and many of the responses can be adapted to almost any industry. 
There is a ton of business in them there hills! Don't stay inside of the box...those who are successful usually are outside the box or re-defining the box. Re-define your own Box and go for it!!

Liz and Bill....Great analogy!
I have (and always will) traveled the backroads since I was old enough to drive...I know (almost) every road within a 100 mile radius and have put over 60,000 miles on those less traveled country roads in the past 3 years.
That knowledge served me well this year as they resurfaced numerous highways in our area. Flag car and backed up traffic? NO problem...go north 3 miles and turn east and you will come out on the other side of the project...or just drive gravel the whole way. (2nd choice usually won).
I also often travel the dusty backroads of my mind...both for work (oh yeah...there is the turn by the big white barn with the tower next to it)...and also for pleasure...maybe a memory that comes floating back to the forefront as I drive down certain roads.
Or the..."oh...I've meaning to stop and say Hi to Bob and Carolyn...maybe they have the coffee on" kind of thoughts brought to the front by seeing something along the road.
There is so much to see!!
The truth is....there is a ton of business on the backroads....some great people on the backroads....and almost no competition. And thankfully...very few city agent ego's.
So much to see and business to be had when you don't have to keep looking forward 100% of the time!

Want more business? Get out from behind those ahead of you that are all chasing the same client. Start hitting the backroads.
Until next time...drive safe!!
