Ask An Ambassador: What's Essential?

Good morning Bill and Liz. Sometimes  a tip to make life easier that is so apparent must be revisited. Thanks! Being retired I get to play more and work less. Enjoy your day. You post is being featured in Banantudes. Congrats!

Hello Bill (and Liz too) - proper preparation plays a part throughout everyday life.  And pondering about the topic, will likely have more examples come to mind.  That can be priceless - because disasters of all kinds can hit when least expected.  

Very few have any lasting meaning. Maybe we put an upcoming listing, maybe review a restaurant. I think different types of posts are aimed at advertising, fun, just letting others get to know us. I think a blog must be viewed in its entirety...does it remind someone that you are the area expert when it comes time to list a home.

Good advice and it is always good to be adapting as you go, adjusting the sails. Glad you made it through the storms, it is amazing how powerful this storm was and how much damage it has done inland as it went.

Liz and Bill Spear  Love this post! Bells and whistles just went off in my head.  Situations happen it reminds of some things  we try and to be honest are we ever really prepared . 

So glad you all are ok up there. The devastation to so many is awful. And yes, knowing what is essential in business and in life is key.

Liz and Bill Spear, what a great reminder to be prepared both in life and business! 🌟 Your post is a perfect example of how staying ready makes all the difference, whether it’s for a storm or the real estate market. #BePrepared #StayMotivated 💡

The tools that we are given and learn with will help so much

Learning how to roll with the punches of life and she twist and turned through life and maneuver through things through failure and success and failure and success is a great skill.

Bill this is such a perfect analogy to blogging and running a business.  Preparation is key and knowing what's important and what's not is critical.  Glad you guys are ok and had your ducks in a row. I can only imagine how prepared you'll be in  your new home.  Love it!

Hi Bill- glad you, Liz and the fur babies are ok. I was on the phone with a friend in West Chester and she was worried for her son on his way home from school. 

We learn from each storm/hurricane. Larry put together an inverter generator system for us that ties into the breaker. It works like a charm. The only thing it can't do is the AC. So after the last outage (Beryl) he bought a stand alone AC which the generator will work. We can use it in the bedroom. 

Remember when we were named "Essential Businesses"? Those are times I'd like to forget...

Along these lines of what's essential, our broker announced a "contest" today to help boost our business through the end of the year. I am excited because I love challenges. I told my broker after the meeting I needed all the deets because I am a huge competitor.  We get "points" for "essential" daily tasks. Can't wait!

Hi Bill,

I feel strongly preparation is the key to success in business and life! Of course you can't be everywhere or with everyone so decisions have to be made in order of importance! 

Good information about paying attention to our business essentials, but even more importantly, I'm glad you had some preparations ready and could deal with the power outage without too much angst. By the way, being prepared to take care of the menagerie must take an awful lot of planning. When you mentioned the dishes for the fur babies, I thought, yikes! That's a lot of dishes to start washing on a regular basis. You'd have to stay up later. :-)

You are smart to be so prepared!  Electricity seems to be essential these days and I feel it will become more reliable as more solar power is utilized across the country.

Great points and a very creative way to tie into a current event.

Liz and Bill Spear 

Bill having the right essentials is so important. Whether it is business, home, or general necessities, without the right essentials it is like going camping in the woods and being in total darkness if you're not prepared. 

Glad to hear your bees survived too. Life takes on many changes whether we like it or not. Being prepared and having essentials plays a vital role in our survival and making it through the tough times. There really is something to learn from each and every adversity. 

Hi Bill,   Although I packed up enough dog food to last for quite some time, I forgot the bowls!  Thanks for the reminder!
