A Good Attitude.

Philemon has the right attitude. Whining about the weather never brings joy or changes the weather yet it seems to the number one small talk topic.

My advice to newly licensed Real Estate professionals is when you are engaging in small talk be sure to keep it positive. No one likes to be around gloomy people. Forget that old saying "misery loves company". Never, never talk negatively about the Real Estate market or profession. If you do, do you think they will want to do business with you?

hello Bob.  Negativity is so much easier than taking a moment to be positive.  Not easy to do all the time but well worth the effort.  Make it a good week ahead.  m

Agreed Dorie Dillard Austin TX . Everyone goes negative once in awhile but who doesn't avoid someone who is always negative.

Hi Bob- this is a good reminder for all of us. People gravitate towards people and things that are positive! No one wants to be dragged down!

Good morning Bob. Great attitude. Let me ask you, when you get a foot or more of snow up there in Minot, how is your attitude about winter? Just asking, haha. Enjoy your day.

Honestly Wayne Martin fresh fallen snow is always beautiful. I love running the snowthrower and when I am done I feel a real sense of accomplishment. Looking at the task well done I again say "beautiful"!

That being said the NEXT day I say: Snow, Snow go away. 😊

Well Bob I'm sure you know how I feel about this topic!  I say have a positive attitude with everyone!  And if somebody is on the negative train.....well watch them go down 'their' track and wave bye bye wish you well!  Here's a thought......you're only job is to 'feel good' period 🙃
