How are Paving you road to success?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with WHISPERING PINES REALTY 20398180

We all measure success by different means.  Some is monetary, others look at reputation, and still others have a completely different view on success.

Are you paving your way leaving a smooth trail that follows behind you? or...

Are you steam rolling over everything in you path to get to the top, without future consequences in mind.  Are you burning the bridges that you may have re-cross at a later date.  Success at any cost...is that really the way to build a business?

No steam rolling, but I am running a business and we are in a competitive industry.  I will run my business competitively but I will not compromise my morals and ethics.  What goes around, comes around !

William,

Good analogy. I refuse to run over someone to be successful. Hopefully, I am paving the way for others to follow!

Morning Bill,

Great presentation and accompanying photos. If one steamrolls and burns bridges they won't be in the business very long. That's my way of thinking anyway.

Hi Bill...

I liked this analogy and the pictures very much ... I can even smell the asphalt here in my kitchen this morning! Good past, thanks.

Bill, I love the photos!  There are some people in this business that steam-roll and then wonder why the business is so "hard" for them..  They should see this.
