Calm is Important

With the recent events that have unfolded today I am sure many people are very nervous. Lehman Brothers has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and in order to not go belly up Merrill Lynch has been taken over by Bank of America. This is very bad for the economy as represented today by the stock market dropping. Us Realtors, must stay calm and positive. If we Real Estate Agents get scared and distraught, then it will reflect in our business ethic and that is "no bueno".

I am currently brainstorming outside the box ideas to fuel my Real Estate Business for the next 18 months...I will be trying out and testing whatever comes to my mind....I hope I will have some positive results I will keep everyone informed of any success or failures encountered.

Have a great evening....Monday night football game is going to be great!!!

I think if you take care of your own concerns you will be OK. These guys were making a fortune at one time and their luck ran out.

Ryan, Welcome to Active Rain. I think you're on the right track not to panic and stay calm. I agree with what John wrote in response, take care of what you can, focussing on problems that we have no means to fix.
