Dallas Cowboys show us what lack of Team Work will do to us!

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Residential, Prescott AZ.

Yes I have been a Cowboys fan for a long time and yes I still will be a fan.  The Eagles showed The Dallas Coaches and Player what motivation and team work can do and the Cowboys showed what happens when a team is made up of a bunch of hot shots who think the team will die without them, and they play as individuals.  Who was the team leader, as for me I did not see one.  The coach just seems to sit back and say OH WELL.

I will still be a cowboys fan because the team I see out there now is not the Cowboys Team.  They are a bunch of hot shot players that have individual talent but cannot act as team.  The Cowboys Team is a legend built by Tom Landry and Tex Schram and the Jerry Jones approach will not build a team, it just puts together talent and no one wants to be a team.

As realtors we must cooperate and work together or we all fail.  I am frustated when I see realtors that do not respect fellow realtors and treat us a second cousins.  And our Mortgage Partner is as much a part of our team as each agent, so we will play together this year in our Real Estate Challenges.

Coach Landry said, "Building a plan is easy, success comes from executing the plan correctly", or something like that.

2008 was a challenging year and 2009 can also be challenging but we are making our budget plans and working on the execution plan and we are looking for the best. 

Our biggest challenge has already started and that is getting loan approvals.  This week we worked with 4 buyers and only one of the 4 got loan approval and we have 2 of them going to credit counseling and one just gave up and one got the contract completed.   Our fear is that this is the trend we will face most of the year.
