My business sucks, oh poor me.

It is so easy when you work for yourself to become lazy and complaisant. I am the boss I can get up when I want too, make calls, if I want too, show or not show houses. I can also kill my business or start killing my business in a day. Well that's what I have been doing killing a business that I worked hard to start. Dude quit being a CANDYASS. This is what you will hear from Tom Ferry. He is a Coach, Mentor,and a pretty nice guy. He also tells it like it is. Watch his video on Am I Planting Enough Seeds? I don't know how he does it but he knows just the right message I need to hear. I jumped out of the Waambulance this Friday. I took a future home owner out showed him homes and discussed what would be a good fit for him in the way of purchasing a home. It felt good to be actually working with a client. Its a gonna be a long haul in this business I have chosen. But with help and inspiration from people like Tom Ferry, and Gary Vaynerchuk I believe I can do it. Check out Gary Vaynerchuk on a you tube or buy his book "CRUSH IT" or Gary vaynerchuk.com. Also Check out Tom Ferry.com

Sitting at my Pity Party

Sitting here there are no balloons, no cake ,no Lady GaGa singing in the back ground. Just me 48 year old male thinking what the hell have I been doing and why have I been doing Real Estate for the last five years? Why are you sticking with it in 2010 one of the worst years in history for the real estate profession. Good questions and I am not sure why? I have always done ok in this field, not a super top producer but I have always worked very hard for my clients and they were different then. Now its a whole different ball game with peoples attitudes, bank attitudes,agent attitudes and asset manager attitudes who have no training when it comes to real estate.
So do  I stay or do I go? I am also a SAG actor. I put that on the back burner six years ago just when it was starting to go somewhere, to become Super agent man. So now I am thinking of starting again in the acting business. Nothing like going from one burning pot to another. I have been trying to keep a journal. I re read some things I wrote in June. In Big Letters I wrote: SET BIG CRAZY GOALS under that I had some actions for some goals they are as follows,
1. Believe in myself
2.Decide what I want
3.Visualize outcome
4.Create wish list
5.Design an Action Plan!!!
6. Understand the numbers
7. Schedule daily activities
8. Review Plan
9. Practice every day
10. Be responsible and accountable
11. Use other Successful People as role models.


My pity party is over for tonight...Tomorrow the theme for the party is not pity but
SET BIG CRAZY GOALS!
