Yes, even Madonna. If you watched the Super Bowl halftime program last night, you may have seen Madonna stumble during her performance. It wasn't much. It was just a second of unsure footing, but it was there. This icon of pop music, a true professional entertainer, stumbled. And you know what? She kept right on going and I'll bet most people didn't even notice!
The lesson here, and yes, there is always a lesson, is that no matter how good we get at something, no matter how professional we are, there always comes a moment when we can stumble. The lesson, as my piano teacher in 8th grade used to tell me is, don't stop. Keep going and make the rest of your performance as perfect as you can. Most people will never notice the one flub.
No one is perfect. We all make mistakes, both small and large. The key is to keep moving. The other key is to let others who make mistakes keep moving as well.
I really like it when I wonder what to blog about and the ideas just seem to come from everywhere. Have a great day, don't make any mistakes today, but if you do, just keep moving!

I wrote a post last week about losing the earnest money for a client. It was a tough one because my client is a military guy and everyone really wanted this deal to go through. Well, after writing this post, http://actvra.in/s9w, the loan officer ended up getting the deal to go through!
This deal had died more times than a cat with 9 lives. It just goes to show that you can never give up. I realy do not like the word, NO, so I always say, Yes, but.
In this case I really had all but given up. Persistence paid off. We are closing today at 4pm. There will be a soldier that is very grateful that everyone working for him did not give up. I can't wait to see his face today when we hand over the keys to his new home!

I am in a deal right now where my Buyers have been touch and go on getting their VA loan. I have resurrected then many times when they were on the edge of defeat. The listing agent, also the home owner, has been patient, very patient. I spoke to her Friday and after telling her that we needed one more extension until this Wednesday, even though these extensions are costing her money, she said fine.
We spoke about my clients. He is in the military right now and his fiance is 2 months pregnant. They are being kicked out of their home Monday, 3 days before we can close, by an angry ex. When I told the listing agent this she immediately said, let them move in this weekend. She said she believes military folks have served this country well and they deserve every chance to own a home. This is still giving me goose bumps.
In the interest of privacy I cannot give out names, but just suffice it to say I am honored to be able to work with an agent of this calibur. We close on Wednesday afternoon and I am very much looking forward to meeting the agent/Seller of this home.
