17 Reasons Why People Do Anything



This post is written for realtors (since this is a real estate blog), but it really has application no matter who you are and what your career. Why are you doing what you're doing? Have you ever asked yourself that question? There are simply a whole lot of reasons why we do what we do and why we find ourselves where we are. The fact is many of the reasons are good reasons, but there are some bad reasons for what we do and where we are, too. I've kinda mixed the good and the bad altogether in the following list. It's meant to give you a chance to evaluate your own situation and see whether or not you should keep doing what you're doing - or maybe it's time for a change?
