Risk, Chances, go bravely

"Take risks. Take chances. Don't be afraid. You gotta go into life brave."

Billy Joel (1949 – )
Singer, pianist and songwriter

You're nothing but a bigshot - I love that song. Are you taking risks right now. I know for many of us just staying in the business is a risk. A risk, that I am sure will pay off in spades in a year or so. I look forward to the time that all this balances out. I was reading Realtor magazine the other day and the NAR chief economist thinks this year and next will be the year of healing, and all that I have read from the Mortgage side of the table suggests the same thing.

Yeah, I know we all heard that home starts have fallen, but I am sure they all will be able to ge back up. We hear the economy stinks, but now is absolutely the bast time to buy.

Before, I got into Mortgages. I worked for a company named PPG. I was a paint salesman calling on the big boxes to the mom and pops around the corner. I used to be so scared to walk into some of those mom and pops stores. Till one day, I realized something. They can't beat me up.

They can toss me out! Call me and my company names! But, they cannot beat me up. My sales sky rocketed. I was "rookie of the year" and "quote buster" two years in a row. When I got into mortgages. I held on to the same believe. I was "top dog" and "presidents club" several months up and including the month I left to open my own office.

Your success is just on the other side of the door. You need to open it and venture in...it is so worth it.
