Weather or not the market gets you down..is up to you!

Being amanager for Remax equity group I get the opportunity to talk to a Lot of people on a daily basis about the market, the good and the bad. I am trying my hardest to keep a positive attitude in the office by being honest about what is going on but really leading the charge to a better tomorrow and the years to come. We will all survive this market and I would venture a guess that not too many people are going to die from this. And what do they say "if it doesn't kill you it will make you stronger" yahoo for that logic. Agents are my customers these days and man it is hard sometimes to see people struggle especially when you know they are doing all they can to get business. i look across the desk at times and I just don't have anymore answers, I have no magic words, I have no joyous words of hope and mostly I feel like I let them down. At night before I drift off to sleep I run my day through my mind to see if I could have been more productive, if I could have been a better person, you know let the guy in front of you on the road type of stuff. could I be a better leader in these tough times, I am brought face to face with my demons just like the agents are every day. There are days that life seems easy and other days you just want to be a cabana man in some swanky hotel serving drinks to the rich and famous..oops did I use my outdoor thoughts? I am here to tell all of us that in a few years we will be having the same conversations about pricing, buyers not deciding fast enough, sellers not listening to us about pricing and other agents dropping the ball but the market will be rockin and we won't have the time to dwell on the negative. Put yourself in the future right now and listen to your self talk and if you hear negative Nellie replace it with positive Paulie because life is to short to hang with Nellie.
