Glad you’re not leaving but growing up…not old in a lounge chair.

I see the movie starting with a gritty Pennsylvania rocker theme, transitioning into a feel good, Texas country/western pic. A man and his wife, leaving their life behind for dusty Texas, life’s high’s and lows, and the decision to take control and life up to your potential. It’s a classic Matt, and all you need to do is write the final chapter.

Doug – It’s a definite case of sometimes you need to see what’s not working to see what’s working. Real estate has a very “trial and error” theme running through it. Much like what I might be doing today won’t work for me tomorrow, what works for you (or anyone else) today might not work for me forever. It’s about finding the items that do work and then staying on top of them in case they start slipping.

I think your assessment is dead on (although I’m not sure the movie would be all that interesting, but if possible, I’d prefer to have Harrison Ford play me) and actually after reading it, I feel quite motivated by it. As I said to Benn the other day, I let myself get beat down a bit – I took the beating and kept on going, but not at full speed. I need to re-correct my course and my speed.

Gwen – I think that should become a motivational quote. You know the kind on the black background posters with kittens hanging onto wires that say “Hang in there Kitty!”

Ken – Only you can tell your stories in a lounger…the rest of us have to sit up straight. Granted, they’re beautifully crafted comfortable chairs, but not everyone can have the poolside seat.

Michael – I think Michael will be an interesting one to follow. His background in marketing should provide useful – hopefully to us as well as him.

Janie – The first few paragraphs were actually written specifically for Benn. I thought he would get a chuckle out of it. It’s been tough through the beginning and I’ve made my fair share of “wish-I-had-thought-that-out-better” moves that resulted in a loss of money or time, but it’s going to be pretty hard to get rid of me.

If you weren’t growing then we would all be worried. Ask any real estate agent how many times they have been forced to re-evaluate their marketing strategies, presentations, how they fit into the market, or what the market needs them to be in order to be successful.

Matt, I’ll be honest with you. You need to sell more homes, get the money in the bank, pay down some bills and then write about your resurrection. I am willing to bet that you could write a book (and maybe a movie deal) if you can deliver an ending we can all cheer about!

Matt, I don’t care if your feet are stepping up or down, as long as they are still kicking ass!
