Humor, personally, is how I get through things but this recession has given me little to laugh at. And I really have to work at remaining positive!

Love your writing, Ken.

One of my biggest flaws and thing I enjoy the most, is the odd ball way I explain things. I know it’s often hard to read and sometimes the dots don’ts all zen-up and connect, but you know how its i, you gotta say it like you feel it. Some of those weird ones took hours to write them weird like that. In this particular case, I wrote it fast because I wanted to get it out there now, as I was preparing to share the same at tomorrows team meeting.

And you’re exactly right, like everything else in real estate, things are rarely, really about the thing there’re about, it’s about the impact on all the other things that orbit around the thing. It’s Gestalt stuff. Which is to say, it doesn’t matter if good or bad things happen, if you double your efforts and have a Plan B, you’re prepared and positioned to make things happen.

Cheers Matt.

What I love the most? The daily checklist. I’ve never seen one that actually accounts for activities outside of the human realm (ie the internet/social media). To me, this is a good concrete example of how all of those things (face to face and keyboard to keyboard) can be used to reach the goals. I know you wouldn’t waste paper on them otherwise. I do have one change to suggest: under Facebook you can create a “# of mobsters gunned down or vegetables raised _______________” – print this in red ink.

Although I try to avoid too much negative thinking, as some may see this, I think this is just smart business. Plan for the worst and you’ll be prepared for everything else.
