A STIMULUS PACKAGE FOR REALTORS! FABULOUS!
March 13th, 2009 categories: Lifestyle
Would I ever love a stimulus package from the government–you bet your life I would. If it’s good enough for General Motors and AIG, I am sure it’s good enough for me! Imagine every National Association of Realtors member receiving a check because our industry has been dealt a body blow. Even though Chicago has been a better market than most in the country–Realtors could use some help. We all know that we’re not going to get that check so what can we do? First of all we need to create our own emotional stimulus package–and this just isn’t for Realtors–we’re all dealing with the same negative energy. We must first come out of the corner, put down our blanket and stop sucking our thumbs! Here are some thoughts that won’t cost the tax payer a cent.
- We’ve all heard that ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING forever and it truly is everthing. We may be on a tough uphill road now and complaining about it is sort of like complaining about the weather–the road and the weather don’t care about our complaints. If it’s tough going up, think how great it will be when we go downhill again and the pendulum swings the other way.
- TURN OFF THE NEWS. We know our local market and it can be very different from other market places–we don’t need the generalizations and negative news that the national media feeds us. It is important to be informed, not inundated.
- Gratitude. A gratitude list is a big help–write it or read it at least once a day. There is so much to be grateful for–a job, family, a good office, and in Chicago, a sunny day!
- Focus on solutions. Let your mind roam and explore all the possibilities you can think of–we need to be thinking creatively without limitations. Imagination and creation can bring ideas that will help our recovery.
- Support each other, Realtor or non-Realtor–pass a long a compliment, a kind word and a big smile.
- Optimism. Feel it, be it, share it! If you need a positive thought, all me–312-981-2360, direct line, or cell phone, 312-607-1306.

Right on! Sucking our thumbs and focusing on the negative will not help anything or anyone. We all need to look for that light in the tunnel and move toward it . There are good things out there…look for them.
