Realtors Need a Stimulus Package!
March 3rd, 2009 categories: Beyond Real Estate
As a Realtor, a stimulus package from the government would be nice. If it’s good for AIG to receive billions, why not us? Imagine, all NAR (National Association of Realtors) members receiving a check from Uncle Sam for a million dollars because our industry has been hit by such a negative downturn. Those of us in Arizona would receive 1.5 million because our state has been hit the hardest.
Well, we know that’s not going to happen, so our only option is to put on our “big girl” or “big boy” panties on and create our own emotional stimulus package. Here’s my thoughts, and the great news is, it won’t cost the government a penny.
How many time have your heard “Attitude is Everything”, well, it is. Although we are on a rough road, feeling hopeless and complaining about the situation won’t help. We need to figure out how to stay positive, and work harder than ever knowing that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Check out www.happyrenews.com
Turn off the news. We as Realtors know better than anyone what’s going on out there, we don’t need Matt Lauer to confirm it over and over. I’m not saying to turn a blind eye to what’s happening in the world, just don’t over load yourself with negative media news. Be informed, not inundated.
Concentrate on what you’re grateful for. We all have things in our lives to be thankful for. Our families, kids, friends, pets, our health. We live in the greatest country in the world where possibilities are limitless if we are willing to work for them.
Make a gratitude list and read it daily.
Stay focused on solutions, and share them with other people. We are in the place where we need to think out of the box, come up with new ideas and not be afraid to try them. Through imagination and creation comes thoughts and actions that will help lead us to recovery.
Support your fellow Realtor. We are all in this together and need to support each other through it. A laugh and some kind words goes a long ways these days.
Optimisim, PASS IT ON. If you need a pep talk, call me. (928) 533-6377
