Gretchen – Thanks. Yeah, it’s easy to get tar babied up in crap that drags you down. rock on:-)

Susie- Yep, I read the post and I couldn’t leave a comment, too many things to say about that subject. As a sales manager I feel all the pain and dumbfoundedness of how people approach the business and absorb the obvious. The jokes and rolled eyes from the people who think Facebook and blogging, etal is kids stuff, make a man want to pimp slap them or drink. I choose drink and SM on….um…that’s Social Media for the record. Ha, ha. Hit it Susie.

Rerollercoaster – I like that, Keep your head up…I’d add “and on a swivel”. I’m like you, I want the light on and I wanna see what’s goin on if you know what I mean. Thanks for the comment.

Charles – Thanks for the compliment, it makes me happy to know you benefited. thanks for sharing.

Wow this speaks to me. I heard another good piece of advice recently which doesn’t fit with the “quit” paradigm but also challenges you to change: Everyone keeps telling you to keep your head down and ride it out – that’s wrong. You should keep your head up – at least you will see the bullet coming.

I just last week quit trying to teach classes at my office. Why? The deer-in-the-headlights stares were starting to affect my attitude! If you haven’t seen ZipvoGreg’s rant, I reblogged it a few days ago on Active Rain. He had the kahunas to post my sentiments exactly.

I quit going into the office almost immediately. No one else blogs so they don’t understand I have work to do.

I quit wondering why agents think their franchises should bring ‘leads’ to them. I’ve never thought of potential customers as ‘leads.’ To me, potential customers are initially casual acquaintances who have gotten to know me and WANT to do business with me because they have gotten to ‘know’ me by reading my blogs.

Etc., etc.! Great post Ken.

I love the Schopenhauer and Einstein quotes.

Quitting taking over priced listings and mailing postcards is so hard to convince people to do, yet they fret about their lacking business. This is a strong cup of coffee for agents who want success in the new Millennium.

It’s a battle right. All those voices in my head telling me to hang in there, blah, blah…some times it’s smart to hit the eject button.

Thanks for reading….I guess I’ll keep sharing then. Thanks for sharing with me.
