Tom Peters said, ““If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade.” No one listening to this show right now is responsible for the pandemic that is destroying the worldwide economy while taking fewer lives than the seasonal flu. It’s a strange and challenging time, but it is precisely during times like these that shrewd people sense the changing opportunities, respond to meet them and make or grow their fortunes. And it is precisely during times like these that people who are close-minded, stuck in a rut, or simply resistant to change will suffer.
Today we begin a conversation about the opportunities presented by the world-wide pandemic. We want to be careful to emphasize “ethical opportunism.” We are not here to prey on the misfortunes of others, but there are going to be people that need solutions. It is possible to help people, provide solutions, and make money at the same time. And this is exactly how we should present ourselves - real estate solutions providers.
“Most people don’t recognize opportunity because it often comes disguised as hard work.”
“Opportunity paged me, beeped me, linked me, emailed me, faxed me and spammed me, but I was expecting it to knock.”

Motivational Thoughts for the day
“I guess I just got lucky. I’m lucky my alarm clock goes off at 5 am so I can get to the gym, get a full workout and still be at the office before everyone else. I’m lucky my car can connect with the internet and play educational recordings during my commute. I’m lucky my office has electricity so I can turn on the lights and stay late. I’m lucky that I’m not interested in TV but would rather enrich my life through reading and research. I’m lucky that I learned to push on even when life gets difficult or I just don’t feel like it on a given day. I’m just lucky like that.”
“A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.”
Francis Bacon
