Have you even had an afternoon off (yeah right!), looked forward to some quiet reading time and been overwhelmed by the shelves full of\u00a0thick novels,\u00a0success books and\u00a0hi-tech, how-to manuals?

The Little Voice<\/strong>\u00a0
\nBy the end of a long week in this business of ours, you can be pretty tired. This week ended on a particularly poor note for me\u00a0as one of my fellow tri club members was fatally attacked by a Great White Shark during a morning group swim.\u00a0\u00a0The real estate market is especially volatile and change is afoot.\u00a0 At times like this it can be helpful to\u00a0reflect on your goals<\/em> and your expectations<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0Pay particular attention, as you fine-tune those objectives and create your strategies, to that little voice in your head. You know the one: the voice that pops up and tells you some of your goals may be a little too lofty. That slight feeling of negativity that creeps up and quietly suggests you should perhaps\u2026 think about\u2026 maybe considering\u2026 possibly\u2026 revising that weight loss target \u2013 or the number of closed transactions for the year. It is the voice of doubt that tells you more deals would be a better goal for next year; after all, this year is going to be a tough<\/strong> year. As a matter of fact, this voice inside suggests, just getting through the rest of the year without weight gain will be accomplishment enough. Spend more time with family? Start that blog? Lose weight? \u201cWhy don\u2019t we save the truly aggressive goals for next year, when we are more prepared<\/em>\u201d is the very logical compromise often proffered by the little \u2018helper\u2019 inside us all.<\/p>\n

Learning to Fly<\/strong>\u00a0
