The Unexpected Positives in Real Estate
ByI remember my father telling me that he "hates surprises". He did in deed, I remember some surprises popping up time and time again and he did not handle them well. He also seemed to function on "stress", whether or not it was needed, he loved to stress. You know when you meet people and they are looking for something to worry about, that was my dad. He lasted 74 years on this planet and during his passing I had the blessed chanced to square up with everything that we might of had rifts with, in our past together. It is funny, I miss him every single day, and have since he died in November of 2004. There will always be an emptiness that I will feel whenever I speak with someone from back home.
I might have a lot of his attributes, like the anger thing, it takes a lot to get me there, but once I have arrived watch out. But as I look back even that I have been able to put in check. At least with my last 17 years with the LAPD. Real Estate, now that is another story. But that being as it may, I have a lot to be thankful for. I am thankful each and every day for even the most simple of things. By doing this on a constant basis I have really been able to amplify my appreciation for the great things that present themselves to me in this life.
Example. I was able to quit after 17 years with the LAPD, I was not one that hated the job, I had been building this Real Estate Business for the last 10 years and it was just "time". There was no event that happened, or a whistle that blew, it was just "time". Shortly after I quit I had a plan but I did not understand the various ways I could implement that "plan". I met Jeff Turner through a Lender that I happened upon on Active Rain.com, named Martin Rodriguez, SCV Loan Solutions, 818.437.8354, www.scvloansolutions.com, he introduced me to Jeff Turner with www.RealEstateShows.com and he was able to unlock my way of looking at things within the advertising realm and how to apply my Team Spirit and Play it Forward Attitude.
Several Months Later I was looking around on the INTERNET for a Blogging solution that I could have someone build for me and where I could, with a phone call, have it maintained without effort by me and having to be a HTML expert. The writing, I can do, I was looking for a blog that did not look like everything else out there. I had Danny Valdez at www.linkurealty.com build the header, and I found my blogging solution with www.kineticknowledge.com and Chris Frerecks and Kristen Veraldi. Just the time spent on the phone before I bought this solution would have been enough to keep me busy with the marketing of Paris911 and Connor and Paris MacIVOR in the Real Estate community of Santa Clarita Valley and Beyond. But it did not stop here.
No Sir, It was these "Surprises" that I was elated to have happen to me: Jeff Turner and I are friends. Kristen and Chris are my friends. Martin Rodriguez is my friend as well. These people are responsible for me having that open mind and the tools necessary to be successful. The work, that is me, the tools that is and has been these aforementioned people. What a Blessing!
