I sent a direct message to a friend on Twitter about a job. When I told her about my real estate business being slow, she replied that if I am still hanging on to this business, then I am probably “Herculean.” When I think of Hercules, an image of a very strong man comes to mind. Yes, I have been strong and sometimes wonder how many more tests can I overcome. This last one of Sparky passing on nearly broke my heart.
What has allowed me to remain strong this week was something the vet replied when I asked him a question. I said, “How come I didn’t see it coming?” Meaning, the cancer. He died only a couple of days after I found out. The vet replied that he was a very strong dog. I used to run with Sparky when he was a puppy. It was unbelievable to me how fast he ran. He ran like a horse and for a Labrador was pretty big. He weighed about 110 pounds. This whole week, I have remembered what the vet said and in Sparky’s memory, I have managed to remain strong even though I am still in pain.
My efforts to tap into the REO business have been tremendous. I do believe I am close to getting the listings. But on the other hand, I could flop and not get “in”. I have made some good connections to getting my foot in the door. I hope all my efforts will pay off. (more…)
