Embrace Change

As 2011 winds down and 2012 ramps up, I wanted to share with our readers the following thoughts from Seth Godin which he wrote on his blog recently:

Unexpected turbulence

Is there really any other kind?

If we see turbulence coming, we tend to avoid it. The art is in knowing that turbulence might come and looking forward to it, bracing for it and embracing it at the same time.

If your plan will only succeed if there is no turbulence at any time, it's probably not a very good plan (either that or you're not going anywhere interesting.)

See you soon !

Take Control !

We have made a concerted effort in this Blog to keep on message for the Real Estate, Retail, Finance and Construction industries.  However, periodically we see the need to go off topic. Lately the flow of unwanted email has become so outrageous that I and several of my partners are actively UN SUBSCRIBING from these solicitations.  During the course of writing this post I have received 6 unwanted emails in my inbox from companies selling books, seminars, services, loans, property, you name it.  This unwanted constant distraction is an impediment to getting things done.  I view those who blast out these emails negatively.  Their products and services might be valuable, but the message and method of delivery gets in the way.  I now subscribe to the Seth Godin method of "permission marketing."  Take control of your inbox and take control of your day !
