Are you one of those agents who is easily influenced by negative media or the long faces of your depressed colleagues?

If so, then this market is much worse than you think.
Why? Because while you spend your time wallowing in the doom and gloom, serious-minded agents are rising to the challenge and capitalizing on the opportunities that today's market presents-the ones you're leaving behind.

That's the bad news. And the really bad news is that when the tides of economic change do turn, those agents will have already developed trusting relationships with their sphere of influence, niche markets and business-to-business networks. They'll be positioned for expansive growth and unparalleled success while the "Negative Neds and Nellies" of the real estate world remain knee deep in "what's wrong with the world." My suggestion? Don't join them!
