With all of the bantering back and forth and media's ever present doom, gloom and talk of the pending depression, I wanted to write something that wasn't negative but rather uplifting.  I was looking on the internet for some motivational or uplifting thoughts when I came across this one from Gale Sayers, the former running back for the Chicago Bears. "I learned that if you want to make it bad enough, no matter how bad it is , you can make it."

I was too young to have remembered how great Gale Sayers was as a football player.  The University of Kansas star burst on the the scene in the NFL like a rocket and was done playing just as quickly.  He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and like most in my generation is known more for being portrayed by Billy Dee Williams in the TV movie Brian's Song.  It was about his teammate Brian Piccolo and their relationship as Brian was diagnosed and later died of cancer. 

I know that it is another Sports quote, but I thought that this was very appropriate for us in our business.  Regardless of conditions and economics, people will still need to have a place to live.  Others will have to have a place to invest their money.  There is business out there, it comes down to how bad to we want it. This process is just as valid in sports, real estate, or any other endevour in life!  Have a great week!
