No fooling, second quarter underway

April Fool's Day or not, the second quarter began in earnest tthis morning, and we have 91 days (counting today) to make some real progress toward our 2009 goals. This is the time to put points on the board.

We've had the first quarter to size things up, make some adjustments, and now we should be ready to launch an all-out assault on the scoreboard.

In June, let's agree that we'll look back on this quarter as the big difference maker for our year.

Spring is in full swing, the second quarter is just underway, and we should be pumped.

I hope that it is not just a joke and that the spring market is just beginning.  The phones are starting to ring and hopefully, the buyers will feel confident enough to buy.

Steve,

Spring is not in full swing here, unless you are inside or a polar bear. However, I agree about the second quarter....wow.

Yep... just reviewed the 1Q and am a bit miffed - the sales cycle lengthened on us...  Add that to the goals for 2Q

ToulaRosebrock.comHi Steve:

Hard to believe that the 1st quarter is gone.  Went so quickly...

Hopefully it's a indicator of the rest of the year...

Hi Steve...great reminder and WOW, this year is going FAST!  I am definitely pumped to make 2nd quarter better....I have down a lot of tweaking systems and seeking more wisdom and knowledge...there is so much to learn and keep up with in our rapidly changing market!

Toula,

The first quarter definitely went by quickly. I think I'm still haring some faint strains of "Auld Lang Syne." :)
