Motivational Monday - "New Life Among the Old"

Steve Hoffacker's Motivational Monday Photography and Inspirational Message

One of things I find fascinating about citrus trees (this just happens to be a lemon tree) is that they have new blossoms while the current crop of fuit is still on the tree. Always thinking ahead to keep rengenerating itself.

Many real estate agents (and others for that matter) forget this basic principle.  When things are going well, they completely forget about marketing.  Then, when the well dries up, they pick up their marketing tasks again.  Instead, it should be a constant practice so that, while you are harvesting the fruit of your labors, more fruit is growing!

Hi Steve...This is a reminder to all of us that we cannot rest on our laurels.  We have to keep growing.

Steve:  So now there is a Motivational Monday?  I'll have to check this out.  Who doesn't need motivation on Monday?  :)

Ahh, to be like a lemon tree.   We too need to divide our effort between the crops we are currently harvesting, and preparing the next harvest once the current crop is gone.  A great picture and a great lesson.  Thanks Steve.

Steve I know that picture wasn't taken up North.  Not at this time of the year.

Kathy,

You're absolutely right that marketing needs to be a constant activity or we will work through our business and find ourselves empty. :)
