I have built this site to share insights into seventy-plus years of good times and some that were a challenge!

I have made more mistakes than most, and I am not looking for a trophy or bragging about losing; every loss and mistake, I learned something, sometimes twice; however, being resilient and never quitting has its benefits!

I am a Broker Realtor, so some blogs and articles may be about helping Realtors in London, Ontario, or other salespeople or small businesses, and some about mindset, attitude, abundance, or never quitting! 

The main reason 80-90% of new London Realtors leave the business within two years and before five years, another 50%-60% do is they underestimate the time, energy, effort and finances to build a sustainable business.

I could say the same about most small businesses or professionals as well. 

The second reason is they do not treat their career as a business.

The third is handling losses, disappointments, discouragement and immature expectations that being a salesperson or owning a business is glamorous or easy!

This is the reality for sales people.

Well-intended (but misguided) “experts” in any industry send anyone down a freeway to frustration and failure.

Why do 'motivational gurus' or 'loud speaking experts'  talk about the importance of “tuning in” to clients’ desires and needs in one breath, then turn around and tell their unsuspecting victims that unaccountable “look at me” image marketing is the key to their success?

“Image” and “look at me” marketing is the surest road to the poor house in London real estate or any other small business.
