Tip Jar: Have a Bad Day
Success does not exist without the SUCK. So our tip to you: Embrace those bad days! They are going to happen.
When did it become a belief that success comes easy? It does not. It requires hard work, hard knocks, and sometimes a hard head to finally see the fruits of success. Success without the suck just does not exist. We've all see the billboard...Bill Gates started Microsoft in a recession! That's what I am talking about. To achieve success you have to not only deal with moments of suckiness but also see the opportunity in that sucky moment.
Let me put it like this, sometimes you just have to cry through slicing that smelly onion to get the sumptuous flavor in your recipe!
I challenge you all to work through the SUCK to claim your SUCCESS.
Speaking of some well-earned success, congratulations to REMAX ACCESS in Northern Liberties, Philly for coming in at number 3 for the entire City of Philadelphia for total number of transactions (properties sold) in 2011. What a great year! Everyone simply kicked butt.
Money Motivates – 3 Tips You Can Bank On (Video)
Money Motivates: 3 Tips You Can Bank On (Video)
I recently had the opportunity to speak in front of 300 Insurance Adjusters, thanks to an invitation by Dr Mike. I met Dr Mike aka @drmikempa on Twitter and from there that is where he invited me to speak at the conference. He asked me to share my experience of success and motivation as a business owner and independent contractor for both The Somers and REMAX Access.
The 3 main tips/topics that I went over in detail were:
- It is a Numbers Game
- Do Not Step Over Dollars to Pick Up Dimes
- ABC: Always Be Closing
Here is the video:

2012 Predictions from The Somers – Obama will be reelected President
It is that time again to make bold predictions as 2012 is right around the corner! So let's just get right into it!
1. Barack Obama will be reelected as President of the United States. 
2. Mitt Romney will be the GOP candidate.
3. The United States economy will see improvement each quarter in 2012 (which bodes well for the Obama prediction).
4. The turnaround story for 2012 is Housing.
5. Republicans will gain seats in the Senate and the House.
6. The Stock Market (all three indexes DOW, S&P and NASDAQ) will see double digit gains.
7. Congress will continue to look like idiots being in gridlock on every issue.
8. Mortgage rates will remain low but will finally start to trend up the second half of the year.
9. The Green Bay Packers lose in the Super Bowl to whoever they play in the AFC.
10. The 76ers lose in the first round of the playoffs again.
11. The Philadelphia Phillies win another World Series.
12. Carl Greene ends up in jail for solicitation.
13. The Occupy movement is quickly forgotten (no more mic-checks!)
14. Philadelphia real estate heats up locally, especially fringe areas as the first time home-buyer drives the market.
15. REMAX Access continues to take market share from its competitors in Philadelphia.
What are your predictions?
