It finally happened.
I was on a business call the other day and they finally popped the question I predicted months ago would happen. They asked me if I was involved in with the famous TV infomercial guru.

Learn to break
A very popular show on television features dancers of all kinds, learning new dance forms [and struggling] where they eventually receive a vote whether they will continue to the final show. [I think they win money, but I'm unsure because I've only seen 2 episodes. Ever. Years ago].

What to do?
I went to a seminar a couple months ago. It was mixed with new and seasoned brokers, one who commented she closed 50 deals last year. The host was impressed and I was too.

Getting things right
I’m just finishing a brand new marketing campaign I designed myself this week. I’m about a week overdue with sending out the last phase, and I’m afraid I’ve lost a lot of momentum. The campaign consists of different kinds of mailings, one in particular with had to be personally delivered.
