What will business be like in 2011? Some “experts” say higher rates some lower, some say higher prices some lower, some say more sales… well you get the picture. It doesn’t seem to take much to get on TV these days. So what will the real estate business be like in 2011? I’m fairly certain of two things.

1. If anyone really knew, we’d have to make a pilgrimage to a mountain top in Tibet to talk to them.

2. It will be what you make it.

Bill Heavener tells the story of 3 baseball umpires arguing about how to call a game. The first one said “some are balls and some are strikes but I call ‘em like I see ‘em.” The 2nd one said “some are balls and some are strikes but I call ‘em like they are.” I think the third one said it best “some are balls and some are strikes but they ain’t nothing till I call ‘em.”

John Herrigel uses the quote “The best way to predict the future is to create it”. Take classes to know more, practice to build skills, and muster up the discipline to do what it takes to achieve long term success vs. short term gratification. 2011 won’t be nothing ‘till you call it.
