I'm not a big football fan, but I felt euphoric after watching the Saints win the Super Bowl. Hard work, coupled with believing in yourself, often delivers big-time payoffs. It also reminded me, giving up is not an acceptable option. These life lessons are applicable in business and personal endeavors and are not limited to national sporting events.
Today I received an email from a want-to-be-homeowner. The odds are not in his favor, but they are not insurmountable. He career is in public service and I appreciate his dedication to helping others. I plan to give my best effort to help him realize his home ownership goal. It may take some time to achieve it, but anything worth having often requires delayed gratification and sacrifice. They Saints waited over forty years to have their winning moment. My client's wait will be short by comparison.
I'm hoping with a little help from the economy, some astute debt reduction and increase in income my client will have a place to call home in less than twenty-four months. Maybe sooner if a raise and a roommate materialize.
Go Saints! And thanks for inspiring us to never give up our dream--whether it be to win a game, or be a winner in the game of life, our best effort is never a failure.

Sandy - Going the extra mile is good for the client and good for the agent too.
I found the game inspiring today too. It was the first football game I watched all season, and worth waiting for!
Well done Norma!
Love your attitude Norma...focusing on how you might be able to help him rather than just turning him away as some might do. I too was inspired by the whole Saints Superbowl experience.It's a great (true) story!
