“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot” – Michael Altshuler
Whether the new year started with a grand display of sparkly fireworks or the peace and comfort of an early bedtime, the speed of time passing seems to get faster as we go, even though we’re issued the same 24 hours each and every day. Some days we achieve greatness in the form of organization, or goal setting and achievement. Other days it’s a miracle just to make it home to the sofa. But each day we are healthy, we are given the chance to try our best again.
Bringing us to our second inspirational quote:
“Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go. They merely determine where you start.” – Nido Qubein
Every day that we get to make a new choices, we see if the outcome differs for the better. There are those among us that excel at determining where they start each day, and their success becomes ours to witness and learn from.
So begins 2024 with Jack Bailey and the constructive crew at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. They are already making a strong presence for the new year. Lucky 13 is how they landed the top spot.
Only two behind with 11 sides in second place is Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Masters in Port Huron, Michigan. Off to another great start for Jeff.
Third place goes to Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna. Seven is already lucky but with six of those being seller sides, we know folks were serious about saving.
A triple tie for fourth place with five sides each is how we love to see progress. Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties in Hawaii, John Powell at Help-U-Sell The Powell Group in Tucson, Arizona, and Mario Ferrante from Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan share the high five.
