John Wooden on Real Estate

"I'll take mistakes over perfection for a hundred points--but not a lot of mistakes"- John Wooden

When the real estate market tanked a few years ago many people were affected and I was one of them.

It's a lesson learned--the hard way. But one we shouldn't brush under the rug. 

Truth be told, there are a lot of us, and I want you to know that you're not alone. And like a fallen comrade in arms, I humbly suggest we should share each other's load by sharing each other's lessons learned.

We need each other.  It almost sounds overly dramatic I know.  But I realize vulnerability, however hard at first, can be ultimately rewarding, for it brings people closer.  There's just not enough time to make all the mistakes one can afford in a lifetime.  I want to learn from you as much as I want you get something out of my researches.

And like all things, time can heal the deepest wound.  I love what John Wooden on page seventy-four of his book My Personal Best,

"Please don't make a second mistake because you're thinking about the first". 

No we won't make the same mistake twice.
