An excerpt from "This is Marketing" by Seth Godin

No one is happy to call a real estate broker....

They're afraid.
Nervous.
Relieved.
Eager to get going.
Anxious about the moving.
Stressed about status gained or lost.
Concerned about the future.
Worried about their kids.

The broker is a speed bump on the way to their future.

I hope I can always be far more a chauffeur than a speed bump!

I’m almost finished with “Flow” by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. My biggest take away is that in order to be happy, we really need to set goals for ourselves in everything we do; not arbitrary, vague ones either. Very real obtainable goals that push us to challenge ourselves and become more complex individuals means adding structure into your life and we all need more of that.
