Hello, Ryan Sears here. Vice President at the Gilliard Group.
It’s the same old story everywhere you look these days “the sky is falling”. We can’t turn on the news or read the paper without hearing how bad the economy is, or how bad the real estate market is. Well I am here to tell you that it’s all a bunch of hogwash.
Flat out… this economy is ripe with opportunity. Especially in real estate. Many people are dismissing real estate because prices are falling. Lower competition is just one of the things that have brought about great opportunities in this market. We have a different set of challenges than we did several years ago. Before, the challenges were finding sellers and getting properties under contract, now the challenges are finding buyers and securing financing. It’s not “better” or “worse” than other markets, it’s just different.
So what’s the solution? One of the most important things you can do is surround yourself with people who have a positive mind-set and are doing what you want to be doing. This will begin to change the way you think about business opportunities, investing, money, family and life. A quote I know to be absolutely true:
“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”
-Jim Rohn
By surrounding yourself with like-minded people, you will begin to see clearly the opportunities that are available. Through networking you will be able to acquire the knowledge and resources you need to succeed. Whether you’re just starting out or you are a seasoned entrepreneur, networking is one of the highest and best uses of your time.
There is a great opportunity to surround yourself with some of the most successful people in the Baltimore/Wahsington DC Metro Area coming up on March 26th. You will hear great speakers (including Kenneth Gills) and network with like-minded people. I highly recommend attending this event (I know I will be there).
Our very own Kenneth Gills was named one of the top CEOs in the Baltimore/Washington DC Metro Area. You can here him speak live along with 3 other top CEOs at the “BE PART OF THE SOLUTION” event hosted by Inspirion Inc. on March 26th from 6 – 8 PM in Vienna, VA.
