Next week - Tuesday and Wednesday - I'll be in Monterey for our Turning Point. And, as always, I'm really looking forward to spending time in that great town. Over the years my good friend, Joe Niego, and I have been to Monterey countless times and I always look forward to the next visit. It's not just the great food, the clean sea air or the spectacular scenery; there's a particular charm to that town...maybe it reminds me of home!

Either way, I hope to see you there for our two-day event. If you can't make it to Northern California, maybe you can join us closer to home - we'll be criss-crossing North America througout the year and there's always time to work on your business, learn something new and connect with like-minded individuals. We're having a great time connecting with both our Members and new folks across the U.S. and Canada - hope to see you soon.

It's a good life!

You guys have heard me say it before...I love this business and I love the people who work in it. The really inspiring thing about what you do is that no matter what's going on in the market, you still get out there and make things happen. The very fact that you are an entrepreneur - willing to risk all and forge your own path - says all that needs to be said about your spot in this great business.

I'm proud of you guys. I'm proud of this industry. So let's go make something great out of this year!

It's a good life!

Just a word of encouragement for those of you out there battling on the frontlines of real estate.

It's a good life!

I just wanted to remind you of three simple facts:

• Prices are down
• Rates are low
• Competition has eased

This is called opportunity.

It’s a good life!
