This year has been the most politically fascinating season I’ve ever witnessed. We’ve had wall-to-wall media coverage, been deluged with political ads and campaigns and the rhetoric has been ratcheted up the closer we got to the election.

In the midst of an economy in recession and a stock exchange in turmoil I’ve witnessed a lot of people get paralyzed by fear and become spectators watching the news, surfing the net for stories and checking the market by the hour. It seems to me there’s a lot of people who are in a personal recession. So here’s what we can learn from all of this: can you imagine if you canvassed for your own business the way the presidential candidates have done so for your vote?

Can you imagine if you were as focused in your daily endeavors as these two guys have been? Now that the election is decided, how about turning off the tube, stop surfing the net for stories and get out the vote. With slogans such as, “If you know anyone who’s thinking about buying or selling a home please give me a call with their name and number,” “if you know anyone who’s in need of the level of service I provide I want you to know I’m never too busy for their referrals, or the most famous of all the campaign slogans, “Oh, by the way…I’m never too busy for any of your referrals!”

So it’s time to get out the vote, mobilize your database and let them know you are the person they can count on in times of turmoil and that you’re available to help them or any of their friends make a move. If you do enough of this, you too might be able to relocate into a larger white house!

It’s a good life!
