No Inman Connect for Me this year

And I can’t remember a time when I’ve been more utterly disappointed about something.

Quick rundown – 5 pm flight out of Richmond, Virginia only to be diverted to Charlotte, North Carolina because Atlanta was shut down (no longer available) due to weather. We left Charlotte (but never the plane) around 11:30 pm to arrive here in Atlanta at 12:30 – my flight to San Francisco left before I arrived. 7.5 hours on a plane, and nowhere near where I wanted or needed to be.

I was so looking forward to this conference – to meeting people for the first time and others for the second or third – and sitting on the panel on Thursday, but I couldn’t guarantee that I would make it to the West Coast before 4pm on Thursday – only to return home on a 1pm flight on Friday.

Back to real estate (and home later this morning).

Taking Vacation. And Stock.

I'm taking a vacation soon. I tell my clients that I am "grudgingly" going; but ... after reading my friends' Kris' and Jay's posts, I'm striving to readjust my priorities. I have systems in place, an extraordinarily competent agent poised to cover for me while…
