Time Is Money – So Use It Wisely

I want to talk today about something with which we are all familiar. I believe that we need to keep this in the forefront of our minds as business owners. This term is “opportunity cost.” The idea of opportunity cost is, “what are you missing out on when you do x,” the idea here being […]

Change: Threat, or Opportunity?

I talk a lot on this blog about change. That’s partly because so much change has happened just during my time as an appraiser. I’ve seen the advent of laser measuring, electronic forms, and most recently, remote appraisals. This industry is seemingly in an almost constant state of change! Change seems to be one of

Your Business is Your Business

           When I first started coaching, I was told by many people that I should write a book. I was on fire with the good news that you didn’t have to be frustrated with your job, working long hours and getting nowhere. I had a model that I had found to
