2. Name the
seven dwarfs
from Snow
White and the
7 Dwarfs. (No
Googling it.)
I'll give you a
second.
Time's up.
(That's a
quick clock.)
3. I got 4
of them right ~
Happy, Sneezy,
Dopey and
Grumpy ~ and
then went to
wikipedia.
The remaining
three: Doc,
Sleepy and
Bashful.
4. Okay. Now
that we've
established that,
which dwarf are
you most like?
(Even if you're not
a REALTOR®
you can
answer it.)
Time's up again.
5. And let's just say
you're probably a
cross between two of
them ~ one major
and one minor.
Like ~ you're Grumpy
(major) and Sleepy
(minor): Everybody's
walking on eggshells
around you and you
can't hardly keep
your eyes open
watching TV at night.
You? Not you?
6. Then maybe you're
Doc (minor) and
Bashful (major):
You're (oh so) very
smart, but then again
you're afraid of your
own shadow / timid /
too scared to share
your opinion on
anything. (You hate
confrontation?)
Not you either?
7. And I guess the point I really wanted to make here
by getting you to think along these lines is this:
For every REALTOR® (/ person in any career or
place) there's a different personality. Right?
8. And just digging a little deeper into the real estate motif
and to take it a bit further:
Snow White ~ bottom line, she needed to be rescued ~
just like the housing market. I know, I know, Prince
Charming came into play with the kiss and all (I'm not
portraying him as the government here either), but it was
really the seven dwarfs that guarded Snow White,
ultimately, and kept her safe so she could
eventually be saved.
9. So we, too, with all our "7 dwarf" differences (as
REALTORS®), must stick together, support each other
(it doesn't have to be a foreign concept even across
competing brokerages) and see this thing through until
Prince Charming arrives (the economy turns around).
(The real estate market is really about the people involved
doing real estate as it is anything else.)
