Time.  It is our most over-looked resource and probably our most valuable asset.   We all waste time to some degree, some more than others.  Are we accomplishing anything?  Are we (as they say) moving the needle?  Are we making a difference in the company and our lives each week or are we just spinning our wheels to only find ourselves unchanged at the conclusion of 2014?   Moving the needle, making a real difference, is much about what you accomplished this morning, today, this week and this month.  Often I hear people complain “time flies by too fast”.   “Can you believe it is almost July already?”   The most successful people I know…guard their time jealously and fight for each second.  They don’t waste time or take it for granted; they live in the moment and simultaneously plan for the future.   As the ancient Chinese saying goes, “Live each day as if you’ll live for a thousand years and die tomorrow.”  Where does your time go?  Does this Monday seem like last Monday, and all the Mondays before?  One of our gifts of being human is the ability to look forward and plan for the future.  But does it make sense to do so at the risk of the present?  Do you go to work only to look forward to Fridays and vacations? Every moment of today is a gift.  As the author Tom Cunningham wrote, “This is not a dress rehearsal.  This is it!”  Break the mold, shake off the bad habits of yesterday and Carpe Diem (Seize the day)!   Grab it with both hands around the throat and demand of time to give you all that you want and deserve.  And you do deserve it. We all know the saying “Today is the first day of the rest of your life” and so is the next five minutes.  Stop what you’re doing and seize the very next moment to do something special.  It doesn’t matter what, call a customer, do a good deed, give someone a compliment, sign up for a class, decide to open up another office…do whatever it is that you have been putting off.  Seize the very next moment in your work and your life, and then keep going. Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Donald Trump and YOU all have one thing in common (at least):  exactly 24 hours each day.  They don’t get more hours and you don’t have less--so make the most of every one and move the needle!

SETCO Services is excited to see that a survey released by the University of Florida last week shows that there is an improvement in Florida’s real estate market for the first quarter of 2012. 184 real estate analysts and investors responded to the survey. According to survey results, the university’s Commercial Real Estate Sentiment Index reached its highest level since 2007. The survey indicated that the increase stems from an improved job market in the state as well as more individuals renting homes. We hope to see  more results that mirror this in the near future!
