I doubled down on business of course. Real Estate will lead the charge out of this pause, which is now on PLAY by the way.

Double-down. Just like in 2008's economy, agents can find their niche and flourish. Today, I can't think of a better business to be in than real estate. But I don't know if it's good for NEW agents. I'm doing well because of past contacts and knowledge of the business plus standing in the community.

Doubling-down but, also had an inordinate amount of commute time that I was no longer using. So, I spent that time as personal time and have loved every minute of it!

I've been doing what I can within the restrictions of what we're allowed to do.  I have taken this time off since it's highly unlikely any of my vacation plans for this year (England, Ireland, Scotland, Tennessee) will be happening.

The beauty of our real estate industry is that we are mandated to be fair and equal to all people no matter the differences.  It's the law and our license is at stake.  It becomes innate and makes us proud to be human beings.

So I have definitely diversified my income stream for my online biz and it has paid out.  April was surprising a record month. Due to several program cuts from the virus, May was looking to be sad and lean.  But, due to April's diversification, it now looks like I'm $3,000-$5,000 higher than I would have been.

I'm stuck here anyway (in NY) so at least I'm investing in my biz.
