Annual Bawldy Award Nominees — What’s Your 2¢?
Posted @ 7:45 pm - Filed under Cool Info, Bawldys
There’s so many important tasks on our plates this time of year — laying out your plans for world domination being just one of them, right? One of my tasks is picking the Bawldy Bests of 2007. Your input is much appreciated, and will have significant weight.
That’s code for, ‘Please tell me your favorites, but I’ll still be making the final decisions.’
The following is my short list for year end awards.
As usual with these kinda things, don’t infer any importance from the order in which they’re listed.
Kevin Boer’s post of June 29th addressing, If Alan Greenspan Were A Realtor.
Max Whitmore’s piece, More On The Dropping Dollar which explained in plain English why the dollar dropping wasn’t the end of the world by any means.
Rich G. over at Simplerich wrote a non-real estate related piece on August 14th called The Set-Up. It was for Rich a chance to show off his skills at just writing. I said it was a good read then, and nothing’s changed. It reaffirmed, for me anyway, why we should often put our immediate ‘real time’ reactions to life’s little surprises on the back burner. That one strategy allows you (me, all of us) to retain what’s important for the big picture, or long view.
Jared Sanberg wrote a piece well over a year ago titled, Why Multitasking Doesn’t Work. Unless you’re wired differently than the rest of humankind, your brain simply can’t get the jobs done — or if they can, the quality suffers measurably. You’re not that good, no matter what hype you’re feedin’ yourself. Nobody is.
Steve Farber shows us via video of one of his speaking engagements, what an OS!M is. Your recognition will be instantaneous once he explains it. I know Steve personally, and he’s 12 ounces in a 10 ounce cup in person.
Brian Brady reveals real time empirical evidence of the BawldGuy Axiom — Lenders Lend. I include this post to illustrate what is so often lost in the unceasing Chicken Little approach applied by mainstream media on subjects near and dear to us all. When Lenders Stop Lending, Another Lender Lends caught the axiom in real time application. It was no coincidence Brian was the pro who captured the moment for what it was.
Chris Cree gave some folks another reason to blame for their lack of success back on July 28th. His piece on Hard Work is kind hearted without losing it’s razor sharp cutting edge. Well worth revisiting, especially this time of year.
Brian Brady explains Hard Money Lending so even a real estate agent can understand. Buy At Eight. Sell At Twelve. Repeat is the best I”ve read on the subject as far as simple explanation. I’ve been both a direct lender, borrower, and purchaser of hard money trust deeds. For those who think his method is risky — you should stick to tax free treasuries and call it a day.
Your suggestions and comments will be appreciated. Good, bad, or ugly — we’re game.
