Today’s Bawldy’s Go To…

Posted @ 6:19 pm - Filed under Cool Info, Bawldys

Some diverse subjects for you today. A rookie makes his debut on a premier real estate blog site, and deftly shows us why even big dogs need leashes. Talk about a hard worker! A marketing champ gives us an excuse to laugh out loud while being reminded that many of the so called corporate marketing geniuses — aren’t. A real estate agent sets his priorities anew. We learn pessimism doesn’t equal reality. And finally, we revisit a first.

Michael Stelzner is, at least in my mind, THE white paper guy. He’s also been blessed with the marketing gene. Heck, I think it’s embedded in his DNA. Anyhoo, the video he published on the rethinking of stop signs is spot on, and shows the so called marketing geniuses for what most of them are. But I’ll let you decide what that might be. Go see Project Nightmare: Super Funny Video! I’ve experienced my own version of that video. It’s much funnier when happening to others.

Rocky VanBrimmer is one smart dude. Agent Genius only recruits contributors matching that description. They’re on my reader and are read daily, period. They bring game to the table. Back to Rocky. His virgin post was about his insane work hours. His wife decided, wisely, that he should, uh, modify his work schedule — or else. OK For A Monday shows one man establishing priorities. As I commented — absolutely incredible.

David Shafer is a kindred spirit. We think alike, he’s written as a guest in this space, so it’s no surprise I’m a fan. Pessimism And You says what many of us have been thinkin’ and sayin’ for quite awhile. Ask yourself if you agree with Dave. It’s so often, at least in my experience, those espousing pessimism as the daily meal, have a hidden agenda. Again, IMHO.

And on a personal note, today this blog turns two years old. Every day I remind myself it’s you the reader acting as the engine driving what I do here. We do this together every day. Now how cool is that? I thought it’d be a kick to link to my first ever post. It was titled Old School Real Estate Investing. I read it again today and can remember the first time I hit the ‘publish’ button. Scary for a rookie, but I did it, and have been doin’ it daily ever since.

Thanks to all of you for the experience. I hope the last couple years here have been helpful to you.

“…and remember. The daily Bawldys have approximately 1/365th the value of our annual awards.”
