Making a Stupid Mistake and NOT Regretting It

Ya’ll are not going to believe this!  I did something incredibly stupid a few weeks back.  How did I ever survive it I’m not sure but here I am to tell you.  😬

And do I regret it?  Nope, not one bit … Well, that’s not entirely accurate.  Let me explain:

A few weekends back my wife and I ventured out to Dallas, Texas.  She is 6 1/2 months pregnant and wanted to run a 5K race; they called it the “Hot Chocolate Run” I do believe. 🏃‍♀️☕

Now, I’m not a fan of going hundreds of miles away and spending a ton of money on hotels and food just for something one can do in 30 minutes in their own neighborhood …. I’m just sayin’.

BUT … she had fun.  And to be honest so did I.  She did more than run a race.  She had great bonding time and fun with her friends, me and the baby.

We all went to Great Wolf Lodge afterward and spent some much needed quality family time together.  It was our last getaway before the newborn arrives in a few months.  None of that was a mistake, of course.

My stupid mistake was in thinking it would all be a waste of time, energy and money and actually telling her that a few months ago.  Not the smartest thing but to her credit she doesn’t hold grudges and for that I am blessed.

So what don’t I regret?  I don’t regret going although I wasn’t very keen on it in the beginning it all turned out better than I could have expected or imagined.

Times like this I often reflect on my clients and their situations and it got me thinking … have any of them ever said they made a stupid mistake in buying or selling a home with me?  Anyone?  😧

And you know what?  No matter how much I think on it … Not one person ever has said that.

Ever ….   😌 👍

And why is that?

Well, a lot of it has to do with the sound advice I give each and every client which helps them determine their best course of action.

You see, sometimes the best course of action is for a client NOT to take a certain action they think they should or they want to.

That’s where I believe my job is the most important and the most difficult.

But ultimately helping a client by giving them the best advice possible so they don’t make a stupid mistake is what I am here to do and that is definitely NOT something I will ever regret.  😊👍
