Act rather than React


Act rather than Reacttake action. Don’t wait for others to lead.

We must lead and take care of others. Today’s technology platforms give us the means to be proactive. Connect with new networkers to explore opportunities of mutual interest.

As an example, I started the “Land Development” group on LinkedIn and now have over 8,500 members from around the world. Where else will you have a forum in which to connect with like-minded professionals?

I have stopped watching the news. It seems that the emphasis is on the tragic/dark side, on political correctness, and on the upheaval around the world. Our values are under attack everyday! We are looking for facts and not opinions. Do you really think the editorial board of the NY Times influences us? If you read the newspaper, you will be left behind.

This goal goes hand in hand with relentless preparation. Reacting will be too late!
