No Risk-It, No Biscuit

So ... what's going on?  

Tebow is goin' on in a big way!

The football season is nearing an end for this year,  but Tebow is new, the Broncos are new, and the results are new!  How refreshing and fun is this?  There is a lot of hype and dialogue about this transformation, but I think what sums it up best is : 

NO RISK-IT,

 

NO BISCUIT!

Every coach, every fan, every sports talking head, everybody that has followed football at all, have… considered Tebow a risk. They have come up with hundreds of reasons why he can't do what he does, even when they watch it with their own eyes.  Hello?! Yet, there he is on national television, transforming team attitudes, refusing to listen to the negatives and he's winning football games!

Who took the risk?  Well, his little league coach, his high school coach, his college coach, and now the Bronco organization took a risk on Tebow.  It seemed like a big risk from day one, and when you take risks you open yourself up to ridicule.  But there is one person who saw it differently, and that one person was Tim Tebow himself.  He has never thought of himself as a risk. He knew and saw something completely different from all the others. Tebow see's opportunity. Really? Yes, without question. He see's opportunity in everything he looks at. Opportunity to learn, improve his game, study, help others, contribute … and that results in a "Winner". Risking it, for Tebow and the Bronco organization, has resulted in a very big and enjoyable biscuit for us Bronco fans and football fans in general.

We Fan-atics are loving the "winner part".  But what about the opportunity part?  What about the learn and study part? And what about the risk part? We all want to be a winner, so to speak, but some of us forget to look at the bigger long-term picture and we avoid risk at all costs. Let's take a quick peak at my favorite topic … that's right … Real Estate. (You knew that was coming!)

We are in a RISK-IT market: 

* Fact: Real estate values have been in a downward spiral for almost 3 years!

* Myth: Banks won't lend money. 

* Fact: Inventories of property have been at all time highs.

* Fact: Appraisals?  Torture!

* Fact: Job security, not so good.

* Result: Fear.

Where there is RISK-IT, there is also a BISCUIT:

* Fact: Interest rates are at all time low … like since the beginning of time!!

* Fact: Distressed property values have caused increased inventory  in every market.

* Fact: Banks really are making loans - you have to qualify, but they are making loans for cheep (re-read first bullet).

* Fact: We all want to live somewhere "happily ever after" - that will never change.

* Fact: All ingredients for opportunity are present…right now.

* Fact: This definitely will not last. Re-read that line and give it some thought.

There is risk, but if you look at the BIG picture, the opportunity has never been greater.  All we have to do is, learn, improve our game, study, and contribute … and we too can obtain winning results!

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!  

I hope you have a "biscuit" on your wish list!
