Posted on 02. Feb, 2009 by Jay OHare in Career, Getting Things Done
Over the weekend I read a blog post from Brad Feld regarding the difference between panic and urgency. It’s written by the head of an unnamed start-up company and I think it has relevance to many real estate entities today.
In recent weeks, many of my business contacts have discussed the economy and the pressure we [...]

Then I tried an application called Nelson [...]

Posted on 18. May, 2007 by Jay OHare in Getting Things Done, Info
Just because things are going great doesn’t mean you win. Just ask Marco Andretti who lost by 6/100 of a second at last years Indy 500 after leading the final lap.
In fact, 11 times in the past 15 years drivers who were leading late in the Indy 500 race failed to win. Also in 11 [...]
