It's the small things...  

I do not recall as much, seeing the small things in civilian life, but I think we all do.  As an example, Theresa and I got word they were installing our lighted sign on the outside of our new Community Hub (tm) at 4S Commons Shopping Center.  I admit, I was a bit nervous.

NEW BUYER:  We have a non contingent buyer looking for a home on the south side of 4S Ranch with privacy in the back yard.  A view home or a large lot would be a bonus, but not required.  They can do a very quick escrow if that is helpful!  Just call the office.

Those of you that have used Mike and his company know you can trust him to be fair, professional, and do great work!  He can be reached at 760-802-5539.  He is also likely the best landscape contractor in San Diego County!

(It's the Small Things continued )

After taking the group picture we stood near the doorway looking out into the parking lot. A young man about nineteen or twenty years, old walked past the front door of our Community Hub. He then stopped and abruptly took a couple steps back and looked at the four of us. A genuine smile emerged on his face as his eyes lit up. His deep brown beautiful eyes against his dark skin were captivating. I could see the excitement in his eyes. He then said very clearly, "A new business... Are you hiring, any jobs available? I sensed the hope in his eyes as well as in the tone of his voice.

It immediately reminded me of the difficult time that America is confronted with right now. So many very talented people are willing and able to work but simply cannot find employment. On the flip side, small business owners are fighting so hard against a difficult economy, limited availability of lending and ever tightening regulations and taxes.

My gut response was ready to yell out, "darn right we are". My heart was telling me, that I not only wanted to give him a job, but also fifty or five hundred other people just like him. Then my brain and common sense screeched on the brakes.

The young man and I had a good discussion. I asked if by chance if he had a real estate license, but he did not. He was very articulate and we wished him the best of luck. As Theresa and I look back to today,  I will likely mix up the particulars of our build out and the sign installation, but I will never forget the look of hope in that young mans eyes.  I will keep the spirit of his hope alive and we will work hard to achieve our goals. Near the top of our list is the sincere hope to provide more opportunities for others.

Enjoy your week,
