Flooding in Clarksville

Riverside and 2nd Stree

Riverside and 2nd Street

Taken this morning by Bob Heisinger, this is what our area downtown looked like. Amazing!  Right now we are expected to crest 60.5 ft by the pm!  Please be careful out there because the Cumberland is expected to peak this pm in Nashville and that means it is still headed our way and to peak later this evening.  It is being said that we will be below flood stage, (46 ft) in the pm on Wed!

Stop the Quarry off Exit 1

Update: On April 22, 2010, A representative from The Rogers Group admitted to an Oakland Hills resident that called on behalf of the stopthequarry movement the plot outlined in the satellite photo IS one of the two sites they are considering in the Todd County!

I was called from a neighbor a couple of days ago about a problem that might be arising that will affect all the homes off Exit 1 around the Trenton/Tylertown Roads.  She went to Kentucky yesterday to get a plat of where this Quarry will be built. It is shocking how close it is to our subdivisions on the North side of Interstate 24!

Below I have placed a copy of the plat, so you can see if it will affect your area.  We understand that this is being built right inside the KY line but they will be using Trenton and Tylertown Road to get to the Hemlock. Not to mention the blasted that will shake all of our homes! Read the rest of this entry »

Proactive or Reactive?

In all areas of our life, not just our job, we might find ourselves more reactive than proactive.  Being Proactive is getting things done before you have to react to the bad that comes from not doing it ahead of time. Normally it is bad things.

When we aren’t proactive we tend to look like we are lazy, don’t care or not very organized. Sometimes we can’t help it that we are reactive, especiallywhen we are so busy it is hard to keep up.  Our intentions are good but our life might be a little chaotic at the time.  That is when I would suggest we stop, look at our life and decide what we can do to make it a little bit more easier.  We are the ones that cause the chaos or serenity.

When we aren’t proactive, people tend to judge.  It’s hard not to judge, it’s our human nature but remember that the measure by which we judge is what we will be putting on our self.  We aren’t here to judge but to love.  Sometimes we think that the way we do things is the right way, the easy way and why in the world would someone do it that way?  Our ways aren’t always best for others.  Our ways aren’t always “right”.  The circumstances that lead us to behave and do things a certain way, then learn huge lessons from the wrong decision, might not be the same for the person next to you.

Everything I write on this blog is my opinion and what has been right for me, my family and my business. Or what was wrong and I learned from it.  What is right for me, might not be the right answer for you.  Everyone has to find their own path.  They can learn from others mistakes and that is why it is so easy to write L-O-N-G posts because the lessons learned are sometimes long to explain.  Hopefully my style of writing keeps you reading and not thinking, “Come on, get to the point.”

So, how can we apply being Proactive instead of being Reactive?

Many ways.  Think about how much easier it would be for you to take the first step instead of waiting for someone to ask you to make it.  The one thing I have a hard time with is someone asking me to do something when I knew I should have done it before they called.  For instance, today I showed 3 properties to a client.  I took down the notes of the feedback and when I got back to my office I decided to go ahead and email the agent to let her know the feedback from my clients.  Doing this has taken a weight off my shoulders knowing that she might have called a couple of days later asking how it went and I would not have my notes with me, so I would have to call her back or not remember which homes were her’s and giving a false feedback on a house because I got two confused!  So instead of being reactive to the problems that would arise, I was proactive and made the first step to let this agent know how my showings went.

I just started this and I find that I feel more organized and in control.  Not only that, but it feels gratifying to know that I am helping someone without them having to ask for it!  How I would love for agents to call or email me and let me know how the showing went instead of me calling them and they are still with their client, or waiting a day and then they are so busy with other homes they need help remembering, “Which one was yours again?”

So, are you Proactive or Reactive? I am making a conscience effort to try and be proactive!
