A Lot To Be Thankful For

I have been writing Thanksgiving articles and commentaries for a long time. Every year, I try to find a different approach. I worry that everyone reads the same old words from everyone else, and that it may start to sound mechanical. But, I’m not sure what else to say, other than THANKS SO MUCH for the opportunity of working with all of you for these many years. Some of you may be new advisors to The Ohlson Group/Safe Money Places family. Many of you have worked with us for more years than we want to admit. We know each-other’s spouses, kids, and have socialized together. That’s what really makes these relationships special.
 
This family-owned boutique firm has many great years ahead of us. But we know that we are “running for office” every day, and can’t take your “vote” for granted. We have to earn the vote. We have been earning your vote since 1975, when I first opened Ohlson and Associates. So, you know that I have to also be thankful for this unbelievable staff. And, I am so thankful to be in the greatest business in the world. Sure, we have challenges, but what other industry doesn’t? Think about it… we have a shrinking sales force, and a growing market in need of our services. My friends in the real estate, flooring, and automobile businesses wished they had this situation. So, I guess another thing to be thankful for.
 
In closing, I think that we all know that we should be most thankful for our families, our health and our friends. Let’s also not forget to be thankful for living in the greatest country in the world. I hope that you will have a happy, safe and healthy Thanksgiving. I hope that you know, that we are thankful to be working with you.

Until next time… good selling!
