In much of the country, kids are back in school. That is certainly the case here. This means that although it is 95 degrees here, my summer break from blogging is over. It is time to start writing again.

The other great thing about this time of year is the start of football! Tomorrow I’m taking my boys and heading to Nashville to watch the University of Kentucky kick off their season against Bobby Petrino and the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. Feel free to post your snide remarks about UK football in the comments.
Earlier today, I received an email from one of my former coaching clients, Chad Grout. Chad is a master Commercial Real Estate Broker in Nashville, TN and is the owner of Urban Grout. His email was so good I want to share it with you.
Five Reasons Commercial Real Estate is Better than Football
- You will get to play every position at some point in your career.
- You can make more money playing for both sides at the same time.
- If you don’t do your job you don’t get paid anything at all.
- You can play as many games as you want and only your wins are counted.
- You can play hard until you’re 90 years old.
Five Reasons Football is Better than Brokerage
- There is an off-season.
- You don’t get yelled at when the other guy drops the ball.
- Regular paychecks!
- No matter how bad you screw up, you always get another chance.
- When you get blind-sided, at least you have pads.
So let me hear from you. What is your favorite thing about this time of the year? What other parallels or contrasts to do you see between CRE and football? Post your comments below!
