They actually give life to the terms “bossy” and “bossing around.” Just as you hate it when people acted like they are the boss of you in grade school, you also do not like to be bossed around when you finally earned your degree. However, your boss hands you your monthly paycheck so you have to endure all his or her games because you want to get paid.

A month or two ago, I read an interesting article in Forbes Magazine. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find this article online or I would include a link for you. The article was an interview with author Jim Collins, known for his best selling book “Good to Great.”

In the interview, he said that he learned a great deal from studying Bill Gates. One of the biggest lessons he learned was that it was important to have “Shock Absorbers” in your business. Here are two definitions of shock absorbers:

1. Resilient bearing which, in a watch, is intended to take up the shocks received by the balance staff and thus protects its delicate pivots from damage.

2. A device or a part that cushions and absorbs the impact of a wheel going over an obstacle, which makes for a smoother ride.

The first definition hints at “protection” and the second definition highlights the “smoother ride” concept. These definitions could be interpreted to the following for your business:

Business Shock Absorber: What protects a business from loss of revenue or from unexpected expenses.

Examine Microsoft’s balance sheet, and will be able to see the shock absorber in that business. To save you the effort, I’ll point it out for you: It’s $25 billion in cash. The Fortune article relates that Gates keeps several years worth of expenses for his business saved in cash. This would allow Microsoft to weather almost any threat to the business, including competition, loss of revenue, recession and changes in market demand. Even more importantly, the stockpile of cash lets Microsoft stay focused on the corporation’s long-term business plan. Without this shock absorber, it would be forced to defer long-term business plans to generate short-term revenue.

Side note: For the first time ever, Microsoft just issued long-term debt, raising capital through bonds for business expenses that might potentially include stock buybacks and possible acquisitions. Even though it has enough cash for these things, Microsoft and Gates appear unwilling to let go of the cash “shock absorber” in place. This safety net stays going forward.

Financial planners generally recommend we create an emergency savings account, holding three to six months of living expenses. This “emergency” savings account would then only to be used to cover large, unexpected expenses or a loss of income. It is not to be used for frivolous purchases. This emergency savings account is a “shock absorber” for your personal finances.

Most would agree that such an account is critical protection for personal finances. The issue is that we real estate agents don’t have the same kind of regard for our businesses. We need to have the same kind of shock absorbers in place. We really need to have two emergency savings accounts — one for our personal living expenses and another for our businesses.

In hindsight of the past two years, this probably makes a lot of sense to you now. Hopefully, you had cash set aside for leaner times before the leaner times hit. Regardless, this is a lesson we all need to learn now. Gates is not one of the world’s richest men by accident; he’s in that position because of long-term thinking and contingency planning. Gates has backup plans. He plans for problems in advance.

What are the average monthly expenses for your business? Get your number, then set a goal to save six to nine month’s of your business’s average expenses. As the market rebounds, make a real commitment to set aside a portion of every commission check and put it toward your shock absorber. This shock absorber will protect the business and let you stay focused on long-term goals.

One final note: When you have this shock absorber in place, follow Microsoft’s example and don’t use that cash until you have to.

According to 2000 Census Data, Gen Yers (or Millennial) are poised to make up the bulk of the overall US population within the next 20 years. Millennial are member of the generation of children who were born between the years 1977 and 1994. There are over 84 million Millennials in the population now. One quarter of the US population is part of this generation. They are a diverse group with 1 in 3 non-Caucasian and 1 in 4 from a single parent home.

Millennial purchase homes because of their desire to own a home and establish a household, but are less emotionally tied to a house. National studies from 2007, indicate that three quarters of the home buyers were between 18 and 24 years old, falling into this group.

This generation is computer savvy and knows that more information is just a click away. This also means that the competition is only a click away as well. Millennial want data, but they also want to work collaboratively to reach their goal of home ownership.

Instant messaging is the preferred form of communication, with 68% or more opting for cell phone texting.

Millennial will be well informed on their potential purchases. Homes will not be shopped for days by buyers who want to be driven around to many possible properties until they fall in love with their new home. Millennial will have all of their facts available online and will make the home buying decision swiftly through increased data.

Your Social networking skills become very important. Social networking is ultimately about conversations. Blogging, podcasting, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, My Space, FriendFeed, ActiveRain, are some of many tools focused on facilitating conversations.

The numbers speak for themselves. For example: Facebook – 100 million active subscribers, 30 million photos uploaded daily. LinkedIn – 25 million experienced professionals, a marriage of an interactive resume and your address book, promoting yourself, your properties, or reviewing others. ActiveRain – This is the hotspot for real estate professionals to learn from each other.

As the market heats up, the “boomers” will have to figure out the new rules, technology, and capabilities employed by the Millennial if they wish to sell house more quickly and with less emotion in a changing market.
