In this blog, we talk a lot about staying on the cutting edge of the industry in order to be prepared for any type of appraisal call that comes in. But there\u2019s a flip side to this theory that was tackled this week by the \u201cYou\u2019re the Boss Blog\u201d in The New York Times<\/i>. A recent blog post discussed how much can be gained simply by saying, \u201cNo.\u201d <\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s often heard that in your personal life, saying, \u201cNo,\u201d is a good way to keep yourself from being overextended. By agreeing to every volunteer opportunity or doing every favor, you can tend to lose focus on what\u2019s truly important in your life. In business, a related theory holds true. Whether you are a new CMEA or an established one, know what you\u2019re good at. Find your niche market and become an expert. Then, if a new or potential client asks you to appraise something you don\u2019t know about or branch into an area you\u2019re not comfortable with, be willing to say, \u201cNo.\u201d According to the article, failing to do so will cause you to spend more time on the job than you would normally, which will cause you to lose money in the long run.<\/p>\n

The NEBB Institute provides a large network of other CMEAs with whom you can discuss this and other industry issues. If you\u2019re interested in learning about how other CMEAs created successful businesses, contact us today<\/a>!<\/p>\n
