Wait and See? Innovate? Reinvent? Dramatically Change?

IMG_7397.JPG

I see our current global situation as a time when we should not waste a minute.  We cannot risk being unprepared for a new landscape that could mean a drastic change in what we do for a living.  We may also
fail to see a fantastic opportunity.

It is fine to take time to relax, to sleep, to cry, to laugh, to exercise, to cook, to share with loved ones and
to reconnect.  However, it is also a time to examine our businesses, careers and personal situations. It is key to determine, if what we do as a business and/or occupation, is sustainable during and after this crisis.

It is easy to just wait and see and worry. This approach, in my opinion, can be detrimental.  It could even be more damaging if the correct path is to innovate or to make a change.  Going through the motions or working without a clear vision is a risky behavior.  Avoiding to explore alternatives to face an uncertain future does not help either.  These are chancy approaches that could deliver devastating outcomes.

Change is hard for many people.   Nonetheless,  I am afraid that not recognizing that a new strategy needs to be implemented, can leave an organization or a person lost.  It could additionally create  a precarious situation and many times even the feeling of a loss of identity.

This is a good time to think ahead.  An opportunity  to take a non-emotional approach when analyzing where our current industry or occupation stands.   Reach a conclusion on where it is going.  Some businesses will be forever affected by this health crisis.  Some others will simply disappear.  Some will soar and some will be born.  We just need to be alert, explore, envision, plan and take action.

Thank you YOLO! How can we help?

How to even list the many fun and memorable moments lived with family and friends at our fun spot in downtown Fort Lauderdale:  YOLO.  A restaurant that from the very beginning was the place to be. 
The ambiance, the consistent and varied food and the outdoor area full of familiar faces and excitement.  Meeting at the bar or holding private events at the exclusive O Lounge has always been an impeccable experience, and I would like to highlight YOLO today, along with their welcoming and superb staff.  

I reached out to see what I could do to help them during these unprecedented times and below is the message they want me to share with the community.

Let us support them!  We want our wonderful spots open when we can all enjoy our gatherings again.

beatriz j prillaman.jpg

May marks my 25th anniversary in the Real Estate Business. What a ride it has been.

I am grateful to all of those that have contributed to my success: my uncle Jorge who suggested I get licensed, my instructors, my managers, my friends, my neighbors, my clients, my assistants, my team players, my colleagues, my bosses, my employees, my partners, my coachees and students, and everybody that has trusted me in this exciting trajectory. 

I especially want to thank my two beautiful daughters Pamela and Melanie who patiently put up with, and loved, a mother that led a crazy, intense life. I will forever be thankful for their support, help and now their friendship.  I am so fortunate. Now my husband is the one to endure my craziness and drive. 

Here is to the next 25!! 🤩🏻🥂

Thank you KALUZ RESTAURANT! How can we help?

IMG_2185.jpg

Living in Fort Lauderdale, also referred to as the Venice of the Americas due to its canals and boating life, it is not uncommon to dine by simply docking your boat in our outstanding restaurants.  That is how I was introduced to Kaluz several years ago.  Very good friends invited me to go to dinner and we went in their boat.  I instantly felt in love with their contemporary look and feel, and it became, without a doubt, one of my favorite spots.  Nothing more delightful than one of their mojitos by the water.

I reached out to see what I could do to help them during these unprecedented times and below is the message they want me to share with the community.

Let us support them!  We want our wonderful spots open when we can all enjoy our gatherings again.
