FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT: SAL MANSO – Page 2
Business in Q1 of 2019 was better than it was in Q1 2018 but it wasn’t as robust as we planned. We still have a long way to go to get on track with our 2019 Business plan. The housing industry in general is not doing as well as the rest of the economy and that effects us. On top of that our market Chicagoland is behind the struggling Household market of the United States.
With all that being said the economy is doing well. I’m not fan of our President but I do wish him well health wise and I would like to see him more Presidential and a nicer person, but I don’t think that is going to happen. He has actually done a lot of good things for the country unfortunately he keeps making statements that really upsets many of the people like me. But the economy will get us through this and the housing market will rebound.
Reebie has been successful for many years, success is sometimes defined in wealth, but I believe its more about character. Those of us who are most successful live happy lives and have happy relationships. I for one try not to say a bad word about anyone and I also try and show respect for everyone. That to me is Success.
