OK, so this is just a venting blog! I have been in the business for about 5 years now. I love my career, it's easy to be a workaholic when you are doing something you love to do. When I first got into the business, my main goal was to become an investor. I wanted to learn the business so I would be knowledgeable and earn quick capitol. Well I was sure in for a reality check when I activated my license and did not sell a house or know what I was doing for a year and a half. I was doubting myself and my ability to do what I thought I wanted. I was about to give up when something inside me told me to keep going. I switched companies and my career took off. I was one on the top selling brokers in my office, I got an award for commissions earned and I was most importantly gaining knowledge and experience with each transaction. My confidence and my area of expertise is growing and I am having more fun in my career as time goes by. My dream of investing turned into a dream of owning my own company. Still wanting to invest; just not the top priority right now. This year I made my dream come true, I left RE/MAX and opened my own company. So far its doing great, and growing! I have sold many homes, but non above $700,000. My next goal was to get a million dollar listing and sell it. Not only for the commission, but for the knowledge and experience of it. I am half way there. I listed a 30 acre horse ranch, and its just under a million. I have had so many calls the seller is overwhelmed. I am confident it will be in escrow soon!! I am learning more from this transaction than I have in the past. The more you know the better you can represent; And I want to be the best I can be. I can say the most inspiring lesson I have learned is if you really want something you can do it. What I have learned about myself is I am strong. Strong willed, strong mined and passionate about what I do. I understand there can be obstacles, and I believe in myself to come through it to a very satisfying outcome. One of my future goals would be to motivate and inspire others to set goals and believe they can and will reach them. Well that is all for now. I will post again when I sell the horse ranch...
