Well....as they say life changes.
I don't know how many of you are aware of it but I have been a part-time Realtor for the two years that I have been in the business. I have conducted myself in an utmost (well in my opinion) professional manner and have always been able to meet my clients needs and be there for everything needed. It has taken some creative shifting of things but I have always gotten it done.
As of yesterday, August 20, 2007, I gave myself a birthday present (don't forget...August 24th) and jumped without a safety net. After 18 years in the fire service and having a LONG way until retirement I have decided to turn in my two-week notice and go full-time with real estate. I know crazy considering what the current market is doing but I have always been able to hold my head above water and keep on the positive side of cash flow.
After much consideration and prayer my wife and I decided that it was now or never. I do have my family's complete support on this which made it easier.
The fire service was really wearing on me. Many years of seeing things that no ordinary person sees can really take a toll on someone. I came to the point that I loathed going into work and that is truly no way to live. My wife had told me that I had become a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde when it came to doing the fire service and the real estate business. She made it known that I was always much happier when I was doing something related to real estate.
So....here we are. Life has changed. I will admit that I am a nervous wreck right now but I have a full head of steam and am pushing forward with my dreams.
Any words of encouragement or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading my ramblings....
