Camera died, email corrupted, cell phone died and the car won't start; that just the last 7 days.

There's a couple ways I could play this.  I chose to see these as opportunities.  I borrowed a camera for a few fays, after an hour on the phone with cell phone tech support I got a free replacement that has better features, after a lengthy call to my web provider they cleared the spam filter that was corrupted and email came back, then it turned out the car just needed a battery.  In the middle of all this I rented a car and went to a closing that yielded a $10K commission check and my wife decided to come back into the business with me.

Being a self employed Realtor at RE/MAX is the best thing I've ever found.

It helps to have a great attitude so you have the ability to keep moving forward when challenging things happen.

You have a wonderful, positive attitude. I just got into real estate 3 years ago, just as the market went down,  but I've found it rewarding in so many ways. In spite of the down market, I've found a niche, for now, that works for me.

Postive attitude is everything.  You just take a deep breath and move on and things will come back into place because you wanted it to.
