Renewing a Commitment to Train New Agents
This morning started very early. It was time to renew my certification to mentor new agents. I was there with bells on.
The real estate industry can be very financially lucrative, but it has added so much more to my life. I have the confidence to know, with 100% certainty, that I can provide for myself and my family in good times and bad. My world has become a very big place, mingling with agents all across the country daily 
here on ActiveRain, and meeting new people in my own town every day. It's a great feeling to be respected and liked, and to have people say hello just about every where you go. Clients are so much more than a pay day. They become your neighbors, part of the community and when you are really lucky, friends.
The big one for me lately is knowing that I am making a difference in a new agent's life by training them and helping them get their career off the ground is so satisfying for me. I love working with my mentees and bringing them along. It rejuvenates my love of this career, which can chew you up when you are out there with buyers and sellers all day.
When I first got my license in February 2005, you would never have been able to convince me that that the thrill of selling a house would be even better when it happens to someone you trained. I am so proud to see my mentees succeed.
And on this very day, I am sending a referral to one of my graduates of the mentee program. He's blossomed into a fantastic agent and his skills are in areas I have none. So we are going to have a great business referral system. I'll be handing off my best friend to him and I have no reservations about it. And she's so convinced that she's already got another client in mind that could use his land expertise.
Life is better when you give back....and so is business.
It's great to build up your referral base with people you know, trust and helped groom.
