If you can find a "Vocation" that is fun and rewarding, then "work" becomes an oxymoron...
Living in Florida for the past 10 years, we enjoyed the real estate market almost always trending upward. I would describe our career as mostly fun and rewarding. Over the past 18 months, we have witnessed the contraction of the real estate market, it's still fun but would you call it rewarding?
What is the difference between "Work" and "Vocation"... to borrow a brief definition of both, work is the focus on completion of tasks and a vocation is work demanding of a special commitment...
Clear as Mud?
To simplify... it's about redefining your work in what makes it rewarding to be a real estate agent... and I don't mean money... here are a few thought starters:
...freedom
...creativity
...community
...purpose
...hope...
We enjoy a great life as real estate agents, I challenge you to pick up your favorite book or buy a new selection that will help you work toward enhancing your definition of reward... whether it's the Bible, or the 7 Habits; either way, if you're working strictly for the money then you are a long way from a vocation...
