The Makeover 2 Takover contest has me really thinking about my business, again! I started blogging at the beginning of Project Blogger and reeeeallly wanted to be an apprentice. Instead, I followed along and learned a lot about blogging and social media along the way.
When this contest was first announced my first thought was "How Cool". Then I got to thinking (watch out scary road ahead) and realized I'd love the opportunity to be mentored by someone like _____________ (any of this list would suit me fine & Jim Crawford is just down the road).
I planned a month off from blogging on Active Rain to redefine my business plan, it sucked but I needed that couple of extra hours a week. I still read and commented, just chilled on the posting. And I'm actually breaking my AR fast one day early for this post.
That said, I would love the opportunity to mentor someone beginning their real estate career. You see, I was a managing broker for a larger franchised company with 3 offices until a few years ago. I now own a niche independent brokerage with approximately 60 less agents, those who are with me now are all experienced and I really miss the excitement of working with "rookie" real estate agents.
It was a good step for me personally, but what I miss most about working with new agents is:
- Initial Enthusiasm
- Willingness to try anything before judging whether or not it works
- Someone having more "time" than "money" to dedicate to their business
- An absolute dedication to a 100% effort in having a SUCCESSFUL career in real estate
- Enjoying the natural high produced by enthusiastic new agents taking large leaps with their business
And most importantly, I miss the things I learned on my journey along with new agents!
I don't have all the answers, but maybe together we can discover some of them, if you are interested in being mentored by and working with a broker from Georgia in this contest, read my profile for more info and get in touch with me. Let's see if it you think you can stand to work with me!
For all you other newbies out there, please let us know in the comments what YOU are looking for in a mentor!
