I have been doing real estate full time for about 5 months now...those of you who follow my blog knows me as the new agent who hated my boss and corporate America and was struggling with making the big leap of faith to do real estate full-time.
Why did I decide to quite my 9-5 and become a full time agent?- especially in this market... to be honest - dude I didn't have a choice... well maybe I did..
I went to work one day, it was month end and if anyone is in Accounting.. you know how dreadful those stupid days considered by me as "THE EVIL CLOSING DAYS" 
I was ticking away on my journals trying to get them all completed when I got the news that the only person I really like in my department was quitting... mind you she was the controller, what I call a pleasant spirit and was the person responsible to hiring me....
With the coming of this news also came a so familiar dread, 
my life at this job was going to become even more horrific-if at all possible... I was saddened by the news off course and when the big dog came and asked my for a report I knew wasn't due for another week - she always did stuff like she didn't know that close is a black hole for time and energies... I inhaled and said that this day would be my last... it was the straw that broke the camels back so to speak....
I felt a strange feeling, something like freedom as I left work that day
Two weeks later that feeling was replace with fear... I started frantically looking for another job, and got some offers, but I always had a reason not to take them... then somehow it dawned on me, this is exactly what I wanted... I had some Popeye's and olive garden money saved up and I should do what I really enjoy...tad a tad a !! REAL ESTATE, and while it's not been easy, I am happy to say- I have not really regretted it.. I somehow got bounced into the whole rental market business because of the state of the market, but I am making more money now than when I was working in C-America and I am happy with my growth so far.....
Yeah - goes to show....LET GO and let JAH
