It has been said over and over again. If you follow your passion, the money will follow, happiness will follow, it is not work....the list goes on. Here is a nice example of it.

Via Ginny Lee, CRS,Americas Best Agent,Naples,FL (Americas Best Agents, Inc):

It is really funny because I lucked into real estate but it is my passion!

While trying to support my kids as a single Mom I was working 5 different jobs to make ends meet. I was selling corey coffe, selling make-up, being a hostest in a restaurant,modeling and doing commercials. While modeling I was hired to be the welcoming hostess in a new apartment development called Parkmore Apartments.

While I was there the developer Redman Development asked me if I wanted to be the assistant manager. Wow was I excited...not only did I get a full time job but I got a place for me and my 2 children to live! It was an answer to my prayers and a way to get back on my feet after a horrible divorce.

I worked hard and rented lots of apartments...In fact I rented so many that Redman Development sent out their top guns to see what I was doing to rent so many.  I said it was easy I loved where I lived and wanted everyone to live there too!

Soon I thought if I can rent these maybe I should get my real estate license and I could sell real estate and make bigger commission so I did it...got my real estate license and started to sell condos when no one even knew what they were...but I loved them...I found my passion...There is nothing greater then finding someone the perfect home. 

To me it is like a treasure hunt...first I get to know what my buyers  want...where they want to live and how much they want to spend and I start searching for their treasure...The Best Home ...In The Best Area...At The Best Price!

When I find it I have found the treasure and I sell it to them and we become friends for life! There is no place like home and when I can find it...it is a dream come true and nothing is better then that...I find dream homes.  I could do this with no pay but I do make lots of money...it is easy when you follow your dreams!

Just another note...that first apartment development I worked in Parkmore Apartments...I went back and sold it and converted it to Condos! If you can imagine we had one bedroom condos for only $19,000 dollars and no one thought we could sell them...we sold 19 the first day!

The whole  complex had 666 condos and we sold them out in less then a year...those were the good old days and I loved them.

The  point of this story is just follow your passion and the rest will follow...If you can dream it you can do it!

Angelica,

Thanks for reblogging Ginny Lee's post.  I was browsing AR and found this.  What makes me smile is that my Darlin's name is Ginny Lee!
