I started real estate back in August 2009. I decided to do it full time to give it my all. I am fighting tooth and nail to make it work for me. It hasn't been easy. I have made a lot of mistakes along the way. But I truly feel that I am the best agent for my clients for the very reasons Jason Sardi describes in his post titled, Are You Cutting a Promo or Wanting People to do Business With You? Jason quotes, "When you are dealing with someone hungry, smart, and poor ... you can damn sure bet that (they) want it just as much as you." There have actually been some days this year when I literally WAS hungry, so I worked even harder for my clients. Luckily, I have had some friends and clients who have recognized this and have help to pull me through some dark times. Most of my clients have appreciated my hard work very much but the ignorant ones couldn't see the my selflessness if it were written on my bald head. I knew that by making them happy, satisfied clients that at the end of he day, I would then and only then have shelter over my head and food to eat for a little while longer. I am still fighting to find success because I don't give up that easy on anything I set my mind to. It is not easy starting off in a business in which everyone and their uncle is a agent; regardless whether or not they are good at it. It's not easy starting off in the heart of a downturn economy. But it has made me even stronger and has forced me to work even harder to achieve those goals I want to achieve. I have learned more because I have wanted more. I truly find inspiration in reading Active Rain blog posts. Thanks Sardi
When it looks bad, like you?re not gonna make it, that?s when you gotta get mean. I mean just plain mad dog mean. Cause if you lose your head and give up, then you neither win nor live. That?s just the way it is.
