2008. A new year. Two weeks ago I celebrated my birthday; the big 3-0. So now I'm in a new decade of my life. I got my real estate license in March 2007, but a few weeks afterwards I was offered a job that I couldn't turn down. The salary, benefits, and responsibilities we too appealing. I took it and decided to put real estate on hold. But only for a minute. Now I think I'm ready. But ready for what? Juggling my already busy life with being a wife, a mother to a busy toddler, a friend, an employee, AND an agent? Being the problem solver in yet another portion of my life? Am I crazy?!
I decided to enter real estate because it addresses the passions in my life. I love problem solving. Give me a book of logic problems, crosswords, and sudoku and you won't hear a peep for hours. I like helping others. It seems that my friends are always coming to me for advice. In my other life I'm an Accountant, Financial Analyst, and MBA. So I love analyzing numbers making things work. I love houses and everything related to them. Look at my Tivo and you can see that. Most of all I love any kind of challenge and defeating the odds. But apparently what I don't love is too much free time.
Nevertheless, with 2008 and turning 30 I'm opening a new chapter of my life. I've been in my job for about seven months, so I guess I'm still kinda new. I've created a new website to try to market myself and plan to send mailers in a few weeks. And I'm going to try blogging. Yep, once I hit that "post" button below I'll be new to that to.
What's the point? Other than typing this so people walking by my office won't think "why is that idiot talking to herself" is to say that I'm ready for new beginnings in my life. And I'm taking my first steps. Will it be a challenge? Heck yeah! But remember I said that I love challenges. And I'm going to hang in there. If anyone out there is reading this and can relate, just know you're not alone. It's going to be a long race, but we'll finish.
