As I sat down trying to decide on what I would write for my first blog ever, naturally I thought about my real estate career (or should I say the career that I want). Everything that I've learned up to this point the question that comes to mind...do I really have a shot to make this a career?
Let's admit the facts of being drawn to this business: (what drove me)
I was tired of being told what to do and when to do it.
I was tired of giving my input and hard work and not getting ahead.
I was tired of not being compensated properly for my hard work.
Sounds like complaining right? Well that was just it! I don't want to complain! I want to do something great! Once you make up your mind that you want to be a part of greatness; being the cause for greatness; the feeling just wells up inside of you and you feel like you just want to burst!!
Which leads to my question...now that I have the passion and discovered my why (because you have to have a why), what now? See as a new realtor, although not a stranger to the business, how do I harness that desire to guide me through and turn it into a career? Doing the right activity; spending more money after spending so much already on just getting my license; when will it all pay off?
This is what I've come to realize; it is not about the money, whether I spend it or make it, but it is about how I grow. How I give back. What is going to be my contribution to this business. See, it is not about what you get, it's about how much you give. I believe if I keep attacking it with a pure heart and keep this passion for the business, the career will come.
So, back to my original question...Does this new realtor really have a shot? Honestly, I think I do!
Till next time...
