I gotta say today was one of the longest days ever. I drove down to detroit to meet with a local broker about working for his company. At first he was reluctant to deal with me, in about 5 minutes into the conversation he said to me “come back in six months” But yall know me I don’t go down with out a fight. Needless to say we had a meeting that ran an hour and a half which means I won!! Technically I didn’t win. He broke down all the real facts about going into realestate, basically saying if you want to make this work you have to work full time and quit your job. Its about passion do you have it?? Heck yea I got passion but passion isn’t paying my bills right now!! Yet still he told me he would be willing to take me on and wouldn’t let me fail which made me feel good about the whole thing.
After visiting my mom I headed home (another hour) and I thought about all the things that I am dealing with. I want my income to go up so bad and I know I would make a great realtor, but with my financial situation I just cant see myself walking away from everything. I know people do it a lot but im not willing to be one. I wrote the guy an email and told him thanks for taking the time to speak with me. I decided that if this is really something I want in my life I have to be an adult and make the right choices and sacrifices now. Once I am outta debt and have 6 months of income saved, then quiting my job would sound more plausible and at that point if its a year and a half from now its worth the wait. I mean honestly I don’t want to be harrasing customers because my food depended on it. Anyways its been a stressfull day but tomorrow will be better, this i know……

Girl if the economy was better I would say just do it but it’s not so think it through like you have and when you’re set financially with the cushion in the bank to fall upon then “go for it.”
Whenever you do decide I’m sure you’ll be successful at it because you have that “drive” that’s necessary to succeed.
