Start up costs - RE Agent

Over the past 2 months I've been learning alot about the RE profession. I have written a detailed business plan, marketing strategy, lead generation strategy and sales script. I will be getting my real estate agent's licence in February 2015. By Februray 2015 I will have about $10,000 saved up in my bank acount. 

I am aware that the first year is generally the hardest. Realistically, I wouldn't be too shocked if I did not close on a single deal (hopefully that is not the case)... My question is: is my $10,000 savings a good enough start up fund/ safety net, to get me through to my first closing.

Also, I would like to get some good criticism/feedback of my marketing ideas and business plans that I have written. I would like to know if the content within these   are Specific Enough, Achievable and Realistic. Also, please let me know if there is anything signigicantly important that I have left out. I would really appreciate an evaluation and honest feedback.                         

Thank you,

Jake Colvin
