What was the thing that made you finally get started?

Hello,

I was curious what was the one thing that made you finally get started in real estate? I am making the steps to get started after being the "education cycle" for several years. This past year, we lost my mother-in-law suddenly in August to a ruptured aneurysm at age 60, and soon after, my husband was hospitalized with pancreatitis for 10 days in September. He had another minor bout this month, but is back in the hospital again this past week. Before all this happened, I had left a company I was at for 23 years because I was miserable in the job I had to take another job with a smaller company. I have had to miss over two weeks so far because of all this, and while I my company has been understanding, I am am afraid I may lose my new job for missing two much time. I met a local successful realtor who is in need of a full time assistant, so I am considering applying for that position, and I will also be signing up for a coaching program next month with my local REIA. We are blessed to have some savings set aside currently. I feel I have found my why now to work for our future and claim our lives back.
