20yr old Just Got My Real Estate License - Need some advice + tips for lead gen.

[Eric Tosoonyan]

I would be very grateful if anyone could help me with some advice and tips on how to begin on starting as a real estate agent in Illinois. I am really excited to start this journey as I have already watched a lot of podcasts from BiggerPockets, I have almost finished reading the book The Millionaire Real Estate Agent from Gary Keller and I have went on and talked to 2 brokerages and 3-4 professionals familiar with the real estate industry. My main problem is that I feel like I do not have any people that I know who are going to purchase a home in the near future because my network is mostly contained with other 20 year olds as well. I'll take any advice, I am 100% ready to start and very optimistic about the future!
