What were some challenges you faced as a new agent?

As I press through my pre-licensing course I begin to think about the "unknown" as I pursue a career as an agent. For agents that have been in the game for a while, what are some challenges you faced as a new agent? When did you decide to commit to RE full time? What are some things you wish you could have done differently? What are some challenges I should prepare to face as a new agent? As excited as I am to begin this journey, I also have a few doubts that I am trying to overcome.

Any and all advice/commentary is welcomed.

Biggest Challenges- 

1. You don't know what you don't know. I've been licensed since 2010 and I still learn new things every day. 

2. Cash flow issues.
