Passion or Addiction to Real Estate?

Greg P.

Hello, I think like most of us we are trying to make a living and maybe a few of us would like to be very successful. The issue I am having is that I can't tell if I have a passion or just a addiction to this business. I'm constantly thinking about Real Estate and the "next" deal. It's a constant grind, and I can probably say if I go at this pace, I will look like 60 at age 40. I've been in this business on and off for 7 years and I can say that the only time I really enjoy it is when I get a paycheck. Other than that, it's a constant grind. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you.

If you don't love it you should get into business doing something you do love. Grinding your way through is not really a good way to live life.
