CELEBRATING MY FIRST YEAR WITH NETWORTH!

A little bit about my first year:
I celebrated my first year in real estate with NetWorth on August 22! This first year has taught me so much. Getting into real estate I knew the statistics, almost every agent fails their first year and I was determined that was not going to be me. I started working my a** off and sold my first property in a month and a half. Two weeks after I got into a terrible car accident. I had to take time off work to give my body time to heal and find another vehicle. Finally, after what felt like forever I was back in the office (on crutches) trying to get back on schedule. For the remainder of the year, I was playing catch-up on the time I missed while being out. January hit and I sold my second property. February I sold my third. In March I sold two properties back to back. I was on top of the world, my hard work was finally paying off! Then title issues started to rise and then a squatter moved into one of the properties four days before close. Needless to say neither of these deals closed. I was absolutely devastated. Wondering what I could have done to prevent these issues. Questioning myself if this was actually the field I was meant to be in. April came around and I sold another property, which helped me get back up on my feet again however, I was still lost. I would come into the office so unmotivated worried that I would never be successful. I spent alot of time in my head which started to negatively influence my business. In June I went on a 16 day trip to Europe with my family and it was all the medicine I needed.

When I came back I promised myself I was going to stay consistent. I was going to stay motivated. I was going to be successful. Since coming back I have been producing the most meetings in the office. Working to get another property sold and I have been close. Its just a matter of time.

Moral of this story is to let everyone know REAL ESTATE IS HARD. There will be times you will be challenged more than you ever have. You will be stressed out 25/8 and it is not easy at all. But it will always be worth it. I am looking forward to year two and seeing what will come!
