Hey Bigger Pockets community!

When cycle gets tougher then those marginal agents sales dry up and they go back to that j-o-b especially since they did not save and spent all their money on trips, bigger houses, nicer cars,etc.Good LuckI hope you are one of the few that make it long term. 14 years in the business and still having record sales year after year.The best nugget of info I can give is constantly out learn your competition.
