Finding My Value
I just posted this to the forums in general, but there was a little more I wanted to say (not quite as publicly).
Most know that about 2 years ago I started selling real estate for much the same reason that I created this site (in the format that it exists now) to help people. It wasn't about the money by any means. The first year it went pretty well. I had a good year by really any standards for a first year salesperson, especially considering all that I had going on (continuing to run the board, driving back and forth every other week to develop a new relationship, spending half the year sick). The second year started off rocky and continued that way. Every sale was a PAIN IN THE ASS, with little Thanks to show for it. It still wasn't about the money but at the same time when you get to the end of the year and realize you paid to close 80% of your deals for the year, not to mention gas and time spent.... then add to that that where real estate was supposed to be an "extra" it was taking up my whole life not leaving any time for the things I really enjoyed (like this site), and the site was flailing because of it. I didn't have the time I needed to be investing here.
Finally, at the start of this year I decided I was going to slow down at the least and try to re-prioritize. SO I've been spending more time on the site, doing what needs to be done and trying to make it better in any way that I can. Something I haven't spent enough time doing in a long time.
In the last couple of months I have gotten some really nice messages from people here just Thanking me for the site. Those messages have made me feel wonderful. In the last two months I have felt more appreciated than I felt in the last 2 years trying to help people through one of their largest purchases.
Thank You.
