Being a real estate agent is like....

...a sixteen year old, sexually frustrated boy.

Let me explain.

As my five readers know, I have decided to get into real estate. I've been doing this for about 3 whole months. Now I know that I have unrealistic expectations for myself. For example, I feel that I should have already closed my 56 deals and made my first million dollars. Has that happened? No. What I have learned is that this whole thing has been a humbling process of hard work and mega amounts of rejections. 

As I was going through my many moods of success and failure, I spoke to my mentor and expressed...mostly in tears...my frustration and anger. She smiled, told me to take a deep breath and explained to me that most people don't have their first closing for 8 months or so. I was shocked and appalled. 8 months!!!! It's a good thing that I'm not the only one in the family working. 

What she said next lead me to my conclusion. She said that the feeling I would get at my first closing would be so euphoric that I would be hooked. I would want to do it again and again. Gee that sounds to me a lot like sex. Hence, yes is did say hence, the conclusion that being a beginner real estate agent is like being a sexually frustrated sixteen year old boy. I want to feel the euphoric feeling but I just can't get not satisfaction (thank you Rolling Stones).

So on ward and forward I go into the great big world of real estate. I will work my fanny off and put in the time required to make this business work. I've added a picture below since this is really how things are perceived. 


Until next time...

16 days later...

Well, it's been sixteen days since my last post and well I can honestly say that I am totally disappointed. I thought that I would see some sort of growth but I haven't. What's worse is that my nails are so thin and weak that I had to actually cut some of my nails because they tore. Not because they grew. They were weak to begin with but at least they feel a little better. I mean I can now take a shower and the hot water doesn't hurt my fingernails. I am also a bit perplexed at the my second to the last finger. If you look close you can see the part of the nail that had solar on it and the amount of growth but my nail never got longer and this is not one of the one's that I had to trim. Things that make you go hummmm.  So here are my nails. I have been using the Nail-Aid Keratin for 16 days. It says 3 days growth but in three days I saw no growth. I have been receiving e-mails and comments suggesting that I use the O.P.I. Nail Strengthening but I refuse. ...

Change of the guard, nail style

I have had the flu for the past week which offered me the opportunity to spend time with my nails. Turn a negative into a positive, right? Well, after my last post I thought about the products that I was using to try to get my nails to grow.  My Pinterest account  Jennipher Dallas  has been getting a lot of "likes" and repins. My board 'Nails I wish I had'   has especially been getting a lot of attention. One picture in particular has had over 300 likes/repins since my last blog. The picture is of the OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener. I did look up OPI and although they do not do animal testing but there is formaldehyde in it.  When you're sick you think about how you got sick and what you need to do to get better. So this got me thinking about the stuff in the products that I use. Formaldehyde has been linked with Cancer . Now, I'm not going to go into to all that stuff and preach about it. Everyone has to make their own decisions. But I decided t...

Dilemma-ethical-uh?

If you google the word dilemma it comes up with the following definition: "A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones." Then goes on to give synonyms like quandary, predicament and vicious circle.  *Sigh* Well, wonders never cease in my world and for the sake of my sanity I hope my five whole readers understand what I am about to spill. Everyone has someone in their family that does not sit right with them (I'm trying to be ambiguous here for a reason). I am no different. I have no real family anymore. Since my father died almost two months ago, I have NO family anymore. Sure, I have a sibling, who is a complete and utter moron. This person is a run away from responsibility, self-centered individual who I have tried to help throughout the years. The other person is a selfish, self-centered, manipulative, gas bag who thinks the world revolves around them and goes out the ...
