My husband Larry and I currently own a small business. Larry has always been in sales and has an amazing work ethic. He works hard and complains very little. In my past life, I was a preschool teacher. I love children so it was very natural for me to take on that role. My education is all based on Early Childhood Education. Last summer Larry decided to renew his real estate license so he could sell real estate part time. I signed on as his Adman, in other words, his assistant. I'm incredibly self conscious so I was happy to take on a behind the scenes role. I couldn't imagine myself selling real estate, who would want to buy a house from someone like me? Well, along the way, I discovered that I really love real estate. I enrolled in a real estate licensing class on Feb. 11th and took the test on March 26th. I was surprised that I actually passed the test because it was incredibly difficult.
I would never have had the courage to take this chance in the past. People are so judgemental and I've become accustomed to either being ignored or treated like I was worthless. I know that I deserve so much better than that. I've come to the conclusion that if someone has a problem with me, it's their problem, not mine!
Yesterday I signed my first buyer's contract!!! It has given me such a sense of accomplishment and confidence. I know my new career holds challenges and I don't expect it to be easy but I'm so proud of myself for having the strength and courage to step outside of my comfort zone to take a chance. This is just the beginning!
