What do you need?

The other day, someone asked me what I needed right now. Be honest it was out of the blue for this person to ask me that, but I told him simply, “a car.” Trust me, trying to do real estate and Design-29 is a real pain from a bus. Granted, we have one car but its availability is pretty limited now days.

Got me thinking, that I have to do something about this and do it now. So, I am looking for anyone out there that might be interested in making a few bucks renting me a car they don’t use much. Looking for something like a Ford Explorer, Nissan Murano, along those lines.

If you do, please email me and let me know the details, looking forward to talking to you.

Feeling a bit out of place

Guess it is bound to happen when you are getting into something you don’t know much about. But, let me tell ya … I feel like I am so out of my element with this whole thing at the moment.

Got laughed at because I was asked what am I doing to further my knowledge and I responded I was reading like four different books right now. Guess book reading is not the usual way these things are done in the wonderful world of real estate. One thing I keep asking is how do people get organized or what is “the” system to getting things done. Lot of people look at me like I am speaking Greek to them, or they feel they had to develop their own way through all this and that I need to do the same. Maybe that is it in a nut shell. Figure out what works for you and make it work. Be nice if someone would just tell you that, but then again I guess that is the game.

Spoke with my mom this morning about what she used to do. Not sure I have ever asked her how much she liked it but she did tell me somethings she use to do. Think I will try a couple of them out. I am guessing there is no real right or wrong way of doing things in all of this other then not breaking any law. Hard part for me is that I spent (wasted) so much time not allowing myself to get close to people and such that I am now having to do the reverse of it all. I am finding it easier to do lately, thankfully! Think this blog is starting to help me and I can see that. Not sure my writing skills have improved much, but I am opening myself up more and more. Which has to be a good thing.

Working hard at growing my photography as well. Found this awesome wide angle lens I want. Think it would really be an answer to some of the issues I have found in real estate photography. Not to mention a ton of other applications. You can get in so close with this lens and not miss anything. It is really amazing, but the sucker is $500. But man ole man, it is so sweet! Need it really, really bad! Expanding my marketing in the photography area too lately, putting out more ads and getting some business cards. Will also be sending out more email marketing as well. Think I will be doing cross over marketing too. Overall, I feel damn good today. Feel excited and more energy. Part of that has to do with my more focused attention to my meds and stuff. Been talking about going to the gym for months and today I am signing up for the yoga class and just start with this for the moment. Maybe it will lead to more things. Mom brought up a really good point this morning about getting more involved with the community. Got a couple ideas on all that, as well as Scott does too.

Guess I have babbled enough this morning and wishing everyone a great holiday season and please remember what is really important in your life. Family, and your friends! Love more then anything else you do everyday!

School. update

Well, I have finished the actual course and am now taking the “cram sessions.” Funny, wish I had just taken this part … LOL.

Will be taking the schools test this week, and then on to the state test. Overall, I am just not thinking about the tests, will deal with that when I get to it. But, I am excited to getting on with getting out there and getting to work. Yea, the market has taken a beating the last couple months, and this past week was really crazy. No matter what happens I feel better and better that in the long term I am doing the right thing.

Now, as for all this federal bailout talk, I will just keep my mouth shut for right now. Pretty sure I am not for this plan, but I need to research it more.

Moving!!

Been thinking about this for sometime actually. Going to be moving this blog to a new home. Main reason is blogger is really weird and I am tired of messing with all their issues, rules, and general bullshit. Want a place I can be me and blogger seems to be over taken by the RNC in how it acts.

Think the new home will be awesome and not to mention a bit more traffic. Will be asking a lot of questions in the near future. Just to see what others think.

One thing that has changed in my life is I am pursuing a career in real estate. Yea, I know that right now seems like a weird time to make such a choice. But, I feel for me right now makes total sense and I know I am going to be awesome at this and am so looking forward to it.

Lot of things have been happening lately and I am going to work on posting about all that. This is becoming my main blog. At least about me personally so you should be seeing more postings and such very soon. So make sure you get the RSS feed off the new blog home so you can ride along with me. As always, please feel free to leave comments, love getting them.

Real Estate?

What in the hell am I thinking? Yes, I am going for my real estate license. This has popped up in my life a couple times and I never did anything with it. Why? Guess I never thought I really could do this. Mainly the fear of not succeeding (which seems to be a common theme in my life) really kept me away from it. This has plagued me on many many things in my life actually.

Yet, for some reason lately I feel so much better about myself. I have let so many things go that I really feel have held me back for so damn long. Scary, but I for the first time in my life now see that my life is just that, MINE. Always seen myself as less then everyone else. Which has held me back on everything. Like finances, going for what I want. Always so things as that is what others have. Like I didn’t deserve those things. Now I see them and want them! I am no longer going to sit back and just take things. I am getting in the game and I am not getting in just to be in the pool, I want the gold damnit and I am gonna get it!
