I have asked myself for 5 years why did I stay in Real Estate. I can make more money in Real Estate than any other job I could get as an employee. Second I run my own businees which is cool. Last I am really good as what I do and I mentor other agents to do the same. When you say your going to do something you do it. Your word is everything.

Because I'm good in what I do. I thought, that I'm in it for temporarily, but it is not the case anymore. And yes, raising kids is a great motivator.
