Field day


Day 1762 - a fun field day. Very informative and important. We have two days to go out and learn how the real estate market works. To talk to sellers and understand their psychology and try to draw conclusions about our future work. I sure learned a lot.
I am thankful for a day of activity and creativity. I am thankful to my partner for playing his part in this game. I am thankful fof all what I learned today. I'm sure it will bring me a lot of good.

No hike today

Day 1761- I was planning on some hiking this weekend but it didn't transpire; a bit disappointing but in hindsight it gave me an opportunity to rest, something I sure needed after a very intense week and another one is ahead of me with even longer hours. So it was my plan against a higher one and as always, it wins. So a luxurious breakfast that was so goodI want hungry until the evening. Watching some exciting videos and just relaxing. I still miss the hike but can accept that it's not always a good idea to run with no stopping. It's justthat all week I am indoors and not moving much and the weekend is my only chance to do that. Well, maybe next weekend.

A day off

Day 1760 - no class today. A day off to be in the store, be home in a normal hour, spend some time with my partner, eat well and even have time for a movie night. A much needed and appreciated quality time.

End of my first week

Day 1759 - we finished the first week of the course. Very intense, very interesting and challenging. I am all pumped up and ready or some ground work next week. It will not be easy but I believe it can be done and, as always, practice makes perfect. I am ready for practice, and hopefully get good at it.

Getting our feet wet

Day 1758 - a long day but a very i.teresting one. Learning a lot of new and important things. We had homework to take some documents and undetstand what's going on there and get as much information as possible from it. I found it interesting and challenging and a very important piece of information. I got the same kind of documents when I bought my home and had no.idea how to read them. Now i can.
I am very thankful for all I learn.

The Eternal Student

Day 1756 - I started the new class today. Real estate advanced. I look back at my history in th past few years and i find it disturbing. First it was mt Tour guides class. Then I took 3 numerology classes. I sure enjoyed each one of them but did nothing with it. To my defense, i did not plan on closing the store so it kind of derailed my plans about using numetology in my business. Going back into real estate was something i chose because I like real estate and i dont know
What else i can do now that my store adventure is out.
So i took the test but i really dont know whats going on here and I have to lesrn it and fast. So here we go, another class in a completely different field with the hope that I will find my way here and wont have to keep wondering. I love learning and all but I also want to start working and even more important making money.
But that being said, i enjoyed the class todsy and i hope this will be the case every day. It's an intense month, 5 days a week from 9 am to 8 pm most days.

I am thankful it opens new opportunities for me and i hope to be good enough to take them.

Day 1755 -

Friday, November 6, 2015

Day 1753 - I'm visiting my mom for the weekend with my son. On my way I visited my daughter for  a couple of hours and enjoyed spending time with her on her home turf; it's exciting to see how my little girl is a grown up woman that keeps a beautiful home, and keeping a household routine while also working and studying. And to top it all having long term plans for her future. Not dreams but actual plans. It's nice to see that level headness and the strategic planning. And did I mention their cute dog? Last I saw him he was still a puppy and now he's a real dog and a very cute one at that.

Day 1752 - few months ago I saw a movie of a weekend of interviews with Wayne Dyer. It was the first time I heard him and it was very moving and impressive. Sadly he passed on shortly after but his many teachings are here with us. His website still running and today I signed up for the newsletter and got an audio file of "101 ways to trasporm your life". I am avery greatful for this very special gift; i am at number 25 and will continue till the last one. A lot to learn from the wisdom of others; especially such a teacher

Day 1751 - I am reading the book the success principals and realized that five years after I promised myself to make and keep a budget I still didn't do it. So starting tonight I'm doing the research and jotting everything down. I know why I didn't do it, because I know it's not pretty but the fact that I ignore it doesn't really make any difference to the outcome. So that has to change.

Day 1750 - few more business meetings. Starting to lay the foundations for the new start-up.

Day 1749 - after the big rush to the finish line, the day after is a bit of a lull. Not much to report. Few phone calls to set appointments for the days to come but overall an anti-climax. But that ok with me. I needed that after an intense month. So now the waiting game is on but I can start taking my first steps in learning the ropes and establishing contacts. all so I can get as ready as possible to the day I'll get my lisence and will be are to hit the ground running.

The different angles of being stupid

Day 1748 - I took the test today and from the unofficial results it looks like I passed it. This was also how I felt when I finished it. So stage one and I have to admit, the easiest one, is done. Now the waiting game starts. I have to get the official results and only then apply to get my lisence. Each stage takes about a month so hopefully by the end of the year or the very beginning of next year I'll have it and only then the real game begins. To find houses to sell and clients that want to buy. Not sure yet how to start this process but this is what I'm going to do in the next two months. Learn the market, see houses and start recruiting customers, all while working diligently at the closing of the store, getting rid of inventory. I'm not complaining, on the contrary, I'm actually very happy I found this new venue that hopefully will get me out of this rut I'm stucked-in right now. And one thing for sure will be better, I'll be able to be outside more and not in a tiny store all day long. I need the freedom to move around and right now also the possibility of doing bigger things. Big plans, hope it will transpire even better than that. I am so thankful I can dream big and go after my dreams, I know it's a previledge and I'm so thankful I can do that. I am thankful I was born this way or changed to be that way, fearless or care free or stupid, depends whom you ask; or maybe just driven enough to not let failure discourage me and instead push me forward.
