First outing

Day 1775 - first meeting with a seller, not as my show but accompaning an agent.  Interesting, but I'll do things differently. I can't wait to start.

Another step forward

Day 1774 - a very inspiring presentation gave me some new ways to look at the issues at hand and few more tools to handle rejection and resistance. With every passing day i feel more ready for my new role as a successful real estate agent. We practice d our phone skills snd i managed to schedule an appointment for tomorrow, I will accompany one of the agents in our office, but these ate my first real experience s and imr very excited, it actually works...

A lovely hike

Day 1773 - a beautiful day, sunny and warm, a beautiful hike amid early winter flowers. We hiked this place in the middle of the summer and it was a whole different story. Now with a pleasant weather and the greenary around it was just amazing. Add to that the lower temperatures and the lovely companions and you have a wonderful day indeed. I am so very happy ir decided to join them for today's hike.

A stormy friday

Day 1772 - in the wake of a very stormy evening I decided to join my hiking group of three years ago for a saturday hike. I miss my friends and the fun of a group hiking. Three years is a very long time indeed. I'll never do something like that again. There's just no reason for this isolation. So i better go to sleep. A long day ahead of me and a short night.

A day off

Day 1771 - an unexpected event changed our schedule and we had a day off today. So after two weeks I spent a day in the store. I was happy to be there but saddened by the very low traffic  but I remind myself that this is why we are closing the store...

1940 days are a very long time indeed

Day 1770 - when I decided to write my blog I wanted to find 1000 reasons to be thankful or more accurately, to say my thanks for 1000 days. With the release of Gilad Shalit from his Hammas capture after 1940 days I decided as a salute to this young man and his strength to continue my blog for 940 more days. I am on day 1770 and it'slong, very long time and I am stil almost 200 days awaay from the target and I know where the end goal is while he didn't and he managed to keep his sanity with no end in sight that can beacon to him from afar. With every passing day I am filled with more admiration to this young man. I am thankful  for this mission I took that teaches me such an important lesson in patience and resilience.

Exceeding expectations

Day 1769 - another interesting day in my class. With every passing day I feel more ready and equippted to face real costomers. i know it won't be easy but I'm eager to try. This class is far beyond what i expected and I am so thankful I decided to join it.

Getting our feet wet

Day 1768 - another field day. This time we join agents for real time work. Much fun. With every passing day we are getting closer to our target. I dont feel I'm ready to face the music yet, but that day is coming fast. Two more weeks of training and we are there. So we got our feet wet, and our appetite is growing all part of the process, to hit tge ground running.

The chages in life

Day 1767 - it was a wonderful visit and i enjoyed it very much. We spend the day here not going anywhere just talking and eating of course. It suddenly donned on me that things are changing in an interesting way. Before it was a visit of my daughter, and pretty much the same as it was for many years. But now she is all grown up and she came with her partner and it's a serious relationship so it feels more like a family visit, like the way I visit my mom. Funny. The world is round and this young generation is taking tbeir place in the areana, as our's is moving closer to tge edges and my mon's generation is leaving or getting ready to leave the stage all together. Time never stops in it's tracks.

I am thankful for a wonderful visit. I am thankful for the oppotunity to spend time with my daughter and her BF.

A visit

Day 1766 -my daughter and her boyfriend are here for the weekend, something they haven't done in a very ling time so I'm very happy about that. I came home from work and cooked dinner for us. I haven't done that in a long time either since my partner cooks most of the time.

Anniversary

Day 1765 - we celebrate our third anniversary today. Time flies.

Patience is a virtue

Day 1764 - back to class after two days in the trenches. The funny thibg is that I am so pumped up I want to go out and try it fir real. I know a lot is still to come and patience is what is needed right now, but its pulling me in so much...
Not to worry, i can and will wait, I have the patience and the self diciplin, so it's a good time to practice that.

field work, day 2

Day 1763 - today was the second part of our field work. We had to meet with realtors and study their work. What did they do right and where did they go wrong. We had to evaluate so we can do a better job. It was very interesting and i sure learned a lot. I hope I will be able to apply it all and to avoid the pitfalls.
I am thankful for a very interesting and impkrtant day. I am thsnkful for this little break in our studys routine.

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.

Week 2 of training

Day 1761 - we started week two with a very interesting and important day. Its interesting to see how slowly all the pieces are falling into place and with evrry day i am a little more prepared for the work ahead of me. I know it wontt be easy but i.hope that illr be able to use the thi.gs i am learning now and will be able to use it to build my business. For sure it all makes sense in the classroom, i hope it ill do the same in.real life. Regardless, i am thankful for this vrry important and very informative class. I took several classes in the same field and non was on the same level.
I am very thankful fof the opportuniu I get here, I sure kniw to.appreciate it.
