Hi There!
Its me again. So I wanted to give you an update of how my life has been. I was let go in June of 2025 because the company itself was shutting plant. I had a wonderful manager who let me know well in advance that this was going to happen. And I had an inclination that something along those lines would have happened. Let me explain. My contract was supposed to end in March of this year but It got extended for a whole two years. And when the contract was extended my Manager had mentioned that there is no certainty to it because of how the company structure was being disassembled. And I was totally aware of it.
The three extra months helped me stay afloat longer So that I was a little bit prepared. I was also let go in March of 2023. At that point I was hurt from being let go but I was suffering with Childcare before that so that break helped me but also tested me. That was the year I also travelled to Florida with my family while I was collecting unemployment checks. it was a first for me. Because it had become engrained in me that I could not enjoy if I was not working. I don’t know how it got engrained in me, but it was there. It helped me understand slow life. The job that landed in my lap after that was the best so far, a renowned company Pfizer, a remote job. If I would have asked for God I might have gotten it.
This job was a fixed contract, so I knew it was meant to end not like the other one where I was let go unceremoniously. It’s been over a month already into my unemployment now that I look at it. So I have now less than five months left into my unemployment. And my goals are getting clearer. I have to choose one option and stick to it like my life depends on it. For the next four months I am choosing to choose Real Estate and see it If I can make it or not. I think I can do it its just a matter of setting up systems and models. These would include Buyer presentations, Seller Presentations, staying up to date with the market and facing my fear of making phone calls. I attended an amazing seminar by Gary Keller that mentioned the following There are those who try to wing it and it doesn’t work out for them because it is not systematic. I have been that person I believe. Up Until this point.
But over the course of the past few days I have been having so many premonitions and visions that I believe this is possible. That I can truly make a difference Like i want to with Real Estate.
So, what Have I don’t in Real Estate so far? You ask.
I got licensed in February 2025. I went and attended a FSBO meet in March 2025. I learned the basics of wholesaling but have not practiced it yet because I don’t think I understand it completely yet. I finally understood what everyone has been telling me about building relationships had it like a epiphany. And while in my head I am performing on the outside, I have avoided calling for the past two days. Not good right. I will change it first thing tomorrow. I am going to set up systems now on when to call, whom to call, how many follow ups to do and all that fun.
I also attended Open houses and hosted my first this past weekend. And I am hosting my second this upcoming weekend. My goal at present is to get to one to two clients before the end of the year and then If I can get to 15 to 20 listings or help that many clients I can have a sustainable business. I have been a good Math person so if I stick to the Math I should be able to make this work. I have decided to give myself a years’ worth of time. So, If I am able to get what I envision by the year end it should be fine. If not, I will have to learn to pivot but never give up.
I don’t have to sell anything I just have to help.
