What does the title of this blog really mean? For every person out there it can represent a
different set of ideas depending on what your current situation is. Deciding what is important to you,
prioritizing this endeavor, adding it into your schedule and following the
plan. Whew! That’s a lot for anyone like me with what I
am sure is Adult onset ADD…I fly from one thing to the next and I want to be perfect
with each new task.
When I was young I participated in gymnastics, ballet, tap,
piano, flute, Brownies (young Girl Scouts), Pathfinders, modeling and I feel
sure I am leaving something out. I do
not do a single one of those things now, nor did I do them for any great length
of time. I received a degree in Theater
but do not act anymore…I also earned my degree in nursing and became an RN, yet
I no longer practice that either.
The absolute one thing in my life that I have done the
longest (other than being a daughter, sister, wife and mother—in that order) is
sell real estate. I absolutely love
it! I left my job as a full time RN at
Spartanburg Regional Hospital System to start selling real estate in 2002 and I
have never looked back. It has not been
an easy road and with the market roller coaster that we have been on for the
last several years, it has become even tougher.
This career in real estate has afforded me with so many
things that I am thankful for. While I
do have to work evenings and weekends on occasion, those times are less and
less now as I am better at managing my time.
I always put my family activities in my schedule first and for that I am
so grateful. I enjoy the challenge of
figuring out each of my client’s needs, which sometimes they are even unaware
of. I truly get the sense that I am
appreciated and that warms my heart.
I have taken this real estate career to the next level and I
am so comfortable now with what I do. Things
are always bound to change though. People
change, the industry changes and most noticeable lately are the technology
changes happening in my great real estate industry. I am determined to take
this platform to the next level. I am
engaged on so many levels right now and I am starting to figure out which is
the right path for me. How I choose to
bring my real estate business to the next level is to go back to what has
worked best for me in the past.
Relationships are what I have the most pleasure building,
not deals and that is where I am going to focus my energy. To all of my past clients, I hope you know
how appreciative I am that you will always be a part of my sphere of
influence. And finally, to all the
clients I have not had the pleasure of meeting yet, I am so excited to see where
we can go as our paths take the same road together for a while. I look forward to the many miles I have left
to travel with you all.
