Well you know the old saying that you should listen to your parents, because they are smarter than you and have been there before? Well I have learned that sometimes its true!

Anyway I thought that I could go to school full time (5 classes), sell real estate full time, and to fund the RE until it paid for itself by working another job part time. Surprisingly that created some problems, namely lack of time to study or do important things like make sales calls and do open houses. Also a little burn out and in general doing everything poorly. Throw in a slower market which slowed sales and forced me to keep that job much longer than I thought I would, which killed me.

I have learned that I am not superman, and cannot work crazy hours for months on end. So my dad was correct, he wanted me to wait until I was out of school. So I tried to do everything, spread myself to thin, and screwed it all up. Luckly my grades are still good.

So its time for a change, and school is the first priority. I can't do jack until I am done with it. I can sell RE in the summer and build up a good head of steam, but as soon as summer ends I fall flat on my face.

I'm out of RE sales for a year. In the spring of 09 when I get out of school I will go back in, full time 50-60 hours a week, what that business needs and demands.

I am also going to quit my part time job which I deeply hate and always puts me in a foul mood. In the mean time my uncle has a ton of landscaping work I can do and he pays REALLY well, so I guess I will get in shape for summer which will help with the ladies. Now I need to get a new job, something that will work with school and pay me well enough to survive until its over. A reasonable job like I gave up when I quit the marina.

As an unexpected bonus this move will make it far simpler to steal building lots. Being an agent and trying to get stuff way below market value can cause problems. Looking at 4 more this week. Now I can just be a small local builder, "oh the market really sucks, I can't give you anything more than $50k for this lot the market is really bad" I should have kept the Jetta, perfect car for this.

The moral is, listen to your parents, once in awhile they know something!
