After year one I saw light at the end of the tunnel!

Sounds hokey but, when I got my first referral from a past client. 

Day 1 Debbie Reynolds because with a wife and kids it was sink or swim.

I'll let you know!

When I received my first commission check and I was hooked.

It took about 2 years.... when I was ranked in the top 10 producing agents of a 300 agent company in NYC.

Debbie Reynolds There have been many times...when I have a great transaction, when I won a special award, when I was the Open House Master, when my book was published, when I became a Solo broker.. but there are other times that I feel ever so humble... like my weekly radio show. It really keeps me on my toes.

Have made it in many businesses, generally the most important step is deciding that it is worth the investment.

We make it every day in some way. There is always a win to be had. A

After my first year.. when I had  made what was then called the "Million Dollar Round Table."  Can't remember what the income criteria was.. but I did well my first year and every year thereafter!

  When I had my second or third closing.

In my early 20's , when I had 12 + closings a year 

The net income has always been an indicator for me.

"Made it in the business" - Never... I continue to learn and grow daily.

I had quite a bit of success early on but it was in my second year that I took a floor call from a developer that not only made my career but changed my life completely.

I found out all agents who started with me all dropped out. I guess I made the grade. This is 13th year FT. Alas!

The first closing in January 1990. 

Oh man, when I performed my the first gig where I made $1,000 for playing music and was rehired on the spot for the following year by the Stanford University Medical Center Christmas Party.

The first year I sold 14 homes in my second year.

When I made it past the 2 year mark they said we would drop out.  Then reconsidered in 2008 when there were very few sales.

Debbie Reynolds - frankly, as of today also, I do not feel that way... lol!

When I got back in in '15.  Didn't need to hustle, had built-in clients.

Really everytime I have a closing which equals a very happy client ~ it never gets boring.  :-)

I'm almost there....maybe by year 45....

When I started my own property management company, then a Real Estate company and finally a development company....I arrived full speed ahead

Day by Day. One day at a time. 

Good question. When you feel it inside your gut.

Day 1! 

Debbie Reynolds When I started to see a profitable business.

My first check:) One should know after two years if you are being profitable or not.

I still don't know.

During my first year.

When the white on the white board was consistently overshadowed by my list of pendings. 

When I could retire from full time activity.

After the first crash in the early 90's and I was still in the business when it started to go back up. 

Can’t remember.

When the first 6 months I had more savings than when I started.  There have been lean times, but I've always been prepared for them

I willl let you know when I get there
