The (re)birth of a Jazzá

I know, I know… I got you all invested and then just disappeared from the face of the Earth.  For that, I apologize.  I have been learning so much about myself and my worth over these past few months.  I wanted to take a moment and fill you in on what has been going on in #mylifeinrealestate.

As a new agent, I spent many hours in classes and forums and meetings and conventions and rallies and, well I could go on and on.  In the midst of it all, I made a very important realization.

I can’t be of service to my community if I only surround myself with other real estate professionals.

Duh, right?  It took a year for me to realize this.  I love my colleagues and I learn so much from them- but they probably won’t be (personally) needing my services.  All of the work I have done honing down these particularly specialized skills may go to waste if I don’t get out there and use them in real life.

Once I did, I learned- I am damned good at what I do.

I have also acknowledged that it is okay to have pride in your accomplishments.  So much of me is put into every transaction that I should revel in the accolades and gratitude shown to me because I have worked hard for them. I used to look in the mirror every morning and repeat positive affirmations about myself, many times in vain, but this much is true- I have the ability to level up in this career.  And, I intend to do just that.

One more thing I’ve gained… You become what you believe.

I still believe in being a kind and transparent person.  I believe that good things happen to good people.  I believe that I have a purpose on Earth.  I believe in friendships, love, honesty, integrity, hope, and joy.  I believe in me.

Welcome to the world, Jazzá
