I think that many of us Realtors do not realize the numerous skills we develop over 5 to 10 or more years in the business. We become so accustomed to networking and relating that we cannot see the vast range of ability we have created.
I want to recommend something specific: consider adding onto your current efforts an easy-to-manage product or service that will help you to generate additional income. Instead of abandoning real estate altogether or getting a traditional job that will take away from your current marketing and networking efforts, add on a complimentary task.
Recently, I began researching home-based nutritional companies. As you can imagine, there are many. Some have better products than others. I googled and read and tried to find the critical articles. I settled on two corporations that had real promise. I made several calls to local medical professionals and even a Dartmouth University researcher.
These two companies are Waiora and Isagenix. You see, I have been in the sports / workout world for 25 years now. I played high school sports, lifted weights, studied martial arts and more. I have been learning about supplements and nutritional aides that entire time. Waiora and Isagenix offer unique, effective products that I can introduce easily into almost any conversation.
Waiora has a vital chocolate product that is filled with anti-oxidants and NCD, a natural zeolite.
If you would like to learn more, check out www.rediscoveryourlife.com/healthy or http://www.isagenix.com/us/en/home.dhtml . Both of these sites offer helpful information.
If you would like some free samples, just email me at richard@richardbarbee.com . I think you will find that you can create a small or big business AS you do your current work.
Thanks for reading.

Richard, I clicked on your post thinking I'd read about something that might be useful in my career. I had no idea I'd be presented with an option in case I was thinking of leaving it. LOL I'm very happy with my career, but best of luck with your new endeavors.
I am sorry Maggie. I think you misinterpreted my post. It was an idea for an addition to your current work, as I do.
