80 percent of all real estate agents when they get their license are going to flunk out flush out fail out within 24 months so the answer is odds are you should not become a realtor unless you can pass the five question quiz that i'm about to get you that i'm about to give you about whether or not becoming a real estate agent is right for you now having said that i want to tell you this that becoming a real estate agent i think being a real estate agent is one of the greatest career paths on

the planet if you have what it takes so in this video i'm going to lay out for you why you should not become a realtor and whether or not you should actually become a real estate agent so why should i not become a real estate agent five things number one do not become a realtor if you are lazy if you're lazy don't do it don't become a real if you're looking for easy money if you're thinking that becoming a real estate agent man because i like houses and i know a lot of people or i

have a background in marketing or i'm great at sales i'm a natural sales person and you think you're going to get your real estate license and you're going to come in and make a lot of money fast and it's going to be easy money you are mistaken if you're looking for easy money and you think you can be lazy and succeed in real estate it is not going to happen number two do not become a realtor if you are impatient if you can't wait if you think i need to start today and get paid in

a week and then i want to get paid every week after that real estate is not the path for you okay if you're desperate for a paycheck and going like man i'll get my real estate license i got to get i got to get paid fast real estate is not the place that is going to happen a lot of real estate agents come in and they go months without their first paycheck and then it can be inconsistent for a while even if you're good even if you get the right training even if you do the

right stuff it can still take a while and if you are impatient or you're desperate for a paycheck real estate is probably not the path for you to take as a realtor right now you just have to know that going in so number three do not become a realtor if you are a d i y er what is that a do-it-yourselfer and what i mean by that is if you think that you get your licensing or like don't talk to me i got this i i got a background in marketing i got a background in

construction i got a background and whatever and you think that you're going to come in and figure it out on your own good luck with that now i'm not saying you can't do that but i'm going to tell you that you're going to spend a lot of time on your back and a lot of time on your flat on your face if you want to succeed in real estate being a do-it-yourselfer is not the best way to do it and most real estate agents they come in and they come in cocky and they think i

got this because i got some special background or i got some special insider knowledge or inside track or whatever most of them are in for a painful discovery that it is not what they thought and they are not as good as they thought they were if you can't take coaching if you can't take training from a mentor from somebody who's already been there and done that it is going to be a long painful journey for you i've seen it happen over and over again don't become a realtor if you're a do-it-yourselfer and you're not willing

to take coaching and training number four do not become a realtor if you are a quitter if you are someone who gives up easily if you are one of those tryers i'm going to try it out i'm going to try it i'm going to give it a shot i'm going to see how it goes if you're with somebody that comes in and just comes in with reservations and says well i'm just going to kind of wade into it and just kind of see if it works for me you're going to get too many bloody noses

too many black eyes too many disappointments to make it okay real estate is for people who can come in and have an adult commitment and commit to a course of action it says i will not be denied i will not be defeated i will not fail and i will not quit if you give up easily and you get discouraged easily i am dead serious real estate being a real estate agent is probably not for you if you don't have some emotional toughness emotional stamina and mental toughness you probably should take a traditional career path and

and get a boss and that leads to number five why you should not become a realtor is do not become a realtor if you are not driven if you don't have personal initiative if you can't get yourself going if you don't know how to kick your own butt real estate is probably not the path for you if you need someone else to kick you in the butt to get you in gear to get you mo i just need somebody to hold me accountable i just need somebody to motivate me if that's you what you need

is not a business you need a boss okay bosses are designed for employees who need somebody to kick them in the butt and tell them what to do and make them go do it but in real estate you are a business owner you're an entrepreneur you own the business and pass and fail or succeed is up to you and if you don't have enough drive and you don't have enough dr of a dream to get yourself going and keep yourself going through the tough times through the times when you want to get impatient and be

patient and push and keep going and not give up if you're not willing to push through all that and you don't have the self personal starting power to keep you going the tenacity the grit the drive the perseverance to stick to it get another job my friend go get a real job get it there's no there's no shame in that there's no failure in that but real estate is probably not for you okay now should i become a real estate agent yes if if you are willing to work hard if you are willing to be

patient and know it's going to take time to get yourself going and make money now you can make a lot of money you can make six figures in your first 12 months i've coached agents to make 200 300 and one nearly 400 000 in their rookie year you can make a lot of money but you got to go in and come in with patience so if you are patient if you are willing to take coaching and mentorship and training if you are willing to push through the disappointments push through the failure push through those moments

where you feel discouraged and not sure what to do next if you're willing to push through that and have the commitment and the drive to win no matter what then real estate might be for you and if you are willing to push yourself and you got a dream and you got to drive and you got to hunger that nobody needs to push you you show up and you say what do i do next and you're the one that goes out and makes things happen there is not a better career path on the planet and people

ask well what about right now is now a good time to get in real estate and the answer is absolutely yes there are going to be such amazing opportunities out there they're out there right now and those opportunities are only going to get bigger with all the craziness and the chaos that is happening in our country right now and our world and what's going to continue to happen in the housing market there are going to be massive opportunities for a real estate agent who knows what to do and is willing to do it and not
