Why I love being a real estate consultant

Today I spent the day with 400 other By Referral Only consultants at the Main Event in San Francisco, California.

This is my third Main Event - and it's 100% new material than anything before. And it's awesome.

We started at 8 a.m. with this simple assignment.... Write down 100 things you love about your work. At first the task seemed a little overwhelming....until I "got in my place" where I could really feel gratitude and joy for the life I have and the work I do.

You'll see some interesting information here as I post some updates related to what I'm up to as I remodel my business and my life. There's always that little voice that says "don't tell anyone what you're up to"....and there's that teacher, that coach, that leader voice that says "tell the world what you're up to - people want to know, people deserve to know"....

So here we go... 100 reasons I love what I do...
