Hello everybody.
Thank you for coming to this week's video blog here at California Realty Training.
My name is Robert Rico and as usual I just so want to bring some great information to
you so that when your real estate career takes off, it takes off nice, it takes off running
and you enjoy your time with your new career.
Hey listen, this week we have a question from one of our subscribers to our blogs and he
asked a pretty interesting question.
He asked, "How can you transfer from your current situation of marriage say, or a marriage
with kids and get involved in a real estate career?"
That's pretty interesting.
He's saying, how can he as a married person with a wife and kids, get into a real estate
career?
That's a pretty darn good question because most people who get involved in real estate
as I was back in 1995, when I got my license, are married couples and you might have kids,
hell, you might not have kids but either way, transferring into a new career like real estate
can be challenging but it is so definitely possible.
Listen, this is the deal, first of all, I want you to be confident.
Changes are very difficult for everybody.
It really is.
Changes are so difficult for everybody.
Imagine, you're working your typical job that you've had for five years, 10 years, 15 years,
20 years, whatever it is, you've been working at your job for a long time and you love the
stability, you love the benefits, some people have jobs that have great health benefits,
you get holidays off.
It's great to have your regular job.
You really want to get into this new career of real estate but you're afraid to leap and
get into this new career.
You're afraid to leave the stability.
This is thing is protecting you, it's been there forever.
It's been there, it never let you down, this job has been there for good.
It provided with a salary, it provided you with everything you and your family and children
need.
Yet you want to dabble into this new career over here and possibly put 100% from this
position, this safety net, into this new career that can bring you a substantial amount of
money.
Much more than what you're making over in the safety net area.
Is it difficult to go from the safety net to something that's a big mystery over here?
Can be difficult.
It can be nerveracking, it can be risky but there's ways to do it that make it less risky,
less nerveracking.
Can be done.
In my opinion, what you should do is this, number one, don't quit this job, you gotta
make some money.
You gotta provide for your wife.
You gotta provide for your children.
You gotta provide for your family.
Don't leave this job.
Let it be.
What you can do is dabble over here just a little bit.
You could start off part time.
What does part time mean?
Part time means every now and then pick up a client.
Sometimes it's a good idea to start off with your S.O.I.
Your S.O.I.
will always give you, well typically they will give you a shot at your real estate career.
S.O.I.
meaning sphere of influence.
Typically your sphere of influence, people who know you, people who love you, people
who like you.
Your family, your friends will give you an opportunity.
When those opportunities come, take them.
Start off part time with these people.
Sphere of influence.
They know you, they know your ability, they know your work ethic, they know your everything
about you, they know so they're going to give you a shot.
That's how you're going to learn.
Start off learning slowly here in this area.
The houses sell for a tremendous amount of money which means your commissions are going
to be fantastic.
So once you close a deal and you make 20, 30, 40, 50,000 bucks on one deal and you have
a nice nest egg in the bank.
Now you can consider leaving this position over here.
Now you can consider leaving this position that's been here forever and ever and ever.
That you've maybe gotten tired of, that you maybe have said, "You know what?
Enough is enough.
I'm only doing this 'cause I have to."
Now might be the time with you having tons of money in the bank to say it's time for
me to make a change in life.
Sayonara, see later, no mas over here.
And completely acknowledge, not just acknowledge, focus, become goal oriented and just accept
this new career of real estate.
That's how it should be done.
Don't leave this position if you have a family or whether you're a college student who just
graduated, wants to dabble into this new real estate career, or whether you're a retired
person, anybody who wants to get into this new career and you have your regular position
over here, then of course, you'll be much more comfortable, much more confident, leaving
your past career, starting this new one.
Once you get into this new career, now the sky's the limit.
Now your motivation, now your purpose of doing this new career and making money, is going
to be for who?
That right.
For your family.
The question was, how do I start off my career over here?
How do my wife and I start off our career in the real estate field having kids?
This is the deal, you're going to need a lot of help, a lot of support from your extended
family so they can watch your kids, that all depends how old your kids are, if they can
watch themselves, they can watch themselves, but if not, you'll need some help, some babysitting
help from your family, from your extended family.
If you want to do it as a couple, a married couple, one of two things.
You get help from the support team, which is extended family or one of you can go out
to the appointments, one of you stays home and watches the kids and vice versa.
There's a lot of possibilities when you have two involved in your business.
That's how it happened with my wife and I.
We both got involved the same time, it worked out beautifully, we too had kids, we had three
small boys.
Luckily the oldest was old enough to babysit the other two so it worked out beautifully.
Where there's a will there way guys, there really is.
You'll figure it out if you're motivated.
If this is important enough to you, you can't let anybody stop you.
You can't let any situation stop you.
There's going to be people who are retired and want to do this just because they have
nothing else to do and this is exciting, do it, because you want to do it.
Some people are doing this because they're straight out of college and they didn't finish
college and they want to make money quickly.
This is the career for them.
This is a career for anybody who wants to shake things up, make money in a rather quick
time if they put forth the effort, get educated in this game.
It can definitely happen.
I completely get it.
It's very difficult to take that leap.
It's very difficult to say, "Wait a minute, this has been paying my bills and feeding
my family for so long.
How can I leave this?"
Let me inform you of something.
If you do the right things with the real estate career, it can give you two, three, four,
five times over what this is providing you.
It happened to me.
If you just play your cards right and just get yourself and give it all you can.
Give effort.
Education and effort.
Hope this helps you.
We hope to see you next week.
