Things changed since Jan 7th I am no longer a car salesman, the end of an era, for some reason it still sticks to my identity that I am a car salesman. I guess it is because I have been doing this for so long. Its the longest career i've had. I've been doing this for two years. holy shit that is a very long time. Not really a long time, two years is a few grains of sand. Best month = $12.3k Worst month = $5k Total cars sold = 384 I was previously a dish washer at Panda Express (24k/yr), then I became an assistant manager at Rite Aid (50k/yr) then I worked for Subaru in Napa (80k/yr) then I worked for Honda in Vallejo (110k/yr) now I am working for a real estate team in SoCal and the goal here is to crack $300k/yr. this is the most difficult mountain I have attempted climbing and will likely cost me a lot of effort. I am currently experiencing a hyper learning phase given how many talented people are in this team and how they just shortcut all of the time drains and mistakes I would have made on my own. It is insane to see how much faster a human travels with the help of other more experienced humans. Mentally it still feels like I am a car salesman despite resigning from Norm Reeves Honda Superstore in cerritos on the 7th of January. I resigned the same day, which is a decision I may regret. The current objective is to just close the first deal. do the volume required to close the first deal. By the way the reason I was able to pivot into real estate (an entire 12 months early is because the tesla crash settlement finally ended and net net I was left with $18.1k. This at my current burn rate of $2.6k/mo leaves me with 6 months and some change of money I can burn before I am holding out a sign on the street that reads "anything helps". Truthfully I am afraid that my peers are whizzing past me, any of my peers that have chosen to pursue private equity in their first years are destroying me in output right now. the issue is they are capped at 1-3m after 10-15 years. That cap is too low for me. Currently being part of the team is an asymmetric trade. I am on the better end of the deal. The most insane advantage I have stumbled into is working for a world class team. You will either rise to the occasion or be spit out. It is not even fair. If you can identity your skill deficiencies and then join teams that will force you to learn these skills is so insane it feels like cheating. (this is how I felt about the sales skill within cars)
