While chatting with the Starbuck’s Barrista this morning, I had a personal revelation. She predicted that being its Wednesday, people coming in the store would be tired and grumpy from working at jobs they do not like. “I like my job” I told her. In fact sometimes it feels like I’m not working at all.
“You’re one of the lucky ones” she told me.
I guess I am. Is it luck that in 2004 my neighbor told me about a real estate investment seminar he was attending in the coming weekend, and that I would choose to go with him? Is it luck that the speaker would inspire me to joining their investment group and learning more about real estate investing? Is it luck that I would enjoy investing in real estate despite all the challenges it brings? Is it luck that my experience would lead to a career change? Is it luck that I would enjoy using my knowledge of real estate market cycles, investing strategies, residential remodeling, negotiating techniques …. to help home buyers and investors make educated decisions when purchasing real estate?
I suppose it could be luck.
I love what I do and for that I am lucky.
