00:00 Real estate is a roller coaster.
00:02 There's no salary, there's no benefits.
00:03 You have to be somewhat crazy to get into any business
00:06 that is purely focused on commission,
00:08 but it is a complete meritocracy.
00:10 The harder you work, the luckier you're gonna get.
00:13 But it's easy to get out of the business
00:15 when you lose a deal or you don't make money for six months.
00:18 And so the best advice I ever got to handle a career
00:22 that is like this is take care of the work
00:27 and the work will take care of you.
00:30 Don't focus on the money, don't focus on the deals,
00:32 don't focus on the noise.
00:35 The markets are gonna go up, the markets are gonna go down
00:37 and then they go back up again and then they go

00:39 So just take care of the work.
00:40 If you do the work every day, day in and day out,
00:44 that work will by default take care of you.
00:47 And it has proven true for the last 15 years.
