Fear holds us all back at some point in our lives! Recognizing it is the first step to freedom!

Although I did a lot of moving and lived in several states changing careers in my 40's has had to be one of the most challenging things I have done. Accounting has always been my passion and when I decided to leave it behind and give Real Estate a try it was my desire to help my family that gave me the nerve to take the chance. A stay at home mom for 20 years managing a family business and then working as a controller for 5 years I never saw what was to come. I loved what I did but wasn't happy with the 9-5 structure nor the amount of time accounting forces one to spend alone; it takes a lot of concentration and patients. I longed for people, interaction and movement in my life. When my daughter asked me to join her dream of having a full service Real Estate Agency I thought I'd be in the office as usual. As I watched my daughter flourish I saw a lot of myself that I never unleashed.

Fear was the obstacle and I can't explain why; it has a life of it's own! I've always been so strong and outgoing and when I found myself in a career where I could be both I felt frozen, inadequateand and weak. I am quickly realizing that there is no basis for fear, it creeps up on you and all we really need to do is recognize it for what it is, push through and go for it any way. I know I have a lot to offer and that I genuinely care about people. Buyers and sellers need us and we need them! Being needed has always been what has driven me and when I push through the fear and give of myself I know I'm serving a need out there that many have a hard time finding. I'm going to stop the fear in it's tracks and let everyone I encounter know how I can assist them with all of their Real Estate needs!

Let me know how you have overcome yours and if you haven't, face it and push hard! I know you can do it!

Happy fourth of July!!
