Can we have a Real talk?
I used to think real estate would be like those shows.
You know the ones — three houses, a latte, and a deal over brunch.
Turns out… no one shows the other part.
The part where you’re waking up wondering where your next lead’s coming from.
Here’s what I wish someone had told me on day one:
This job will break you if you treat it like a side hustle.
I’m not saying part-timers can’t win — I’ve seen them do it.
But every one of them worked their tail off.
Because real estate doesn’t care how many hours you have.
It cares how many dials, how many convos, how much consistency you bring — every damn day.
And prospecting?
It’s not optional.
It’s the lifeline.
Most agents don’t fail because they’re lazy.
They fail because they’re listening to the wrong people.
Chasing shiny objects.
Posting reels instead of picking up the phone.
So yeah, I’m blunt. But only because I’ve been there.
And that’s exactly what I write about in Ask8, the site you are on:
The unfiltered, in-the-trenches stuff I wish someone had handed me when I started.
