I'm excited right now. Feel like I was on a little roller coaster ride today.
This morning, my H (and his brother) stopped by to get some surfboards from the studio. I had missed his call a few minutes prior, but the dogs let me know when they were barking. I didn't go out and say hi. I was a little surprised at my stress response to the whole thing, but it wasn't that bad. Two days ago he'd wanted to come by to pick those up (same thing happened last Friday) and after I asked him when that would be via text, he never replied. Sometimes it feels like he just chooses not to respect my request to give me notice. Anyway, I know that might not be the case. I think he just can't plan ahead. It's likely he ended up not needing to come by because his brother didn't commit to going with him those days. Who knows, but I'm not gonna take it personally. Was nice to see they were going together today. I know H would be really happy.
Met with the broker, and am pretty excited about how that went. He invited me to join his team. When we met the first time, he said he had a waiting list. He has some great things happening right now and has an opening for me. I get the impression he is a great leader and would be a wonderful mentor. I'd be able to build my own business while having the team to work with at the same time, which would provide some income when things are slow and a lot of support for my own business. It seems like the best of both worlds. I have to admit that as excited as I am, I'm nervous and feel like I should maybe be skeptical. It just feels too easy. I think working with him might be a really good fit for me, and I haven't bothered going out to talk to other brokers. He seems very progressive, down-to-earth, and like he just has real integrity.
So, baby steps. When I finish my course, I'll be able to take the state exam to get my license. I could probably start training under this broker even before then if I wanted. Think I should talk to at least one more person in the industry before I make my decision. I could sure use a coach to guide me through this stage. I'm not feeling as cool and confident as I'd like to be.
