I've known people who are in sales, or other highly cyclical businesses where sometimes you're rolling in money and sometimes you're in a broke-ass drought. Do you roll with it that way, feast and famine, boats and toys when you're up and selling stuff off when you're down? Or do you save while you're making money to fund yourself through the down times?
You thinking about branching out on your own and starting an agency???
I can't add any value here as my career has been salaried but I am itching to transition fully into real estate (why I sold my track toy, thought my salary job was in jeopardy). Right now the market is so hot its easy to be successful so I want to do both full time until we hit a down turn. If I can make good money in a down turn then I know im set. If not then Ill be glad I hustled two full time jobs and stacked away all the cash when times were good.
Not to mention I miss the track so I want another track toy!!!
