It gives me great pleasure to announce that I’ve reached one of my important career goals this year, that of getting a real estate broker’s license. I just checked at the Department of Real Estate, and sure enough, I passed the test and they’ve upgraded my license. The broker’s license recognizes people who’ve trained hard enough and are competent to conduct real estate business on their own. I anticipate continuing at REMAX for the time being, however, though it’s nice to know I can explore the possiblity of perhaps opening up a full service shop (real estate sales plus financing).

More importantly, I’m naive enough to believe in what Ben Franklin was alleged to have said about career development. “Empty your purse into your mind, and your mind will fill your purse with coins.”

Of course, back in those days you could wear powdered wigs and carry a purse around and it was no big deal.

Times change.

Oh, and speaking of times changing, I’m pleased to say that my real estate broker’s license became effective yesterday, December 6th, even though I learned of it today. I always remember December 7th instead as a date that will live in infamy, so I’m glad it came through yesterday.
