the edge is change.
it’s what you don’t see coming…
so get out of your comfort zone
and deal with it.
Last December I left the nine-to-five data entry job that I landed at a private corporation after college and started a commission-based sales and marketing job in property management. It’s like being a real estate agent, but selling apartments instead of houses, and moving every few weeks from project to project like a consultant.
If that sounds crazy to you – you’re right, it is. In 2014, I lived quietly in Gainesville, Georgia. In 2015, I put everything into storage while I live on the road out of two suitcases. By the numbers this past year, I spent 90 days at “home” and 275 days traveling. I worked for six wildly different property management companies. I visited eleven new states and provinces. This lifestyle isn’t for everyone, and I won’t live this way forever. But I’m amazed at how much of a growing experience it’s been.
Why the change? Couldn’t I have had growth without making such drastic changes? Was there any big-picture reasoning in this decision? And most importantly, why should you care about all this?
