I’ve been in your shoes.

To me, it was disheartening to hear realtors making more money and I was working more hours.

I shifted to following the money backwards. What did people who were making money need done to automate niche parts of their job. I didn’t need to make a billion dollar business. I just have to make $400k a year to be in the top 1% of the USA.

I’m not yet at the top 1% and the realtors can still make more but if this year goes well I’ll be there.

Example: Law firms need to do discovery in litigation and often tend to hire third party firms to do the technology work collecting data. It’s called e-discovery. There are tons of little rabbit holes in that space I found to look at. Amongst other things.



Wish you best of luck with reaching your goals.

Would be happy to hear a bit more about how you made the transition.
