The money and the control of my business is my why. I can quit any day I want or work my butt off the next. It is my choice. I totally select who I work with and will not work with anyone that makes me stressed or I feel is lying to me. It is my choice and I love that part.

My WHY hasn't changed in my 15 years since I founded Allstar Home Mortgage. To truely help customers with their financial decisions and to change the image of what a Mortgage Broker should really be. Money has never been a factor, because if I keep being true to myself, things will always work out at the end of the year.

Good question. 
I am the lone agent who started out 10 years ago.

Two got FT benefited jobs. One, his licensed was revoked. A few got frustrated and became stay at home moms. Others let their license expire...

It is not meant for everyone. One really needs to motivate himself.

Retired Agent / Broker / Prop. Mgr, Wenatchee, WA

My WHY has changed over the years.  Originally it was a way for me to supplement our income doing something I was passionate about... giving people competent representation buying and selling a home.  

Now, it is not about the money.  It is about helping new agents SURVIVE this crazy business.  With an 87% failure rate, there is a lot of need for a Survival Guide.  That's me, the Survival Guide.

Originally it was to give people a good resource in helping with their dreams.  While still the same, along with making a living, I no longer wear the rose colored glasses I did when first starting.  I am too stubborn to quit a profession I do not feel I have succeeded in, before moving on if I want.  Mark
