Fellas, it takes a big leap of faith and lots of hard work to make the change. When I moved out to Vegas in 99, I was a master GM tech. After only a few years of turning wrenches, i felt like I was almost topped out already in pay. I was one of the most productive techs in the shops I worked at. Luckily for me, one door closed, and another swung wide open.
For the last 16 years, I've been in real estate sales. It was a rough start with many bumps along the way. I feel like I've now slayed this lion and climbed this mountain. My plan is to make the best of the current cycle and retire in 3-5 years. I'm ready for a new adventure. At this point I'm thinking real estate or business coaching.
My advice is to seriously plan, scheme, and plot first. Educate yourself and speak to others in your proposed path. Then go at it guns a blazing. Outwork your competition and believe in yourself. There is plenty of opportunity out there. You just have to be looking in the right place.
