Thanks for the reply, I do see the value in studying people in the elite 1200, I am very curious about getting into this. Okay. Well i'm a mortgage broker but I've been slow to grasp concepts, so my boss just has me doing back office stuff like filing loan applications to banks and calling leads to organise meetings, I paid 17,000 for the diploma to get into this, and right now I only make like 500 a week. This frustrates me because I want to be out there making sales, improving my skills. Not photocopying. I realise I have to start from the bottom, but I am just a pawn in my current firm. I'm only 24 and want to be on the pavement, on the phone building my own self, my own brand.
I see the value in the elite 1200 because I've studied the inc 5000 list of growing businesses since i was 20, It was all mental masturbation for me which is why for 2016 I want something to just throw myself into. Energy broking/energy saving seems a big interest for me because building my network interests me, i already have a rule where I add 5 people a day on linkedIn, could you explain what aggressive networking means to you? I know there are networking events you can go to, but my boss told me they are just bottom feeders. I will and can do it, I want to get on the phone.
I will always be draw to broking in same way or another due to what you talk about in this thread, the ability to leverage relationships and get a piece of the bigger pie. What i'm confused about is googling energy broking jobs Australia and nothing coming up in terms of jobs, I am trying to do research to see if it's called something else here.
I know you've littered plenty of threads on this forum with golden eggs of knowledge on how to get started in this, Trust me i've spent all last night reading them, I'm going to continue to study the 1200, My first challenge is understanding the industry in Australia and getting some basics down online if I can study them, I can then make a calculated choice on who I'll approach and what I will try to position myself as, like you said I don't just want to work for a base salary and commission, I want to start my own little business if you will.
Right now i'll continue doing mortgage broking/admin, building my cold calling skills, my organisational skills and my belief in myself. BUT, I see this as something that could be alot more fastlane for me, mortgage broking will take me to about 60-80k working for my boss, under a franchise, I don't envision that as success, I envision that as being normal. I haven't read scoured this forum everyday for years to be normal. 2016 will be action. Independent action.
Thank you for the value you provide in all these posts, one thing over the years I see is not enough people saying thank you here. Successful people like you are time short, taking the time out to educate people like us really makes me appreciate the people out there.
Very cool. I wish you the best of luck my friend. I like the way you think and think you will get far if you keep working on it.
