Told I was a 2 percenter by my boss today??

[MidLifeStallion]

My name is Steve. I'm, currently, a plumber at a large plumbing company. I do service work. I sold $633,000 worth of plumbing last year and I got paid 20% of that. Just over $120,000 last year. I broke every daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly sales record for my company in 2014. Not bad for a plumber. At the end of last year, I bought my first rental property, a duplex. I live in one side and rent the other side out. I plan on buying more properties in the future, so I went and got a real estate license thinking I would learn more about investing. Of course, I didn't. You only learn what you need to know to pass the state test. Anyway, I have this license now so I decided that real estate would give me better control of my time and income then plumbing. After reading Millionaire Fastlane , I see how working in real estate is a faster lane then plumbing. With plumbing I am totally at the control of The Company. Anyway, I was talking to the owner of the plumbing company today and he informed me that if I left to pursue a career in real estate, that it wouldn't matter to him. He said, "Your a 2%er Steve, I will probably never see anyone like you walk thru the door ever again, but I have to build this company around the 98% that can't do what you can." At first this floored me. I used to think that a sales company would want to keep their top producers, but I was wrong. The top 2% salesmen at ANY company are just that....only 2%. I never thought of it that way and it hit me like a ton of bricks. That's why Corporate America can be like it is. The MORE you succeed, the smaller of a group you join. Eventually your at the top of the heap and you realize your just the best slave. Anyway, I called my trainer at the real estate company and informed him that we would be going full steam on my training from here on out. I will still work at the plumbing company until I get my real estate pipeline going. I would love to hear ANY advice on this subject either on starting real estate or how to deal with the plumbing company until my departure.
