I recently entered the real estate business as a broker. Around 1.5 months have passed, mostly doing cold calls but also spreading the word in my network. No success so far, but I'm sticking to it. Experience people tell me it takes months to close your first deal.
My office is just 10 minutes away from where I live, so I save a lot of commute time. Thus, I'm finding that I have 2-3 hours everyday where I can dedicate myself to learning a new skill to increase my income. I'm 36 years old and married.
The only thing left to be desired for me is a career in computers / tech. I've always been madly into tech. Since childhood, I was the one my neighbours would call of fix their computers or build them new PCs. Same during university (I'm a Chemical Engineer. Couldnt get through with Computer Engineering which was my desired field).
I also learnt coding at a very early age (15-18). This was C, C++, C#, Java, Databases and Systems Management. However since then, I've mostly been out of touch with coding. I do know wordpress and building websites in wordpress via themes.
I'm thinking how I can invest this 2-3 hours and play a long term game. Maybe dive back in coding? I know it is a highly desirable and well paying skill. However, I really don't know what language to learn, where to start, how to approach interested clients, who to approach, what path to take.
Need some guidance from TMF community on where I should apply my effort and time to.
