Ima Student January 3, 2023 BRE-101-12345 Real Estate Practice My Motivation My family means the world to me, and that’s why I am motivated to pursue a real estate career. I am passionate about helping our community members become homeowners, and while serving others I will be building a financial legacy. Although I know there will be obstacles, I will overcome them by focusing on my vision. Slowly but surely, I will work to build a better life for my family. Despite my past adversity, I will rise to the challenge and prove that I can achieve my career goals by being a good example for my children to follow. My favorite quote from Les Brown that keeps me motivated is, “Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears,” (Les Brown). This means that often people do not achieve their goals because they are afraid of the risk involved. Real estate is a very competitive industry and I will need to be strong, courageous, and take calculated risks. When I feel discouraged, I will re-focus on my goals and remember why I am pushing forward with my real estate career. No matter what, I will remember my goals for my family and finish strong.
