Today when I logged into the MLS I was notified of the association offering their condolences to a number of agent's families that had passed away.

It reminded me that most people never retire from real estate. 

They either just quit, die while still an agent, or have retired from something else and have become a real estate agent for fun, or as something to do. 

After that, I listened to Colin Cowherd talk today about how you will never become wealthy by being conservative.

He was talking about football, but it made so much sense.

He said if you play it conservative by staying at the same job and maxing out your 401k you will have a comfortable life.

But that won't create wealth.

In order to create wealth, you need to take a shot.

Well... here I am, taking my shot.
