Real estate professionals essentially operate their own businesses, so getting to know as many people as possible is critical. In food service, you are in contact with the general public and meeting new people all of the time. You are absolutely correct about people judging others based on their interactions with the wait staff of a restaurant (I have often overheard conversations of judgment coming from nearby tables about a particular diner's attitude with their server). Networking is critical, and people in these roles can provide a quick and easy way to develop your network. Thanks!

So many people don't seem to get this and want everything to come to them neatly in office hours. I like the point about meeting people late and putting the extra work outside of office hours.

Yes, the weather is crazy. Uh huh, those politicians sure are wacky. No, I don’t know much about French wine, mostly because I can’t afford French wine. Oh, and the fact that getting drunk at $100 a bottle doesn’t really appeal to me. Why can’t we just cut through the formality and get to the point? I need a job, you have a job, and we need each other. So how about we give this thing a shot and see what happens?

I work hard. It doesn’t stop. From the moment I wake up, I am working, until the moment I close my eyes in bed. And because I can work from the coffee shop, home or at the bar, and not just in my cubicle sans windows, I do. Which means when it is 8:24 pm, I’m usually working. And when it’s 10:02 am, I am working. And when it’s 3:35 am in the morning, well, I am sleeping, but I am working then too. Really. I have productive dreams.
