The First Years in Real Estate Are About Survival w/ Darien Sharpe | The Circle Investor Podcast

Описание: This clip dives into the realities of building a career in real estate that doesn’t end at the transaction. From first-year agent struggles and time-for-money math to client relationships that turn into long-term friendships, this conversation explores what entrepreneurship really demands. We talk candidly about sacrifice, misunderstood commissions, the grind nobody sees, and why freedom (not flashy income) is often the real measure of success. If you’ve ever questioned whether the hours, uncertainty, and pressure are worth it, this episode offers an honest look at what it takes to stay the course.
