There are a lot of success stories related to the real estate agent. However, don't just listen to the good news people want to share. Listen to those who had the same ambition, but failed. It's not a way to discourage you; it is to inform you what others did wrong so you won't do the same.
Have the confidence of a salesman and the humility of a beggar to keep you grounded. Honestly, this will keep you from going way over your head when you do become successful.
