The business had grown to having a strong office staff while I attended conferences and developed good business relationships.

The second year of the brokerage brought an ongoing flood of good business from Fannie Mae. During the last year 360 homes, 2 commercial building and the last little shopping center were all sold in just one year.

I was given the opportunity to have 5 small shopping centers to sell one a year. This gave m great exposure to Commercial as well as Residential Real Estate. For these first 3 years I had to work under a broker.

We taught ceramic painting and carving along with making molds to sell to shops during their trade shows in other states. These trade shows were modeled after the professional shows with trophies, winning ribbons, and a photographer to give the retirees in the area something to strive for instead of just wasting time.

As a result of developing a consistent schedule of visiting a quality jewelry distributor in Los Angeles, he started supplying me with merchandise to show his new designs in Atlanta when I took my regular monthly sales trip.

This was one of Motorola's smaller factories. Even with an assistant helping with the routine work, the responsibility for correspondence, production reports, ordering, 5 year projected profit reports, keeping the offices stocked, and various personnel issues.
