I loved it all. Yes, it was long days, but I learned so much and met some really fantastic people. I liked Don`s jokes. He`s kind of got the same sense of humor as me.
Among my favorite things....Peter Kinches presentations (because I was confused about the whole mortgage thing, and he really cleared up some questions that I was asking)
But my FAVORITE PART, was Don`s closing story yesterday. I guess I was feeling a little overwhelmed by all of the information and I was starting to doubt myself and my ability to go forward. I had written out my personal Belize the night before, but when Don was telling the story about when his Dad ended up in the hospital and he had to rush to Abbotsford. That is was really got me going again. He said, real estate gave him the time to spend with his Dad without worrying about missing time at work etc. I went through a similar situation with my parents. My Dad suffered for 2 years with cancer and Mom passed away 6 months later (with cancer and lonliness I think). I was 8 hrs away from home, living in Fort Mac and they were in Saskatchewan. I had to miss alot of time from work, and although my boss was 110% supportive of what I had to do, it was still in the back of my mind that I had to get back to work and not miss too much time.
All the time when writing my personal belize, I too wanted to have the freedom to get up and go where I was needed, but didn`t know how to put it in writing. When Don was telling us his story at the end of the day, he said exactly what I wanted to write on paper. Having the freedom to do what needed to be done and give 100% to my friends and family. Thank you for that Don. That`s what I needed to here to push myself forward.
