Business Marketing/ Real estate
By: Demetrius Edwards

During my career project I studied business marketing and real estate and I learned a lot. This project was so important to me because I did lots of research on the career that I’m choosing for my future. It taught me the good and the bad so that if I do choose to follow in this lifestyle then I’ll know the ups and the downs. I first researched business marketing the followed up with real estate.

While doing my research on business marketing I learned that it is not all that easy to jump into this career. Even though it may be tough it still doesn’t push me away from pursing my career. I’m still interested in business marketing, because owning my own store or any business has always been a dream of mine. Some people may say that it’s tough to accomplish this goal, but in my mind nothing is hard if only you apply your abilities to learn. I have a couple of people in my family that have been running business for a period of time now and even though the economy is not doing so great right now they are still managing to get through the tough times and they are my role model.

Speaking of role models I have couple of them. Mr. Ken Barnes whom works in the school that I attend and also my cousin Rodney Copper, they both work in the field of real estate. They both taught me a lot about how to be successful and what to watch out for when I ever do make in their shoes. The most valuable thing that I learned from doing my mentorship was always become flexible with your buyers. No matter if you want to sell your land, house, or etc if your customer does not have all of the money that you are expecting then bend a little with them and this way that you know that since you showed them some love that they will always come in contact with you when they choice to move again. Another beneficial thing to become successful was to not only work for the money, but to enjoy what you do and this will help you out as a realtor by people spreading the word of you.

If I were to pursue this career then I would choice being a realtor, because I think that I’m good with talking to people, I’m very persuasive to get you in my comfort zone, and I’m good at selling my self. Running my own real estate company would be even better, because then I would be able to pursue both of my goals by owning a company and becoming a realtor doing something that I think I’d love. Hopefully that since I have someone in my family that choose the same path that I’ll be token under his wing and showed more then I already know.

Through all the hard work that I did on my research project I really believed that it really strengthen me in numerous ways. It taught me that I’ll have to become patient, because this career doesn’t happen over night it takes school and more school and also lots of your time, but it’s worth it in the long run. I’m glad that I had the opportunity to work on this project and on something that I look forward to doing in my future.
