Building a Lasting Career - Ask Vinny

Ask Vinny

Dear Vinny,

I am a couple of years into my career in land sales, and while I've had some success, I'm beginning to think about how to sustain a long and prosperous career in this field. With market fluctuations and shifts in client preferences and demand, I want to make sure I am setting myself up for long-term success. Do you have any tips and strategies for sustaining a successful career in land sales over the long term?

Dear Land Sales,

All I can say is be persistent. Enjoy your wins, but also learn from your losses. If you save your money from your wins and chop wood every day, you will eventually stand out and reap the rewards. It is not an easy business to be in, and land is a finite asset, but if you can ride the ups and downs, success will come your way.
