Hi all,

Right now I am in Real estate as an agent. It is not bad for being self employed. I got into this to raise capital for investments in property. I have learned a lot but I do not like all the day to day stresses of a Real estate transaction. It simply is not enjoyable and not scaleble at all. If one person does not do what they are suppose to do you simply do not get paid and the transaction falls apart. I have more business then I can handle now but I truly do not like the work. I got this far from online marketing/social media marketing. The broker provides no leads at all but a strong split.

Would I be better off investing my energy into a business that is more liquid and sustainable? I was thinking about a Carpet cleaning start-up? There sure is a need for the service. On top of that I can stay in Real estate on the investor side of things with the cash-flow from the cleaning biz. Is this a bad business choice? Any feedback would be great.
