Re-creating everything about yourself

Good Evening to everyone. I am new to the Dean site as a participant but I have followed along for several months. December of 2008 I lost my job, I was engaged with a one year old child at the time. Since then I have sent hundreds of resumes, and only had the pleasure of 1 interview, which I was told I was over qualified for the position. I have loved real-estate for ever (owning a few rentals in the past and reading tons of books on the subject over the years) and a friend recently talked me into getting my real-estate salesperson license. I figured it would help me find deals for myself as well as assist others so I did and I am now a new realtor in NJ. I am excited and terrified at the same time (if that makes sense). I believe in the power of real-estate, but although I have owned in the past, I didn't have to depend on it to survive. Although this is something I have wanted to do for the last 21 years I still feel a little lost and alone. I look forward to the chance to re-create myself and I am open to any advise and/or positive words of encouragement. As I said I am just starting as a realtor so I have yet to get a listing or sale, I know it's said the first one is the hardest, so wish me luck .
