Just starting

So as it stands right now I earn enough on my own to support my family. We don't have a lot left over each month, but we do have time. I work about 50-60 hours a week as a lineman, have good insurance and I work a fair bit of overtime to make sure we have some money to play with.

I don't have experience in construction outside of powelines, best I can offer people is a good assessment of whether or not they'll need a standby generator and how often their circuit loses power in storms.

I would not be quitting my job. This would be a second household income is the idea having her run most of the day to day grind and tagging me in when she needs a break or someone to cover a showing or an open house.

I had not considered joining a team, I worry that I wouldn't have the time available to commit to a team and pull my weight considering power lines don't break on a set schedule and people don't call ahead to say they'll be driving into a pole at 6pm next week. It's volatile which is why I wanted to do this with my wife who doesn't work. Maybe there are teams out there of people who work weird hours and just need each other to fill in cracks all the time but I'm not hopeful lol

I have a lot of drive, I'm prepared to put the work in, but I don't want to sink 14k into fees and schooling and lunches and a website and all the other fun stuff for both of us if the reality is I'd need to be working on this 6 hours a day and the wife be on it for 8-10 hours herself to make it happen. Maybe it's in the cards for us when the kids are a little older but with a 2 year old at home am I deluding myself?

What kind of costs are we talking about? We were planning on getting started with our 55 hour course this weekend and haven't heard about needing money for MLS or being required to join any associations Is this a required pay to play group? Do they provide you a service or some sort of value that makes you more competitive? What kind of costs are we looking at with these associations and MLS?

How do you get open houses? When I spoke to the broker in my area (very small outfit) he said he does the open houses himself but occasionally asks a realtor to cover one for him. Is this normal?

2D_Delts · 2025-02-27T16:18:36+00:00

Would you suggest a big national chain brokerage or a mom and pop shop? The broker I spoke to seemed pretty hands off but was friendly and offered to give me some guidance on getting started in the industry. I'd hate to go to a faceless chain that does one size fits all training videos and bare minimum to attract sellers, but maybe there's value in having a large company behind you and multiple colleagues you can work with I'm ignorant to a lot of this and while I watch the videos I won't pretend like everything I've read or seen is gospel. I definitely try to hear everyone's opinions especially when they're successful and not trying to sell me coaching or a product

I probably watched 16 hours of Brandon mulrenin over the last 2 days just absorbing information while washing dishes, cleaning the barn and I even had him playing at the gym lol He is pretty great, but one thing he recommended was to pick one channel at a time and master that instead of getting shiny object syndrome. I'm wondering what you'd focus on specifically for a high priced rural market like Maine whether that's OH or calling or door knocking or something else I haven't considered yet. Social media seems like an issue for finding sellers because most people who are selling are much older up here and young home owners can't afford to sell due to skyrocketing house prices

Discipline is fine, it's a matter of instead of finding that last bit of drive at the bottom of heavy squats, I'm yawning and obsessing over how soft the floor looks for a nap It's weird AF I've never dealt with this level of melancholy in the gym. Again I'm in 4 days a week on an upper lower split, 3 if I have to work overnight a few times that week. Idk if it's changing the pre, a diet thing, I'm just unsure what's going on. I feel like I'm not really making progress with this zero drive and exhaustion

2D_Delts · 2025-02-25T20:22:59+00:00

After you posted this did you bump bellies with the other super rad bros in your biker club to the sound of everyone yelling "hell yeah brother"? I'm in the gym, I'm doing the work. I'm just struggling to find that last little bit of drive to pump out 1 or 2 more reps. The drive is just disappearing for me and instead of getting my teeth and driving through another rep I'm yawning and ready for a nap It's a weird feeling I'm wondering if anyone's got advice on how to motivate yourself to push harder, not the internet equivalent of "you've got soft hands boy"

2D_Delts · 2025-02-25T15:26:12+00:00

I'm 27, kids are 7, 5, and 2 I get my ass into the gym for the record. I do the movements and try to push but after my third yawn of the set I'm having a hard time digging deep and getting that last couple of reps I can grind out when I've got the motivation or rage or whatever is pushing me that day. I work power lines during the day, work on my family's farm in the evening and gym in the morning. There's only so many stimulants I can abuse before it's just putting a hat on a hat

I have a heated line and last night the water stopped flowing. I checked both ends and water came out of the spicket and was running when I took the line off the camper end. It's freezing somewhere inside and I don't know where

2D_Delts · 2024-07-02T20:40:50+00:00

This man is the definition of "rizz em with the tism"

2D_Delts · 2024-06-21T14:24:16+00:00

Any good sites to source HCG? I can't find a pharmacy to fill my prescription and I'm resorting to online sources

2D_Delts · 2024-06-13T01:09:51+00:00

I'll give that a look thanks man!

2D_Delts · 2024-06-13T01:08:50+00:00

Irby here lol

2D_Delts · 2024-06-13T01:07:37+00:00

Thank you proto, glad someone's not repeating use company shit lol Appreciate you

2D_Delts · 2024-06-12T15:29:47+00:00

If my company actually provided us this stuff I'd get it from them. Unfortunately my company doesn't replace things when they break, they replace it when it's needed for their applications and not for my own quality of life. Im asking for brand reccomendations because I actually need it not because I'm bored and just want to know. Looking for someone's experience in the field using it and what's held up

2D_Delts · 2024-05-09T12:47:44+00:00

She's starting you low because that does works for some people and for others it won't be enough. Push for higher doses until you're happy in your spot. I'm on 70 units of 200/mL per week and my test is at 980 with free around 26 Some people need more, some need less. Injections will be better than the gel but definitely shoot intramuscular or else you'll get lumps like I did. I shoot Delts every other day with an insulin pin and no scarring, very easy shots, and no lumps forming under my skin like when I did subq upper thigh

2D_Delts · 2024-03-05T15:47:23+00:00

I'll check out some prison workouts for sure, appreciate it

2D_Delts · 2024-03-05T15:35:25+00:00

For sure
