I did this today. I did this. I sent these emails. I did these calls. I posted these ads. All the shit you do. And all those things, I then organized them. Priority, things I love, things I hate, things I wanna do, things I don't wanna do. And all the stuff I didn't wanna do and the things I hated, that was her job description at the beginning. Swear to God. Calling people, calling pending, checking on agent shit. Getting leads to people, doing contracting stuff, and I still do it to this day.
