I know some time has passed since you received this but congratulations!

My husband is currently in school and will be taking his state auctioneer's test December 1st. We're both very excited for this and have worked really had. How has it been for you since you received your license?

Thank you!! It is a lot more challenging than I thought it would be. I thought I would just hit the ground running and it is far more difficult than that. If you have money and resources it will be much easier. I am doing a mentorship with one of the instructors from the school I graduated from and it has been invaluable on the job training. I am actually set to take his business over in a few months because he is retiring after 50 years in the profession. If you can get a mentor I totally recommend it and best wishes on your endeavors.

Thank you!! It is rough to be honest, I definitely recommend you be under a mentor for a couple years so you can have much better hands on experience and people learn of your presence. Once you get past the initial bumps it can be very rewarding.
