While I've never been a broker. Selling is selling. I was a salesman for 17 years. Its a very tough job. I was pretty good, made more than I do now, but I am alot happier now. Sure you could sell from home but you wont be very successful. You could also sell insurance, mortages, mutual funds, and any number of things from home but whom are you going to sell to? If you are entering a brand new field with no contacts, relationships, or customers your life is all about cold calling. You and every other newbie in the field are cold calling strangers. You will sound desperate and inexperienced and you will struggle. You will hear "no" dozens of times for every "yes". You cannot imagine how demoralizing it can be. People make it, maybe you could be one. There is a reason sales people make the most money. If it was easy everyone would be doing it.
