So i started my real estate business up about 4 years ago me and my wife and took over are area. Now my family and friends come to me asking questions and starting to try and do exactly what i do. They never had any interest before now i started from bottom and came up. Literally i started a big thing around here and people are doing it and mostly family and i really feel annoyed especially the ones who mever had a job and have been given everything. How would you guys take this?

    @Joshua D.

    Help them. Help them as much as you possibly can. Here's the thing, you can tell 1000 people all the secrets to your biz, 999 of them are not going to put in the work necessary to do as well as you say you are doing. (no offense but idk you so idk what kind of business you have)

    Live life with an abundance mindset and you'll benefit more. Tell them all the "secrets", have them join your team, have them finding deals for you, have them finding buyers for you, have them cold calling, have them answering motivated seller leads, have them put up bandit signs for you, so many things you could have them do for you.
