When can I call myself a serious Real Estate Investor

I've done one Mortgage Note deal, One single family home deal, and I'm closing on a duplex hopefully by the end of this month. When can I call myself a serious real estate investor? I'm sorry if this sounds prideful, I'm just curious and I don't want to be arrogant when I haven't done per say a lot of deals. Although I'm thinking regardless of how many deals I've done I still feel cocky and brass for even asking this question. I still definitely would catorgize me as being a newbie investor, but I'm curious how many deals does it take to be considered an average, or even an advanced investor? Is there such a scale, should we even measure our knowledge or seriousness by the number of deals we've done? How do you measure success? Is it subjective or should it be objective? #askbp

Easy answer. 

 When you don't have the need to ask.
