Laugh and the world will laugh with you. Fart and…

[Joe S.]

There’s an old saying that says laugh and the world will laugh with you. Fart and stand alone.
After 20+ years of buying, selling properties and having several tenants from Hades, I wanted to share a couple of thoughts.

1. If you succeed in a big way, you will gain some friends and admirers. 

( you’ll even have more friends if you pay for all the events, trips, and dinners. Lol.)

2. If you have problems Don’t expect much help.  

Every once in a while, somebody will come on here usually brand new and say hello bigger pockets family. Now I’m sure the owners of Bigger Pockets are glad that you would say that, but in reality, Bigger Pockets is full up with strangers, and there are very few posters that do not have something to gain by posting.

If something goes wrong in your life, don’t expect a lot of help even from a paid mentor. You have to be responsible to get up every day and focus on your own goals. 

I was not trying to be negative, but simply pointing out the world typically response to what you make of it.
