great post F Foster!

@Dave Foster   @Doug Merriott Thank I'm gonna call my local KW office tomorrow to set up an interview and give both of you a call this week.

If you want someone long-term that will help you build your business, you have to foster a relationship that is conducive to that.For some situations in the past, I've used one-off VA's for data entry to tasks that can be accomplished remotely.

@Brianna Schmidt and @George Foster 's group in Chicago is stellar.

Greetings Everyone,Its Foster Algier here, education essential in this business. 

@Dave Foster is always, albeit unintentionally, showing off!
