I'm 38 years old and I cherish his words.

Cherish this relationship as she seems to be working hard for you. 

Hi @Cherish NicoleNot sure about Tampa Bay, specifically, but I do know that there are a number of "big" brokerages (Keller Williams, Century 21) that offer 100% splits after a certain threshold is reached.

@Cherish Nicole a team would not be like a group training.

I'm not trying to sell anybody here, and I don't feel like a contractor doing his/her job is a luxury that I should cherish. 

Although I didn't agree with it at the time, I certainly cherish now every moment I get to spend at the beach with my wife and children.

She has lovingly filled it with cherished possessions....we truly felt we were staying at the home of a long time friend."

So before i say anything else for all of you that have love ones please hug and kiss them and cherish every moment with them.

It doesn't sound like your "friends" cherish the relationship because they are just walking all over you.Personally, I would give them the minimum notice necessary so they have less opportunity to create new problems.

On the off chance that the guy, with all the free YouTube videos, trying to 3 step sale you and every other wanna be into maxing your credit cards for a $30,000 mentorship is actually something more than a professional “pitch man”, that he was actually successful doing what he’s selling (ignore his personal bankruptcy; that was back when he was “like you are now”, I.e. before he perfected his system), and that he’s not totally blinded by greed, he just wants to “give back” to the real estate community he so loves and cherishes.
