I might add to my prior post that I've found the business relationships with the attorneys that I've nurtured has been some of the most rewarding of all.

He needs to put that bird in a cage and feed and nurture it.

I was a 23 year old CEO of my company, and felt the same thing-not being taken seriously.I want to give a thoughtful word of encouragement, that it is YOUR RACE, the path is looong and in the end, only with yourself.You DONT need validation from ANYONE, and find the folks who will support you and nurture you.The cynics and naysayers. . . well they SUCK!

But I am excited that I'm verge of planting, growing and nurturing a seed that was planted more than two decades ago.Thanks for the platform that makes this possible BP.

However, it is much more important to me to take care and nurture that relationship with my wholesalers.

I plan on nurturing families and preparing them for home ownership.

Consider that most successful direct mailers that I know must sometimes mail for years to a lead before the lead responds (becomes a prospect) and even then requires further nurturing until they are ready to take action, let alone consider your proposal or engage in negotiations with you.I started mailing NOD's in 1978 after taking Ken Roberts Foreclosure Training (before he was a commodities guy).

I know that intuition and adaptability about real estate will come over the course of time as my concern is to ensure that I am "nurtured" with the right foundation and developing an understanding and awareness of how the real estate business works through sound ethics.

Anyone that does volume has contractor relationships that they have nurtured for a long time.

Why not nurture what you already have?
