Marshall,While nothing's ever guaranteed, I've invested with Prodigy Network and I think they're an outstanding company -- great leadership, seem to have a lot of integrity, and generally very high-quality deals.

No better way to vent their little tantrums, no leadership skills, just a Barney Fife of his little temp gig?  

My daughter just earned a masters in educational leadership at 37 yo.I learned yesterday that spending $40 to join my alumni association would cut my car insurance by $270 a year.

The best way to find clients is to give back to the community by sharing your knowledge and building your thought leadership platform.

That’s the easy fall-back for those that rely on old school beliefs that things are going to stay the same forever and don’t want to put any thought leadership into how we can inspire change in an industry that is about to see a complete reorg.

There is a revolving line of new agents that join them and networth (at one point the same company), which speaks alot about the leadership, etc with the office here in Denver.  

I'm a Spartan too (#GoWhite), graduated with my Masters in Management, Leadership, and Strategy a couple of years back with a 4.0 GPA, all while serving as an officer in the Air Force National Guard, serving as the treasurer on my local Board of Education, and leading/building engineering teams in my full-time job.

While serving in the military this book as provided me such an insight on the human mind, motivation, and leadership.

Additionally I’m in a professional development program in advance applied strategic leadership (masters of science degree) and that takes up a lot of time.

you need to build a thought leadership platform, have a professional credibility package about you and what you do,  you could write a book or a special report about investing in the asset class you are looking at.
