There is a greater commitment to learning when you physically have to go to a class than sit in your undershorts on your computer, it will make a difference in your attitude toward learning and the benefit you will gain for the additional efforts made.Ask any real teacher and I'm sure they will agree that classroom instruction will be much better than internet instruction.

Also, everyone's attitude to risk is different.

My business plan (investor agent part) doesn't sync with my brokers ideas (mainstream, what are you doing with these fools attitude LOL)I see investors as RETURNING clients, and FUTURE listings ;p am I wrong to think that?

I would recommend, if you're just starting an office like Keller Williams (I have my license with them now and I had my son start there) they have excellent education, great attitude and the system is designed so you never have to leave no matter how successful you become.  

You must have a team player attitude and want to help others make money.We have systems in place for individuals with an entrepreneurial mindset, who are willing to roll up their sleeves, and put in the work.

Attitudes cause people to be a danger to the public and themselves!

It sounds like you have the background and the attitude to be really successful.

Anyway, you get the idea...the more value the original poster can initially add to the forum, the more that poster can and should expect added value from the replies.Best of luck and thanks for your great attitude.

Many have an "entitlement" attitude that they can do as they please and break any laws they don't agree with.

You don't have any real leverage.Also, your attitude is right: you want to pay a fair (even "premium fair") rate for the service that was performed, and you want to pay it promptly, but you don't want to be gouged after the fact.Unless you're a really good negotiator, the best way to create leverage when you have none is to use a proxy.
