@Michael Quarles is an excellent teacher.

But here is my gripe with seasoned RE folks on this message board - as a former mathematics teacher and now VOIP engineer, I can relate to how intimidating a new career or learning new info can be.  

He is a teacher full-time, so he just did this for us on the side.

I would love to do it well enough that the students become the teacher and I'm able to invest in their endeavors!

@Jake Stuttgen we will still be working as teachers for the next couple of years until this business can grow to the point where it can support us.

Your agent is your teacher, your advocate, your confidant, your teammate, your consultant. 

.: I remember the year I sponsored Schools and gave the teachers Pencils..

I am not talking about the acquaintances we have in our lives, like the postal worker or the teacher of our children.

Is experience the best teacher?  

As a full time teacher at this point, I don't have time to make cold calls - it's hard enough for me to deal with the calls off my letters during the day (i do try to answer as many as possible and not let them go directly to VM).
