When you're comparing the entire universe of investing to come up with a couple of phrases to encapsulate the idea that "if you're not doing as well as you could be, then you're losing out", it's a terrible, defeatist attitude.

Marcus already stole my quote..... provide your kids enough $$ to do something but not enough to do nothing....Shaq also has the right attitude with his kids.... he has multiple statements about his wealth and his kids... basically he says " WE arent rich.....

And, the same applies to any newbie regardless of age, you'll find old guys with similar attitudes.  

Seller's rights before buyer's rights.I happy to hear your attitude!  

When I ask them to confirm, their address, their attitude changes.

Maybe some judge just hates wholesalers and throws a big fine out, I haven't interviewed judgesThere been people find $1000 a day for over 30 days doing some kInd of assignments in Ohio thats a factIf you want to know more I will just contact the Columbus or Cincinnati or Cleveland real estate investors Association and try to get a better feeling on what the Ohio commission wants, and then getting attorney to go over the statute and the previous fines and how can you build the business if you're not licensed and complyTo me this is analogous with Dodd Frank and using lease option assignments, my attitude is I'm going to get aRMLO if I'm going to do a lease option assignment, I want to protect my seller and myself in case the buyer gets a lawyer and says I didn't underwrite the buyer properly as to the ability to repay rules.  

Coming at this with a learning attitude, not at all contradicting you btw

Do you believe that the attitude that I have the fact that I am not very aggressive and sometimes not very confident of myself because I have yet to close my first transaction since I started this new business, do you believe that that is an important part in closing the transaction.

I think a lot of this sort of attitude comes from a lack of education (and of thinking things through).People have these reactions that go something like this:"This bad man wrote to my dear old aunt trying to trick her into selling her house that's worth at least 100K for only 60K!

Again, the problem is that real estate isn't ice and a different attitude is required in dealing with real property, but Michael also knows this.
