It’s much easier to have self discipline if you have clear goals and meaningful purpose; we are filled with so many distractions in todays society, I encourage you to do whatever it takes to starve that distraction.

First of all, I'm JT O'Shea, and I come from a background that seemingly deviates from society's perception of the image of real estate investors.

I have donated dogs for service animals and they always turn down fat headed dogs even if they are the best candidates, because of peoples negative perceptions.

Your business card with logo may give people a perception of professionalism at the beginning but true professionalism is demonstrated by how you operate.You asked if it's a bad idea and I think it is.

I would argue that the general public would recognize and appreciate the Energy Star logo over the LEED/USGBC logo the majority of the times (public perception is a big part of a corporation choosing a 'green' certification).I went though LEED design professional stuff along time ago, when it was really hot.

Mastering delay of gratification is very important if you want to avoid 90% of the money traps in society.

Unfortunately we as a society have come to fear holding ourselves and others responsible to a higher standard.

At this point, im paying to get this ridiculousness out into the open.However, I will now say with absolute conviction, that if Baltimore chases people who are honest (and apparently good dressers) away, who dont have sob stories, and keeps those that do, they are literally curating a society of people who dont have their act together, and driving away people that do.

Some issues a broker may consider to your wholesaling:Perception of the public, perception of the property owner.Dealing for yourself doesn't relieve you of Laws of Agency, facilitating a sale, are not escaped by saying you are dealing on your own behalf.

We live in a litigious society.
