If you don't want to spill your personal assessments in public you can speak in the third person as to how others might make some self assessment.Know thy self certainly is a beginning point in business.Most of my RE activities when I began were basically as a supplemental income matter, the motivation was probably greed, I just wanted the money and my involvement was rather casual.
