A successful relationship is where both parties feed ideas off of each other and have mutual respect for each other to achieve and agreed upon common goal.If a potential client sees you as a necessary evil or worthless then let them do it themselves if you are not a valued and respected component to the transaction.Just like investors demand quality properties to buy a broker/agent should demand and screen for quality clients to work with.To make this demand however you have to make yourself valuable.

Interesting question...I think there are three main components that are required;Knowledge of or the afforded presumption of knowledge of the ability to manifest a desired outcome.A desire to communicate ones knowledge.A participant willing to receive that knowledge.Almost sounds like the components required of a mentor mentee relationship.Most get caught up negatively labeling the Guru status due to the hype factor and dream factor of both participants.Two components that when put together by unscrupulous individuals can cause disaster.There are some very good Gurus out there and then there are some that aren't so great.
