That being said, maybe being in business for yourself, such as in real estate, might be something that is appropriate for you.

I am relatively new to the WLO process but understand (especially as I am abroad) that a team is the cornerstone for getting deals done.Therefore, I am looking for a joint venture to assist me in the mentioned process, as there are limits to my knowledge and ability to process the appropriate paper work.If you are or know of any suitable individuals, please feel free to leave a comment or private message me.Regards,Rachel
