My goal is to use it to my advantage and move forward in building a great team among all who want or are taking ownership of their futures.I currently work 4 jobs; in advertising for a large retailer here in Texas, I run my own sole prop cleaning company for commercial and apartments, a small time side gig as a janitor ( I can relate to Brandon with the whole toilet situation), and on my spare time I do personal training.

Would require building out a new team in a new market. 

Building a local team is important, always happy to assist.

We are thinking about adding a few more agents on our team since we have too many leads and not enough people to nurture them.

I’ll take Hilton and Marriott’s or any other resort management team over that, where they can actually benefit me down the road at one of their 1000’s of locations.

If you go this route, I'd do the homework on managing brokers and their teams and find a good mentor who owns their own properties. 

My team and our individual IRAs would not be employed for the business. 

Thank you for sharing your lesson...That makes this group stronger!
