Here are a few quick lessons I learned:1.

This was a harsh lesson, but a valuable one.

Find something of value you can provide them, if you can't find anything ask them what they hate doing and offer to do it for free, in exchange for working with them on a deal/seeing their process start to finish.Last option is to just jump in, lots of research is great but sometimes the best lessons are learned from simply going through the process.

I really like west New York, very close to the city. if your place is close to blvd east, it would only take 20mins or less on bus to get to port authority.  

Lots of lessons learned on this one but in the end a success!

The only good I can take from that is this may be a lesson for others, who need to do the same.

They will learn so many invaluable lessons being part of your process and your business. 

Thank you Thomas for your input, I am absolutely getting invaluable lessons from y'all's responses.Regards,

I'd recommend that you take the loss and look at it as lesson learned.

It doesn't matter how reputable the Sponsor seems or how many times you've seen them on FOX, CNN or whatever other channel they appear.Tough lessons and my sympathies are with the folks who've lost their money.
