Get in the game and do the play...that is what a coach in sports would say.While I work as a mental health counselor I use stress management on myself, LOL; the landing pages are your salespeople where a potential investor can receive everything from you...while building a relationship....this sets you apart as being perceived as either a beginner or a  pro...I became a pro for the "clout" for support from other member (just like you are receiving from little-o-me a quite, reserved man that now has to become aggressive and even hard-nosed since you will receive more of these...np then yeses.

For a beginner, I think , that is a recipe for pain (at least initially). 

I am also a beginner and am not ready to do my first flip just yet.
