I make weekly training videos for my agents and offer in person training weekly if anyone wants it but I tell everyone, I can teach you everything I know but I can't make you pick up the phone, I can't make you have the willpower to close out a deal.

its a locals game  its a JOB nothing more nothing less. and if you can scale it thats greatbut you need to be in the trenchs@Ashley Hamilton  congrats  I remember when houses were 1k in Detroit.. took some will power and local knowledge but your the exact person that makes this work some one from out of area.. not so much is my experience. 

The town just doesn't have the political willpower to clean up the city and deal with homelessness, crime, and deteriorating buildings/homes.

If you get this right you will power charge your later steps. 5.

But, it all depends how creative you are and how much WILL power you have to succeed.  

It really comes down to personal preference, but at the end of the day your taking a risk with RE either way so if you have the time and will power id say Brrrr, unless your hard-pressed for cash.

It took all my willpower to not to skip ahead to the last page as i didnt want to ruin the happy ending... damn damn damn i cant believe i went through all that and got no results...

They simply don't make enough money, whether that's from child care challenges, lack of education, living arrangements, Section 8 and other safety-net golden handcuffs, lack of willpower, etc.

Make sure you know yourself and can ensure you have the will power to not overspend with it.

Don that is a very tragic event I am sure he has not dealt with fully if he has turned to drugs.You can't just stop doing something.You have to replace it with something else to fill the space.WHITE KNUCKLING and WILL POWER will eventually only lead to failure.My mom worked for years and years at a violence center for women and dealt with people that had issues.You can guide them and try to show the way but at the end of the day it is their choice to want to live or die.Just take in every moment your son is present and in the moment with you and try to cherish those memories.Right now your main goal is to protect the innocent children and take away any bad modeling behavior they are witnessing that can impact them for life.When you kick a habit you have to do something else.Example: Smoking - Bike Riding,Drinking- going to church,drugs-exercise etc.Everyone has stress in their lives and that will never change.As we get older the stress does not go away it just transforms into something else.You might used to have worried about money,then it's your kids,then it's old age,mortality etc.Until your son sees a counselor to deal with these issues and learn coping skills he is going to medicate himself to not feel anything.The first few sessions of therapy is just small talk.The real work begins later on and either people commit and dig in to work on issues or say "Oh I am fine now and get scared and run away".Many people go to their pastor but I feel they are not qualified as a drug abuse specialist or a licensed therapist to help them with situations like that.Don you don't control your son but YOU DO control how you react to what he does and how it impacts your life and family.Maybe you feel guilty for him seeing his mom go through that and enabled him out of guilt to make yourself feel better in the moment.All you can do everyday is work on yourself.If you do that you can have a positive impact on him that can do nothing but help.
