I am genuinely excited turning beauty from ashes.

If you make it more difficult to weed out the quacks, you will also be hurting those who genuinely need it.

-I genuinely enjoy being part of this industry.

Manipulation like this will cause more problems than you need.My best advice is to become genuinely interested in people, be fair and prompt.Frank

You get to where you can tell if people are genuinely interested in the topic to learn.

When I bring a house back to life that was vacant/abandoned, and you put new paint, update it and you meet the person  that loves it and genuinely needs it-- that brings me happiness.    

But when I joined BP I really appreciated the genuine demeanor and positivity of most members.

Standards are important and I'd never advise anyone to go through with a deal that they genuinely aren't comfortable with, but obsessing and spreadsheeting has killed a lot of deals for beginners that I've seen more experienced Buyers pick up and be excited about, with little-to-no issues. 

If doing something like this will genuinely hinder my ability to get a new business off the ground in the next year or so (which it's starting to sound like it may), I'm just gonna have to suck it up and wait until then.  

I won’t say everyone at that meet up was a saint, there were a few folks doing and saying some things that I wouldn’t, but the vast majority were real genuine people with straightforward intentions and a ton of generosity.
