This is an idea stolen from El Diablo's forum, it worked well
there and also in
BBV4L.
Many young posters here are often unsure what career path they want to take, so if you have/had a job in the finance or investment industry or anything realated, we'd like to hear about it.
What do you do? Do you like it? What makes you in particular well-suited or poorly-suited for your work? What kind of people do best in your work? What qualifications are necessary for people considering work in the same field as you? What is a typical day like? What kind of problems do you encounter? What are the biggest (most common) sources of frustration and elation? How much do you make? How much can one expect to make in your position? How old are you and what is your education level (from what school)? How long have you been in the workforce?
Feel free to ignore any questions that you don't want to answer.

1) I solve people's Real Estate problems.
2) I love doing what I do.
3) I do what I do well because I do whatever it takes to learn as much as I can from the people that are doing it the best.
4) The kind of people that do best in my work:
-Intense burning desire to accomplish their dreams in life.
-Never give up
-Smart as well as Hard headed.
-People that are so determined to accomplish their goals that they do whatever it takes.
5) Qualifications: Intense burning desire to learn as well as a burning desire to accomplish their life mission, whatever it may be. That is all I need from someone to train them to become real estate assassins.
6) Typical day:
- Wake up, read real estate articles, read a variety of the 3-4 books I am reading now.
- Go to computer, check email for leads.
- Go to distressed homeowner's home and make a deal.
- Do whatever I have to do to facilitate a smooth deal.
- Read some more
- Listen to a few hours of the thousands of hours of real estate audios I have.
7) I don't believe in problems. The challenges I face daily are the challenges an entrepreneur faces daily. Mainly how to spend my time in the most productive way possible. Also, every single real estate deal is a challenge.
8) biggest sources of frustration is having to deal with the "naysers" and "dream stealers". The types that have been telling me "it is impossible" since the day I was born are the biggest sources of frustration, because it comes from some of the people I love the most.
Another source of challenges I face is pinpointing that perfect deal out of the hundreds of leads I look at. It's a numbers game to find the great deal but that means I have to kiss a lot of frogs.
9) I won't answer how much I make.
10) How much someone makes in this business is how much they decide they want to make. There really is no limit.
That is as much information that I will divulge about me.
