It doesn't hurt to have such a outrageous, tell it like it is personality. I love it and that's one of the reasons I'm still hanging out with you. I have known alot of these things for so long. I'm the one who who takes the opposite road of the majority. Finally someone I can relate to. So thanks for all your emails and pearls of wisdom. I read it over and over until I get it. I'm going to go off with this. I'm a past studio owner and now doing the home training thing. It's a whole different animal but I'm excited to put some of your techniques to the test.

I once spent 4 days on the county appraiser web site, to build my "target marketing list" ... 4,000 pieces with only 3 solid leads. What a waste. I can't wait to bring your tips to reality for us.
