Quotes:

[07:10] “Now what happens is all these mortgage reps, they have to sell [but] they don't know what to do…It's the same way with real estate investors…they've got to change us up here first to realize that it's no longer the marketplace that's going to take them through, it's their skills.”
[12:50] “Real estate's no different than any other product or service out there….All we [have] to do [is[ concentrate on the business component…If we build that up, then that allows us to be able to turn more product.”
[30:57] “We can grow during this time (of economic shifts). We can produce more revenue…we just gotta realize that now’s the time to grow up and be business owners—true business owners.”
