most of my guilt about this was about the fact that they've known each other for 7 years and i just felt like their entire "friendship" (from what i've seen) is a total ing farce. he just kept him around for business but now THAT'S not even panning out the way it should be.
it's not like we're biting off the hand that feeds us or whatever they say lol |

fine.
but instead of completely cutting the guy off, wouldn't the smart business man play it cool, do his own thing while keeping things copacetic in case contracts ever run low and buddy boy could throw a bone his way??
just saying.
i do business with tons of people that i think are idiots and that make my job harder by being idiots. That being said, i don't say you, i do enough to keep me on their radar (and nothing more) so that when the day comes that i can cash in from something that relationship has to offer i can.
You are going to be in real estate. You are going to learn quickly the "buyers are liars" mentality. Some people will make you work harder than you really have to without actually giving you any money. You still put a smile on your face and work them, because eventually it might pay off. Even if it doesnt your resourcefulness could lead to getting a few contacts from them and turning a seeming turd into something you can profit with.
If you just tell yourself " these s are making me work and i dončt see the light at the end of the tunnel this ." , you not only lost valuable time and money by giving up, but you lost possible opportunity by simply taking everything from them that could lead to an eventual paycheck.
i'm not even arguing anymore here, as if you are going to be serious about real estate (which is funny because you chuckled at my being in sales which is essential the same thing;) )you are going to realize this very quickly, or you are going to end up like the other 80% of people that train to work in real estate (or any sales) that either just scrape by or fail at it. |

| Eh w/e don't worry about it. As many people have said, it's Pat's decision at the end of the day. Just cause you helped open his eyes, doesn't make you Lady MacBeth. ;) |

jay lol i ing know ok? i haven't always been a jobless housewife:p i used to ing support myself and live on my own and work 9-5 and deal with s around me on a daily basis.
pat isn't burning any bridges at all. in fact, he's being sort of two-faced with the roommmate and , he's playing his cards right, i trust him now that i see what's going on and we talked. he wants to make sure they are both cool with him and there will probably still be some opportunity down the road where needs pat for something and he's not by any means going to tell him to off. |

Yeah but you aren't running your OWN business. And I'm pretty sure integrity and self respect aren't at the top of your list priorities, lol. |

| so it seems you got this guy pretty figured out, your boyfriend does great and does not need him or his annoyance...so, no reason to feel guilty if he s off right? problem solved. |

a person who works for sales might work for a corporation, but a salesman is always his own business in a sense as it is not a task oriented job. (it is but i mean in the sense that you run your own show how you see fit, and if you don't bring in that money for daddy (company) you are out of a job).
it is the first thing they teach you in any business seminar. No matter who you work for, commission based work makes you your own boss via your performance and attaining objectives.
i post all day on the internet and no one says for example. why? because at the end i'm bringing in what i am supposed to;) |

| and honestly jay, the whole part about working for others and meeting their needs without necessarily getting paid for it every time is one of the beautiful reasons why i know i'll be successful in that industry. because i'm a schmuck who actually really likes helping others and i don't always expect something in return lol i know i'll have a great reputation in real estate. 100% confident in that. |
