Some more hard mind candy for your brains to suck on.

Good thoughts. Back in the day, as a licensed Real Estate Agent with the GRI designate (my broker made a big deal about me getting it), I came to a similar conclusion that I did with Chattel... although I will from time to time buy and flip a licensed thing (car, RV, boat, etc.) I shy away from licenses. Correct me if I'm wrong, Insurance agents, like loan brokers or realtors need to be licensed? Right? And, of course they need to have affiliations with underwriters, brokers, bankers, realtors, etc. So, although YOU may think all you have is a pen and a piece of paper, the truth is you have SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE and are licensed to use it in your state. But your post reminds me of a topic we did 18 years ago about PEN and PAPER businesses, and you mentioned 3. Gary Halbert sold thousands of would be copywriters on the idea all you needed was a pen and a pad of paper, head to the beach, sip a cold one, and easily make your six figures a year from there. In 50 years, and having known scores of copywriters, including Gary, he is the only one I can name who actually did it. I would argue that most people with specialized knowledge and a license to use it, may get to the APV or Hotsheet set it and forget it, automatic income stage, but setting up an APV can be done in a day, NO license required. A hotsheet can be done in an hour (just did 2 today, both in an hour) and no license or specialized knowledge is required. TIME is a different story altogether, IF one wants to learn, and wants to get licensed, there are dozens of those kind of cats which could be skinned, which begs the question... other than lions, tigers and other big cats, why would anyone skin a kitty, they don't make good coats do they? Cows and Naugas, yes, but kitties, hardly! GordonJ PS. I know a pro lottery player who would say he doesn't even need the pen, both paper and pencils are made available to him, although, he is one in a million, but maybe, so are the top realtors, insurance agents or Wall St. brokers. |
