Courthouse research

Went down to the country courthouse this morning and realized it is not an easy job. Normally I put in about 2-3 hours of research easy, but because they changed locations I was left racing the meter maid.
I got in a good 1.5 hours and accomplished a lot for what I am doing, (located every [...]

Guerrilla marketing

The cards I ordered won’t be getting here until Monday, the 10th. Which means the traditional contact exchange that usually happens at the end of seminars won’t include my business card. Sad right?

Enjoying the seminar thus far

Its always interesting to meet people who share the same field, even if your field is large, but usually a joy when networking with roughly 17-18 other serious note brokers who you probably wouldn’t meet at any other time.
