Just make sure the risk to reward ratios are in sync on all your deals and that way you'll get 1 ripoff out of 10, 4 bombs, 4 decent deals where you at least break even or make something and 1 winner that will make up for the dogs and get you your big returns.

I always preach don't trust, but that's not exactly how I mean it. Its more like don't trust that people have good intentions out of the shoot and just accept that fact that people sometimes exercise bad judgment, make mistakes, slip and slide on you, etc.

Trust yourself as much as possible, and with others hope they'll do what they promise.
I totally agree

There are many good people in this industry I trust. as long as I'm getting out of it what I need I'm happy.

In this industry or any buisness for that matter you have to take Risks there is no room for bugaboo..
