How Bill Reich Became Part of Our Coaching Team THE RESULTS O Over the last two years, one of our High 6 Associates, Bill Reich, has demonstrated his ability to follow, buy, and sell on terms using our successful and lucrative approach. He has had so much success doing his own deals that we’ve invited him to join our coaching team! We are all so excited to have him aboard. Regarding his experience, Bill explains, “Joining the Smart Real Estate Coach team is ironic because, for years, I always told myself that I never needed a coach or mentor; I was smart enough to figure everything out on my own. As my entire career is earmarked with error after error, I realized that it’s never too late in life to learn important lessons.
IN A PLANT’S DEFENSE
The Interesting Methods They Use to Fight Predators
Many trees and plants are beginning to bloom, which means that they will soon have to ward off various predators. Most animals have a fight-or-flight response when faced with a dangerous situation, but plants can’t run or physically fight the dangers they face on a daily basis. However, what they lack in claws and teeth, they make up for in chemical and mechanical defenses. EXTERNAL DEFENSES Many of us are familiar with thorns, prickles, and spines, which are all examples of a plant’s physical defense. But many other plants’ physical defenses are not as obvious. Trees protect themselves with thick, hard-to-eat bark, which is comprised of a natural polymer called lignin. Leaves are often coated in a natural wax, which deters most insects and pathogens. Some leaves have trichomes, which are sharp, hair-like features that stab or prick insects’ legs as they try to land or walk on its surface. Trichomes often also release toxins that can cause irritation and inflammation. Some plants contain microscopic, sharp crystals that puncture and inject chemicals into an animal’s mouth once they’ve bitten it. INTERNAL DEFENSES When a plant’s external defense fails, its internal protection takes charge. A plant lacks an immune system; instead, each cell is programmed to defend against any foreign object that comes in contact with it. If an insect or disease attacks the plant, the plant will thicken its cell walls with waxy plating, close its leaf pores, and kill off sections of itself to preserve the whole plant. Plants also have unique chemicals that are deadly to insects and microbes, some of which we use today as seasonings, medicine, or drugs. In addition to toxic compounds, plants can release hormones into the air that warn neighboring plants or even attract other insects to kill would-be attackers.
STUDENTS’ C
Being mentors in the real estate business, we always encourage both prospective and existing Associates to ask questions regarding any aspect of buying and selling on terms. Like anything else in life, learning a new trade takes time. Initially, the systems may seem far more complex than they actually are. That’s where our coaches come in. Here’s one of our most frequently asked questions with feedback.
