All of us have some sort of handicap, even if it's not officially recognized. Maybe we're emotionally tone-deaf, maybe we just can't ever seem to motivate ourselves. One of Marty Nemko's handicaps is a recently acquired one: He developed a hand condition which renders three of his fingers pretty-much useless.
Marty was a pianist and when he developed that condition, he decided, before depression and self-pity took hold, to take on the challenge of learning how to play the piano with just seven fingers.
Parents and grandparents can really help their kids in career planning...and sometimes, in motivating them to get off their butts. (I said sometimes.) Dr. Barbara Nemko and I will kick around our and others' ideas on how to be maximally effective.
Work with Marty Nemko is heard Sundays from 11 am to noon on KALW, 91.7 FM.
A career in real estate is attractive to many people because of low barriers to entry, high potential income, and the pleasure of buying and selling homes.
Alas, the reality isn't that simple today, and especially tomorrow. But I'll talk with a guy who's the savviest and straightest-shooting real estate broker I know: George Mantor. I really think it's going to be a fascinating and helpful interview.
