Formal education is important,however, if you don't put it into practice, you do not develop skills. Describe the benefits of working with others It is a great pleasure for me to work with other people to share ideas and to brainstorm for new ones. Working with others harmoniously shows that you are a team player and have respect for one another and ask for help when needed. Describe the benefits of working alone Working alone is also great. I have worked alone as a freelancer in real estate and found it rewarding because I am a self starter and persistent and went after the business. I did not wait for the business to come to me.

The Golden Rule of business and life! What unique skills do you have? The unique and important skill that I have is to truly listen to people and really hear what they are asking or saying. I find that people really sense it when you are paying attention to them as if they were the only thing that mattered. With this skill I find people trust me and open up to me so that we can share experiences and if asked then I can help them. What would you consider as your 'dream job'? My "dream job" is to help people reach their full potential, by hearing what they are saying and find ways to enable that process in any field of business and dream part is to do all that in a beautiful setting.
