The worst Real Estate advice I’ve ever received!

Being in this business for over 17 years, I've been given what I would consider poor advice on more than one occasion.  The absolute worst being one simple sentence...  "Don't become emotionally attached to the outcome".

Now, I can see how this could be considered good advice... maybe even great advice to some, but not for me.

I want it to be personal.  I want... No, I need to be emotionally attached to the outcome.  And if I were the buyer or the seller, I would have a hard time paying someone to represent me that doesn't take it personal.

Obviously there is a fine line there that shouldn't be crossed.  But, at the end of the day - I only hope and pray that a large portion of our industry takes it as "personally" as I do.
