I parked my car at the grocery store and noticed this tiny shopping cart with a pole and a sign that read "Customer In Training." As my mind wanders, I started thinking about Newbies in the Real Estate Industry. What if the sign said, New Real Estate Agent in Training. What would you put inside the shopping cart? My imaginary mind filled up the cart and it collapsed and/or exploded before I even stepped outside of my car door. Here's where my mind went in seconds:
