Replying to @DanielHerrold
Back when I had a “boss”, he would challenge me before I went to any event and ask me “Rod, what does success look like when you go?” Lesson learned. Whether u r attending for prospects, or building your presence or simply hanging out, have a defined success metric b4 going.

If you want to be successful in Commercial Real Estate you only have to work 1/2 a day - doesn't matter which 12 hours a day you work - you gotta work 12 hours a day.
