I first wanted to say thank you to all those people who wished me a Happy Birthday this past weekend. It was incredible to see the 40+ wishes on Facebook that I got, considering I only got a handful last year. I must have been a nicer person this time around..haha! Thanks everyone, you made my day.

Coaching Review: Assignment #1
For those that haven’t been following, last week I was enrolled in Jon Zorrer’s real estate investing coaching program and mastermind group.

How to Actually Network? Answered!
This week has been a banner week for me in terms of networking. I usually do most of my networking on the computer, which is fine and all but it really doesn’t have the same affect as shaking someone’s hand and sitting down with them for a few minutes to talk.
