Hosting Events to Give Back & Grow Your Real Estate Business – with Dan Baltzer - EP06

“If you live in the world with an open palm … the universe can put more in. If you live with a closed fist, and you’re scared, and there’s limited resources—I can’t put any more into a closed fist, can I? An open palm, I can place more in. If you approach everything like that, it’s amazing what happens.” Hosting events helps real estate professionals stay in front of their sphere and build a brand in the community.
