Favorite Piece of Advice

One of my favorite pieces of advice to give is: never be afraid to say no, because everyone can’t go. Whether in business, real estate, or life, not every opportunity or relationship is meant for you. Protecting your time, energy, and vision allows you to focus on the right deals, the right people, and the right path forward.
