Ep #2: Get Excited About New Ideas – Get Calm About Problems with Phil Soper
The cool thing about the real estate industry is that you could get in with a little education and make a 6-7 figure income. By being smart about how you learn, grow, and leverage your skills, you can go further than ever. Today Phil Soper, president and CEO of Royal LePage, joins me on the show to share his valuable expertise and veteran advice from many years in sales and the real estate industry.
