A Great Blog That I Did Not Write

I wish I could take credit for this one. I recently was a guest speaker on my friends Podcast and HE wrote this fantastic LinkedIn blog to detail our interview. I hope you enjoy the podcast and I hope you can appreciate the brilliance in how my friend Michael detailed out this blog on the LinkedIn Plus platform. Enjoy!!!!!

Mike is a LinkedIn evangelist who not only preaches on the power of LinkedIn, but is a living demonstration of the effectiveness of his own strategies.

That's what I love about LinkedIn, is the potential, the opportunity for great connections.

Building a great LinkedIn profile takes probably two hours of really hard work.

It's more about making the connections, nurturing and developing. Not trying to sell anything, for a very long time.

One thing I've come to learn about the real estate industry is, it is constantly changing. 

Always be connecting.

I'm telling you that it works...I've earned a 6 figure income, 4 years in a row, as a salesperson. Because it works.

Do something that says 'I'm not a robot. I am a person'
