If you show someone that you are trustworthy by, say, being the volunteer who always shows up or by executing a leadership role in an organization very well, then that trust will spill over into your other activities.

Hopefully this won't get swept under the rug, and leadership will focus on addressing important issues like this to make the city better. 

I began reading books about business, leadership, and investing and decided real estate was a field I wanted to get into.

Well Hi :)Subject Line pretty much says it all.I got my start in the military, received a lot of exceptional training in leadership and business suave.

After graduating from UNT with my Master's in Ed Leadership, I decided real estate was my next chapter!

Because I've grown to HATE corporate life.I currently work as a project manager for a dysfunctional technology company with a toxic culture and terrible leadership.

For some tips on discussing deals w/investors, you can review some podcast interviews I've done on my website under thought leadership or on my Bigger Pockets profile page.  

Fast forward, I've worked in the private sector all my life and various leadership roles. 

It's also leadership and relationships that you learn through fire.

So many positives come from it including leadership development and access to great speakers.
