I even tell them to reach out to me if they have questions, knowing only a few will actually follow through.And that’s what sets high performers apart from the rest: taking action when most people hold back.If you’re just starting out, remember, one conversation could change everything.

maybe only be extra $40,000 to build open loft... and I would guess I could possibly charge $2000/mo rent, not sure>>***I was kinda crunching numbers...if I'm estimating it correctly it will take me over 4.5 to 6.5 years in excess rent to make up the cost of building the private loft.....does that seem worth the extra loft cost?
