Build your networkDepending on your goals, you'll need a network of professionals who can help your business.

@Caleb Heimsoth $1000 referral fee may be needed for a professional but I bet most people you meet in the street or the garage or at the open house  or the guy at a construction site will be thrilled with $500.
