Henry:Additionally, once you sit in these seats, the people who find themselves within the room, they’re going to make assumptions, individuals naturally make assumptions about individuals, and so they assume that the people who find themselves in these energy seats are the people who find themselves doing offers, movers and shakers, individuals they should meet. And so extra individuals will naturally come and discuss to you, and provide help to construct relationships. And so that you sort of take the onerous half out of networking, which is for lots of people simply going up and having conversations with individuals, and now you’ve put your self ready the place individuals are going to wish to come up and have conversations with you.

Ashley:My title is Ashley Kehr, and I’m right here with my co-host Tony Robinson.

Tony:And welcome to the Actual Property Rookie Podcast, the place each week, twice every week, we’ll convey you the inspiration, info, and motivation it’s essential to kick out your investing journey. And I wish to kick off at the moment’s episode by studying one in every of our latest evaluations. This one says, “If I may give this present 10 stars, I might. This podcast has helped me a lot about investing in actual property, I really helpful because it hear for each skilled and new traders.” So we admire that suggestions. And when you’re listening to this podcast, and also you haven’t left us a overview but, ask your self, “What are you doing?” The extra evaluations we get, the extra of us we can assist, and that’s our objective right here on the present. So Ashley Kehr, what’s up? What’s happening in your world at the moment?

Ashley:Nicely, as most of you listening know, the most effective convention of the yr is developing, and it’s BPCON in sunny San Diego. So we thought we’d use this Rookie Reply to sort of prep you guys if you’re headed to BPCON, make the most effective of it, or when you’re going to any sort of meetup, or networking occasion. So we introduced in Henry Washington to sort of assist us focus on, what’s the easiest way to community and reap the benefits of the chance you’ll have going to BPCON, and assembly all of those actual property traders and like-minded people? Henry, welcome to the present.

Henry:Thanks for having me, that is tremendous cool. I used to be saying, I really feel like I do know you guys, like we’ve all met and been mates earlier than. You guys put out phenomenal content material, so thanks a lot for what you do.

Tony:Thanks, brother. Respect that, man. Excited to have you ever on.

Henry:Thanks.

Ashley:Okay, so actual fast, why don’t you simply inform everybody a little bit bit about your self, and who you’re?

Henry:Yeah, Henry Washington. Let’s see, I began doing this actual property factor again in 2017, I purchased my first rental property. The objective was to purchase one home a yr for the following 5 years, and I didn’t know what I didn’t know. After I purchased that first one I used to be like, “Wait a minute, that is far more highly effective than I assumed, and we have to revisit these targets.” So we ended up doing about 5 offers in our first yr, and now we’re sitting at about 80 doorways, and we flip about 10 homes a yr, in order that’s me from an actual property funding perspective.A part of that journey was I began a social media, as a result of I felt after I did that first deal, and I truly noticed how highly effective it was, that first deal modified my life. And I felt like this overwhelming duty, that I wanted to share this info with as many individuals as doable, I couldn’t be the one person who was struggling financially earlier than making this sort of a choice to start out investing in actual property. And that has led me to all this craziness, of now I get a chance to work with BiggerPockets, and produce content material for BiggerPockets, and it’s simply been this wonderful journey. However all of that actually got here to be as a result of I went to the BP Convention in 2019 in Nashville, that’s actually the place all of this began. So I’m excited to be right here in your present speaking about it, it’s a full circle factor for me.

Ashley:Nicely Henry, initially I’ve to say you’re a means higher individual than me, as a result of the rationale I began my Instagram account was as a result of I needed to be a visitor on David and Brandon’s actual property podcast.

Henry:Nicely, it labored out.

Ashley:So Henry, BPCON 2019, that was undoubtedly an superior occasion. I used to be there, Tony was not cool sufficient to be there, however he was there final yr, shall be there this yr. So let’s speak about, what are a number of the issues you have to be doing to organize your self for going to a convention or a meetup?

Henry:Yeah, I feel it is a nice query. It’s one which’s come up lots just lately, so I really feel that’s for good motive. Networking occasions are enjoyable, they’re tremendous enjoyable, and a variety of the worth that you simply’re going to get out of a networking occasion truly doesn’t come from the content material that’s being taught or shared, it comes from what you’re in a position to construct together with your like-minded entrepreneurs there which can be on the convention. And so for individuals like me, who I’m a pure extrovert, it’s thrilling, I sit up for it. However not everyone’s like me, you’ve obtained individuals which can be introverts, and the considered simply being in a room full of people that wish to discuss to them is extraordinarily terrifying. And so what I’ve discovered with networking occasions usually, not simply with conferences, is you’ve obtained to be ready to get out of it what you wish to get out of it.So don’t have an expectation that BiggerPockets goes to show you all of this stuff, and that’s what you’re going to get out of it, have an expectation that you simply’re going to go take from that convention the issues that you simply wish to take from that convention. And generally that includes you being strategic. And I might say introvert or not introvert, once you’re at a networking occasion social norms are sort of in place, and there are issues like energy seats. Energy seats exist. And so after I went to that first convention in 2019 I hadn’t executed it earlier than, it was truly my first legit convention I had ever been to on any matter. And I didn’t know what to anticipate, and so I advised myself, “Nicely I’ve obtained to get out of it essentially the most that I can. And the easiest way I can do that’s to go make it possible for after I stroll right into a room, I stroll right into a room with confidence, and I am going and I sit within the energy seats, and I sit entrance and middle, in order that I can get essentially the most out of regardless of the speaker is saying.”And what I realized by doing that, is once you sit in these energy seats, the individuals which can be round you sometimes even have that very same mindset. So that they’re both movers and shakers inside the trade, or they’re folks that wish to get essentially the most out of their expertise. And when you place your self in these seats everytime you stroll into the principle periods, the breakout periods, the individuals you’re naturally going to have conversations with are individuals in that very same mindset. And how will you discover a higher accountability companion than one who’s already taken the accountability on themselves, to take a seat the place they will get essentially the most worth out of no matter matter is being taught?So when you’re intentional about simply saying, “Look, I do know peopling isn’t one thing I’m nice at, so let me make it simpler on myself and go sit by the individuals who I really feel I may benefit essentially the most from.” You’re sort of giving your self a leg-up from that perspective. Additionally, once you sit in these seats, the people who find themselves within the room, they’re going to make assumptions, individuals naturally make assumptions about individuals, and so they assume that the people who find themselves in these energy seats are the people who find themselves doing offers, movers and shakers, individuals they should meet. And so extra individuals will naturally come and discuss to you, and provide help to construct relationships. And so that you sort of take the onerous half out of networking, which is for lots of people simply going up and having conversations with individuals, and now you’ve put your self ready the place individuals are going to wish to come up and have conversations with you.

Ashley:Henry, I’m very a lot an extrovert. I sit right here and I blab to Tony all day lengthy, however I’m behind a display screen, it’s not in individual. However for me, going to a convention, and even worse being one-on-one with somebody I don’t actually know in that awkward silence, and never realizing what to say. If any individual else can also be an extrovert, or they’re not very conversational, and simply can’t hold the dialog going, will probably be awkward silence, as a result of I’ll simply be racking my mind, what can I speak about? And nothing will ever come out. So one factor that helped me after I began going to meetups, is I might discover any individual on-line that was going, and I might comply with them, I might ship them a message, and say, “Hey, I noticed your attending.” As a result of even on the BiggerPockets boards for meetups, you may see individuals who say they’re going to attend the occasion, you may message them, and I might make that one connection.They usually’d have a profile image, no matter, and visually, after I went to that meetup, I might search for that one individual, and I might discover them first. And it’s like, “Okay, not less than I do know I’m in the proper place as a result of that individual is right here too.” As a result of that’s occurred to me earlier than, the place I went to the unsuitable location. However I feel having that one individual that you simply’ve already sort of constructed the tiniest reference to can actually provide help to ease into, what’s happening? And if it’s another person that it’s their first time too, it’s like, “Okay, we’re each new right here, we each don’t know anybody, let’s go and make mates and community collectively.” And I feel that has actually helped me lots. However you talked about right here accountability companions, are you able to sort of increase on that a little bit bit extra, and possibly inform everybody what they’re if somebody doesn’t know?

Henry:Yeah, completely. An accountability companion is strictly what it feels like, it’s somebody who you identify a friendship, relationship, working relationship with, who has agreed to assist maintain you accountable and vice versa. So when you will have an accountability companion, it’s with the ability to have somebody who you may share your targets with, after which have that individual and also you be the identical for them, maintain them accountable to taking the actions which can be going that can assist you get to these targets. Conferences are nice, and so they’re going to provide the convention excessive, it’s superior. You’re going to really feel like you may conquer the world after day one at a convention, day two at a convention, after which you will have the convention low, since you obtained to get again and apply these issues. And having and establishing an accountability companion to be that one that you may join with on a weekly, biweekly, month-to-month, no matter you are feeling like is comfy foundation as a way to assist maintain you accountable is large.I don’t know what number of occasions I’ve gone to a convention and obtained one million nice nuggets and wrote them down, after which didn’t execute on them after I obtained again. And having that accountability companion, the place you may meet up just about, in individual’s nice, however just about works too. The place you may meet up just about, and say, “Hey, that is what I obtained out of the convention, and these are the issues that I wish to concentrate on popping out of that convention.” After which setting a while based mostly pointers round these little issues that you simply wish to accomplish in what you are promoting, after which having that accountability companion simply maintain you accountable to them, following up with you on a reoccurring foundation to see the place you’re with them is tremendous useful to serving to you get essentially the most worth you may out of an occasion like this.

Tony:Yeah. Henry, I wish to ask you a query, Ashley, I wish to ask you this as effectively. If you first made the choice to put money into actual property, how many individuals in your closed circle had been already investing in actual property?

Henry:Zero.

Tony:Zero. Ashley, what about you? If you first made that call, how many individuals?

Ashley:I used to be a property supervisor, however I solely knew the investor that I labored for. But it surely was extra his brother that had obtained him into it, and he was simply sort of coasting together with what he had. So he actually didn’t even have that a lot information, it was a second revenue, he had one other foremost enterprise he targeted on. But it surely was two and a half years till I discovered BiggerPockets, and after I discovered BiggerPockets I tripled my portfolio in a yr, simply from discovering individuals within the boards.

Tony:And that’s the worth. And I’m asking the query as a result of I assumed I knew the reply for each of you guys, and it was the identical for me, after I made that call to put money into actual property there have been zero individuals in my closed circle that had been additionally investing in actual property. And I wish to tie this again to the accountability companion piece, as a result of it’s really easy once you’re first beginning to get discouraged, to get off monitor, to lose self-discipline, to lose focus, particularly if everybody else in your circle is telling you, “Don’t fear about studying that ebook, let’s go seize a beer. Let’s not do that, let’s go do that different factor.”And it’s straightforward to get caught up in what’s regular, so you need to discover different individuals which can be mentally in sync with the targets that you’ve got, as a result of when push involves shove you need somebody that’s going to drag you again in the direction of your targets, and never somebody that’s going to drag you additional away. So after we discuss in regards to the accountability companion, what are some issues that possibly individuals must be on the lookout for on this individual to assist make it possible for there’s a very good match? After which I assume as a secondary query, as soon as you discover the individual that sort of meets that standards that you simply’re on the lookout for, how do you begin that relationship? Are you sending a textual content like, “Hey, you wish to be my accountability companion?”

Ashley:You slide into their DMs.

Henry:“Do you want me?” Completely, no, that’s an outstanding query. So what to search for, I’d be mendacity to you if I advised you I knew precisely what I needed to search for in an accountability companion, and even that I used to be going to seek out an accountability companion on the 2019 BiggerPockets Convention. However now that I’ve labored with accountability companions, I can let you know what’s labored effectively, and what hasn’t labored effectively. I’m a intestine really feel sort of individual, and so after I’m at these conferences and also you’re networking with any individual, you may inform by means of dialog if any individual feels real in how they communicate to you, if any individual feels real of their eagerness or their willingness to be supportive and useful of you, and also you’re going to inform when somebody can’t.And in order you’re networking with individuals, one of many issues that I love to do after I’m networking with individuals, is I wish to hear, or hear for, and even simply go as far as to ask for, “What’s the factor that you simply want most in what you are promoting proper now? What’s the factor that’s holding you again from attending to the place you wish to go?”Attempting to grasp individuals’s ache factors, not as a result of I wish to know what’s failing for them so I can do higher, however I wish to understand how I may be of service to individuals. And if they are saying one thing, the place I really feel like I’d know somebody who can assist them, or I may need a device that may assist them, or I may need a advice for a device that may assist them, or in any means I may be of service to that want, I need to have the ability to try this, and do it shortly, and supply worth to individuals. And when you can present worth to individuals, particularly with out them having to ask you, and your focus is on, what can I do for the individual throughout from me? Greater than it’s on, what can I get out of this expertise? You’re going to naturally be pulled within the course of people who find themselves comparable, and people are the folks that it’s best to construct a relationship with, as a result of that relationship is constructed based mostly on you guys being of service to one another.And so I say, the easiest way to get a factor that you really want is to provide it freely. And so in order for you assist in a sure space, be of service to individuals. And when you may be of service to individuals, you’re naturally going to be drawn… And the individuals are going to wish to provide help to. And so when you can simply hold that in thoughts as you’re having conversations with individuals, simply belief that intestine feeling, that this individual appears real, this individual has a portfolio that’s much like mine. Perhaps they’re investing in a market that’s much like yours, you wish to search for some similarities, since you need to have the ability to relate on some stage on what you’re doing.If any individual is investing in trailer parks, and also you’re investing in single-family leases, they will in all probability maintain you accountable, however with the ability to present recommendation that interprets will not be as straightforward. So search for some similarities, look for those who you are feeling are genuinely interested by serving to you, and the easiest way to do this is to be genuinely interested by serving to them. After which the opposite factor to consider, is it’s virtually a enterprise partnership or a wedding, you need to have the ability to work with individuals who aren’t afraid to let you know what it’s essential to hear, who aren’t afraid to let you know, “No.” Who provides you with trustworthy suggestions. And all of us need to be self-aware sufficient to have the ability to create an setting the place somebody feels secure sufficient to be open and trustworthy with you.And I feel that that was one of many actually cool useful components of the accountability group that we shaped, is none of us had an issue saying, “Hey bud, you stated you needed to do X, Y, and Z, however your actions over the previous two weeks haven’t appeared like they’re according to that. Do we have to reevaluate your targets? Is there one thing else happening in your life that we can assist you with or speak about?” However with the ability to have an trustworthy and open communication with you, as a result of when you simply discover an accountability companion who’s going to be a sure man, and say, “Nicely, I imply, I do know you needed to purchase 20 doorways this yr, and also you didn’t make any provides this week. And I do know life will get powerful, and also you simply obtained busy, so we’ll strive once more subsequent week.” That’s in all probability not the accountability companion for you, so these are some qualities I’d search for in individuals.

Tony:Henry, you introduced up a variety of actually good factors, and one which I simply wish to echo, is you stated, “Search for individuals with some similarities.” And after I consider that, I consider the phrase parity, you need what you are promoting or your place in life to be considerably much like this individual, and their enterprise, and the place they’re at of their investing journey.Ash and I had a mastermind that lasted for possibly six months final yr, and as we put that mastermind collectively, one of many issues we stated is that the perimeters of the enterprise of every individual needs to be in an honest vary of each other. As a result of clearly I might love if Grant Cardone was my accountability companion, however it’s such as you stated, how a lot worth can I give to Grant Cardone? That will simply be virtually a one-sided relationship, the place I’m simply asking him all of those questions. So it’s tremendous useful for me, in all probability not tremendous useful for him. And similar for Ashley, and I, and also you Henry as effectively, if somebody who has zero offers, it could be tremendous useful if we had been their accountability companion, however then it simply turns into a one one-sided relationship for us. So I feel on the lookout for parity once you’re looking for that individual is tremendous vital.

Ashley:Yeah. Tony, I feel it’s best to point out the standards we truly set, as a result of it was tremendous particular.

Tony:I truthfully don’t even keep in mind.

Ashley:I keep in mind, I’ll do it. So first we did a variety of how a lot cash you had made the earlier yr simply out of your funding property. So we needed somebody who was in the identical vary of what they’d profited off of their investments, so it wasn’t any individual simply beginning out, or it wasn’t any individual who was already making mega hundreds of thousands off of their investments. We needed somebody sort of in the identical place that we had been.After which additionally they needed to be content material creators too, so that they needed to do actual property investing and be content material creators not directly or type. So we had a pair individuals who had been actually large on YouTube, had a podcast, issues like that. So these had been the 2 strict standards that we set. After which additionally they had been promoting a content material piece not directly, so a few us had been writing books, a pair had on-line programs, or issues like that. We’ve the BiggerPockets Bootcamps, and issues like that. So there was standards that we set, after which we made a listing of, who’re individuals we all know? And all of them had been truly company that had been on the podcast, let’s attain out to them. Then we reached out individually to them to see in the event that they had been , and all of them stated, “Sure.”

Henry:These are phenomenal factors. And I wish to simply level out for those who it’s not such as you’re setting this standards, otherwise you’re on the lookout for any individual comparable as a way to have this unique membership, it’s not that sort of a factor. When you will have a number of individuals in a room, or just about in a room, who’ve comparable companies, you’ve in all probability all approached it in another way, and also you in all probability all have completely different finest practices. However once you’re all in that very same world, that very same setting, if Tony says one thing that he’s doing in his enterprise, or he hears an issue that I’m having in my enterprise, and he can say, “Hey, we’re doing A, B, and C.” The benefit of implementation for me is a complete lot simpler, as a result of I’ve a really comparable enterprise. And so the trajectory of progress generally is a lot increased, as a result of I can implement sooner, as a result of I’m in a gaggle of individuals with comparable dimension companies.If Grant Cardone is available in and tells me I ought to do A, B, and C as a substitute of X, Y, and Z, and it requires me to rent a workers of fifty individuals, I’m not there but. But when Tony and I’ve comparable portfolios, and he’s like, “Hey bud, I heard you’re approaching A, B, and C with X, Y, and Z, why don’t you strive one, two, and three as a substitute?” I am going, “Oh, I obtained a one, two, and three proper right here. Yeah, I’ll put that in place.” It makes your progress path a lot simpler, since you in all probability have already got all of the items someplace near you, and simply having that like-minded individual with an identical enterprise can actually provide help to develop a complete lot sooner.

Ashley:And I wish to point out too, as a result of I feel this is a crucial piece to that mastermind that Tony and I put collectively, was it was free, so it wasn’t this large deliberate out paid factor, no matter. So that you proper now listening, you can do the very same factor that we did, is have a look at the individuals that you simply suppose… As a substitute of ready for any individual to slip into your DMs, go and begin your individual, and have it free. And we set the dedication of six months, so six months we had been executed with the mastermind, it was simply you needed to make that point dedication. So I feel that’s one thing you guys ought to take away too, is don’t await different individuals to community with you, ensure you’re going out, and also you’re making connections, and also you’re offering worth. The primary ever mastermind I used to be in was from Instagram, the place any individual simply despatched 10 of us I feel a direct message, and stated, “Hey, I wish to begin a mastermind as soon as a month, do a digital name, who desires to affix it?” And that was it, so everyone begin your individual little accountability teams.

Henry:It’s wonderful.

Tony:Nicely, that leads me into my subsequent query, Ashley, you stated to start out the group. So Henry, what’s your advice? So you discover somebody, you bought a very good vibe with them, how do you truly get the connection arrange so that you simply guys are holding one another accountable?

Ashley:How do you ask them on the primary date?

Henry:Yeah, completely. Nicely you simply started working up the nerve and do it, Tony, you simply obtained to do it.

Ashley:You don’t have any decide traces.

Henry:No, I’ve by no means been that cool or suave. So once more, with my group it occurred naturally. So the best way it sort of shaped, was I used to be there early, which additionally was a professional tip, as a result of a number of individuals are available early, and you will get some fairly candy, cool, customized networking in early. I used to be truly in a position to community with Brandon as a result of I obtained there early, he obtained there at day early, and so I used to be in a position to have time to talk with him earlier than everyone confirmed up and he was the extremely superstar standing Brandon, and couldn’t even get round him as a result of there was a crowd. But it surely was tremendous cool, as a result of I used to be in a position to have candid conversations with him as a result of there was no person else there. And so the best way it occurred for us, was I met any individual, we had been there a day early, so we established this sort of relationship, and we simply sort of checked in with one another because the convention was happening.Who did you meet? What was worthwhile to you? We had an identical dimension portfolio in an identical sort of market. And so not solely was I in a position to get worth out of the periods that I went to, however as a result of he went to a session, or he’d met any individual, we had been in a position to sort of say, “Hey, possibly we should always go discuss to this individual due to the similarities in our enterprise.” And so on the finish what we stated was, “Man, it’s been tremendous worthwhile simply networking with one another right here, and sharing sources right here. I’d prefer to proceed this, would you be open to only having a weekly name, test in at some point every week, we’ll speak about our targets, after which we’ll see what we did for the week?” And we had been all in for it. After which we added two different individuals to it, and one of many individuals we didn’t even meet on the BiggerPockets Convention, it was simply an investor buddy of mine who I had heard say he needed to do one thing comparable.And in order that’s how we established it, we simply stated, “Let’s test in as soon as every week, we’ll speak about our targets, and we’ll see what progress we’re making in the direction of our targets, and we’ll simply see the way it goes.” We didn’t even have some formal agenda, this doesn’t need to be this effectively deliberate out, I’ll ship you the agenda earlier than the assembly begins, after which any individual will take minutes, after which they’ll recap the assembly. It doesn’t need to be all that, simply share some targets, hop on a name as soon as every week, as soon as each different week, however be constant about it. And what I preferred about our group is it was greater than two of us, which meant that if any individual needed to miss we nonetheless had sufficient individuals to have a worthwhile name. If it’s simply two individuals and somebody’s sick, or they obtained a sick child, or life occurs, then your name doesn’t occur, and it’s straightforward to fall out of that rhythm. But when there’s greater than two of you, then it’s a little bit simpler to remain on monitor.

Ashley:Henry, is there the rest that you simply wish to add for anybody going to a networking occasion, or for after they go to the convention? One final piece of recommendation.

Henry:Yeah, make the time to do the extracurriculars as effectively. Go to the networking occasions earlier than the talking periods, go to the networking occasions after the talking periods. Not since you wish to go have enjoyable and be across the partiers, however the cash is made by means of the conversations that individuals are having outdoors of these occasions, that’s the place the actual return in your funding comes. And like I stated, for individuals like me, it’s straightforward to wish to try this, I’m an extrovert, however that’s not everyone. So that you’ve obtained to essentially maintain your self accountable to enter these occasions, working up the power. So discover the time to do the issues that it’s essential to do in the course of the convention to decompress, when you’re not an extrovert, if it’s essential to get to the gymnasium at a sure time within the morning, or if it’s essential to simply discover some alone time and meditate. Make time in your schedule to do these issues so you may decompress, so you may have the vitality to go to the issues the place individuals are going to be networking and having conversations.Sit within the energy seat, sit the place individuals are going to be eager to get essentially the most out of that, as a result of these are nice individuals to start out networking with. And don’t be afraid to only go up and have a dialog with anyone. I obtained to have a dialog with Brandon earlier than the convention, and I went as much as him and had a dialog with him, not lengthy after that I used to be on the BP Podcast. Is {that a} coincidence? I don’t know, however it labored out effectively. But when I by no means go and have that dialog, then I’m not sitting right here on this podcast with you guys attending to share my experiences with everyone. And that’s simply one of many advantages that got here from it, that accountability group that I shaped, I doubled my portfolio that yr, and is it a direct results of that accountability group?Perhaps. I obtained a variety of tidbits, and I didn’t wish to present up on a name and be like, “Nicely, I didn’t do something this week guys.” That accountability means one thing, and it labored out effectively for me. So I hope that you simply guys take that severely, and networking is one thing it’s essential to plan for too for some individuals. So plan to be outdoors of your consolation zone, wealth is constructed simply outdoors of your consolation zone, get comfy in uncomfortable conditions. I heard you point out awkward silences, that’s okay guys, it’s okay to have an ungainly silence, no person dies. We’re all actual property traders, we’ve got awkward, uncomfortable conversations on a regular basis with individuals, with sellers, with contractors. We’re okay doing it in that setting, you have to be okay doing it on this setting too.

Ashley:Any longer, Henry, all I’m going to be listening to is your voice inside my head. “No one’s dying.”

Henry:You simply have a look at one another a little bit longer, it’s high quality. Give him a wink awkwardly again at him, and say, “It’s high quality.”

Ashley:Yeah. So the one factor I wish to add to that, Henry, and I feel that’s fantastic recommendation, and that occurred to me final yr on the BiggerPockets Convention. 2:00 AM, pizza parlor, Tyler and [inaudible 00:28:51] cornered me, and simply this dialog we had in 5 minutes was this aha second for me. And simply set off this mild bulb, I used to be like, “Okay, I’m going to do that.”And I feel one factor too, is that if you find yourself on the convention, you’re going to be having so many conversations, you’re going to be studying so many issues from the audio system. That every night time, or someday all through the day, it’s best to sit down and write down what you’ve realized, who you’ve met, and what motion you take from these issues. As a result of once you go away that convention, you’re going to be so pumped up, puffed up, that you simply wish to… “Okay, I’m going to do all this stuff.” After which it’s like, “Wow, there was a variety of issues, the place do I even begin? And what do I even keep in mind?” After which taking time every day, or possibly even twice a day to jot down these issues down, so you may return by means of your notes and be like, “That is after I wish to prioritize. Oh yeah, I forgot about that, I wish to try this.” In order that’s one thing that has actually helped me too going to conferences. Tony, what about you?

Tony:Yeah, I feel only one factor that that everybody ought to acknowledge, is that there’s a standard false impression round extroverts versus introverts. I’m a podcast host, I create content material on social media, YouTube, and folks would possibly have a look at me and suppose that I’m extroverted, as a result of I can get on a stage and discuss in entrance of individuals. However the true definition of introvert versus extrovert, is an extrovert is somebody that will get energized by being in a room full of individuals, whereas an introvert, they get re-energized by being by themselves. And I’m 1000% the latter, I would like that alone time on my own to have the vitality to maintain going.
