Welcome to another episode of Milestone Moments in Business and Leadership. I'm Sheila Slick,

8
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:58,000
Sheila Slick, your host. And today my special guest is Meghna Agarai. She is CEO and founder of Eagles M.A.L.L.C.

9
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:06,000
She's a global focus connector, a business matcher, author, certified business advisor, and speaker.

10
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,000
Welcome to the show. Thank you for having me, Sheila. So good to see you.

11
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Can you share a pivotal moment that led you to where you are today?

12
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:26,000
Oh, yes. So I was born and raised in Albania and moved to New York City 21 years ago.

13
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:33,760
In 2021, I attended a real estate summit in Florida.

14
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:42,880
And there I met with a lot of business owners, learned a lot about how to invest in real estate,

15
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:49,280
learned a lot of the terminology. And in this three-day conference, I am going back and

16
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:57,680
analyzing and measuring all my accomplishments to date. And I was not happy with the answers

17
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,880
because one thing I've always been good at is being honest with myself. I never lied to myself.

18
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,960
I always say that's criminal because when you lie to yourself and nobody knows about it,

19
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:16,160
that's a recipe for disaster. So I started looking back at all these different accomplishments.

20
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:22,960
And not that I wanted to take away from them, but if every single thing was taken away from me,

21
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:32,160
what was I left with? If I was to get fired, let go from a job, if I were to start all over again,

22
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:40,400
how would I start? And if there's no paycheck coming in, would I still have a roof or not?

23
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:51,120
So I decided how important it was for me to give myself permission to move to a new place.

24
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,360
I decided to give myself permission to move to the next level of being this grown-up woman now

25
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:04,640
and take charge and take life versus life taking me. So that real estate conference really

26
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:12,400
was that moment where I had a lot of disappointments, but at the same time,

27
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:18,000
I knew that I was in the right room because of all of the success stories from all of these

28
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:25,680
years. And I wasn't that, I did not have a business under my name. I did not have a single real estate

29
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:33,120
investment. If I were to quit my job or get fired from a job, I would have no paycheck the next day

30
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:38,800
and I could not leave passively because my money was not working for me. So I realized I was doing

31
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:44,720
everything wrong almost. I know I'm being so hard on myself, but literally I said, if things are

32
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:51,920
going to change, I have to make them happen. So during that conference, I pretty much resigned.

33
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:58,640
I gave my two weeks notice. It was the end of December, 2021. So come January, 2022,

34
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:04,800
it was the first day for the rest of my life as a clueless entrepreneur. I'm like,

35
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,440
I don't know what this looks like. I have no idea what we're doing, but guess what?

36
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:17,360
We're going to try and we're going to find out one day at a time. So that was a moment for me where

37
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:25,760
I decided to start fresh, not necessarily start from experience because I wasn't an entrepreneur

38
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:33,120
before. I always worked for a company, but there was one way to find out. So that was the spark

39
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:45,680
that pretty much got me to give me a shot at being a business owner and so many more things

40
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,760
that I did not know because that's very true. And people say, you don't know what you don't know

41
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,240
until you try. And when you think that you're quitting and you're going to be an entrepreneur,

42
00:04:54,240 --> 00:05:01,200
think again, think again, because so much more is going to happen for you. So for the listener,

43
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:07,360
I am not recommending that you all quit your W-2s, but I truly and highly recommend that you

44
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:14,880
get a piece of paper and start self-assessing your accomplishments to date. And if there is

45
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,840
anything there that you don't like that you can do more of, be more of, listen to your intuition,

46
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:25,840
listen to your inner voice and take action on it because you'd be surprised. So that's what did it

47
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:32,000
for me, Sheila, that self-measurement of what was I doing for 19 years. So yeah.

48
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,080
Well, and that was only your beginning because you have a lot of different roles going on.

49
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:44,880
You've accomplished a lot more than being an entrepreneur. So how do you balance these diverse

50
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,240
roles and what common thread ties them all together?

51
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:55,600
The common thread is a passion. If you don't have passion for life, for love, for people,

52
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,600
nothing will ever be tied together. Like there is no glue that can hold all of these pieces together.

53
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:10,240
There is so much that just a desire can do for things to happen. You need to have passion

54
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:17,840
and you always go back to that point of reminder, that reminder where why is it that I do this?

55
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:24,160
Because sometimes, including me, we question and we are in self-doubt,

56
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,640
wait, am I doing the right thing? Why is it that I'm doing this? But when it comes back to,

57
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:35,600
well, I nominated hundreds of women to be in book collaborations to share their stories.

58
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:43,760
I've been a part of their lives changing and their families' joy. They get to talk at tables.

59
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:51,120
They get to have their families back home, hear these women read their own journeys.

60
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:58,080
And somehow it comes back to point zero, which is Meghanna knocking on their virtual door saying,

61
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,080
hey, I've been part of this initiative. So should you because I'm a woman.

62
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:07,280
I'm saying, hey, I've been part of this initiative. So should you because it changed my life.

63
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:12,560
And I believe it will change yours with me being in my world, being in my network.

64
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:19,200
You don't ever have to wonder how is it to be in a book? I can only imagine. No, with me,

65
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,720
you don't need to imagine because I will tell you exactly how I got there.

66
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:29,520
And now you decide if you want to be a part of it or not. So how everything ties together,

67
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:35,680
it's a passion for people and the reward of changing people's lives and not just their lives,

68
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,080
but the lives of so many because we are inspiring people one person at a time.

69
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:50,960
And as far as managing all the different roles or switching hats, it's a matter of what's urgent,

70
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:58,480
what's priority because I could be the admin of my company every Friday, but sometimes

71
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:04,720
I am traveling on Friday and I wear on the CEO hat and I'm handling all the meetings.

72
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:13,760
So there is no formula for being the best manager out there and having the work life balance because

73
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:22,320
when you are in this world of loving what you're doing, it's never work. It's just a 100%

74
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:30,640
fun. And that's why I don't seek balance and I don't want balance because balance scares me.

75
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:38,160
Balance for me, it's very structured and it removes that element of surprise that I don't

76
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:47,680
welcome in my life because I'm all about, wow, I look forward to getting to know myself better

77
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:52,480
every day through the experiences of being on Sheila's podcast or being on Chatter or

78
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:59,440
or writing another chapter in another book. So it's like I said, it's a matter of what's

79
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:05,840
pressing today. And if we need to put together the 27 chapters because the publisher has a deadline,

80
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:12,160
that's going to take priority because we have deadlines to meet and everything else comes

81
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:20,560
secondary. And some days I work 16 hour days. I am on 10 zooms, 15 zooms. I live on zooms

82
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:26,720
and there are days where I am not on zoom at all. And all I do is do paperwork behind the scenes.

83
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:33,520
And I'm sure many entrepreneurs out there can relate. And I'm also learning how to manage time

84
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:39,600
better. But as far as work life balance, there's no such thing because it's not work for me. It's all

85
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:45,920
it's all passions and goals and visions and missions and whatever it's needed today, we're

86
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,920
going to handle today and whatever can wait until tomorrow, we're going to handle that tomorrow.

87
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:56,320
So we don't skip sleep so we can eat and have time for our friends, have time to be on podcasts and

88
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:02,160
enrich many lives as a result. So yeah, that's how I operate. Maybe it's the wrong thing,

89
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:02,960
but it's my truth.

90
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,920
Well, and you prioritize. So you've got your own system working for you.

91
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:14,560
Yes, yes. For me to get the podcast going, I did a time block because I saw a lot of people using

92
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:21,040
time blocks and that actually worked for me to make sure that I was consistent with the structure.

93
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:27,600
And now I'm incorporating that a bit more and I am you've just inspired me. I'm on the journey of

94
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:35,280
writing a book, my story and trying to find my voice to see, you know, how I'm going to frame it

95
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:41,840
or how I can help others sharing it. And today you've helped me reassure that I just need to

96
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,400
maybe do my own time block and make sure I get that out.

97
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:50,320
Happy to help if you need help because I'm working on group number six collaboration. So

98
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:56,240
I learned a few what not to do things in the process. I can save you a lot of time.

99
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,640
Yes, that would be so appreciated. I'm going to take you up on your offer.

100
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,480
Can you share a recent venture or a project that excites you?

101
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,840
Oh, my God. I have I have a magazine. I'm going to go grab it and be right back.

102
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:17,600
So I've always wanted to participate in a Miss Albania beauty pageant when growing up,

103
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:26,480
I would look up this beautiful women on stages walking the runway and I am like imagining these

104
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:35,120
things. And of course, I was super young when I left my country. Then I moved to the Bronx

105
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:42,960
working three jobs with no time for making my dreams come true. So as a result, a lot of

106
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:49,440
my dreams, as I call them, were like placed in this shelf of dreams and I would, you know,

107
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:57,440
collecting dust over the years. And when I decided to work with People versus a Company,

108
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:08,080
it brought with that a lot of flexibility and independence. And it made me go forward with a

109
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:13,600
lot of these dreams. I started opening this, you know, imaginary shelf, I call them, but all of the

110
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,000
dreams that I wanted to accomplish. So I can thank my parents for all the hard work that they've

111
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,800
done for me. I can thank my parents, my brother and my ancestors for their sacrifices through me

112
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:28,400
achieving some of the dreams. So they don't feel guilty for bringing us here and wondering if as

113
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:33,200
parents that did the right move, perhaps life would have been a lot better in Albania or not,

114
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:38,320
something that we will never know. So in order for me to say thank you, I'm grateful and I appreciate

115
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:43,520
you. I'm going to go and make my dreams come true because I believe I'm not a parent yet, but I

116
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:49,440
believe there's nothing more beautiful for a parent as a gift from their children when they go and

117
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,400
accomplish their own dreams. So then the parents feel that they've done something right, right? And

118
00:12:54,400 --> 00:13:01,600
of course, that parent guilt never goes away. And because I couldn't be Miss Albania, I said,

119
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:06,720
why not participate in a Miss New York USA pageant? What's the worst that can happen?

120
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:15,600
And literally two days ago, I was in Albany and I participated in the Miss New York USA

121
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:25,200
beauty pageant with 170 women. I did not tell my parents, I did not tell my brother. I kept it a

122
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:32,960
secret from everybody for three months. I was accepted in March. My parents traveled to Albania

123
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:40,480
and here I am working in secret to buy the gown and everything else that was needed to participate

124
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:45,680
in the beauty pageant. Ended up in Albany a day before they traveled from Albania.

125
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,800
Pretty much told them I have extra tickets. I'm working the red carpet at Miss Universe because

126
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:57,200
I am on TV. So it was very easy to come up with that justification to which they're like, what are

127
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,440
we going to do there? What's a bunch of ladies walk on the runway? Like, no, and I'm like, please,

128
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:08,080
it's very important to me. Long story short, on Sunday, my parents end up in Albany.

129
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,200
And next thing you know, I'm telling my parents and my brother, I'll meet you guys later. Right

130
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:19,200
now I'm working in the back helping the girls, so on and so forth. And all of a sudden I am number

131
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:26,240
three on the lineup. So my parents, my brothers see me walk the runway as one of the participants.

132
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:32,160
Of course they're in tears. And that was my goal. My goal was not to post it all over social media

133
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:39,280
so I can win the people's choice. It wasn't for that. My goal was I wanted to surprise my parents,

134
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,760
to say thank you to them and to make sure they know how much I love them and appreciate them.

135
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,160
And none of this would be possible without their sacrifices leaving everything behind

136
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:54,800
so we could have a better life. And because that's been a dream of mine forever, I said,

137
00:14:54,800 --> 00:15:00,960
I am the only one who can make this dream come true. So I need to take action because of them,

138
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:07,440
if not because of me. So here I am now in the magazine, number three, you can see this here.

139
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:15,760
And I get to check off another dream. And that excites me so much because when that person hears

140
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:22,560
this story, then they get to say, you know what, regardless how old you are, how you look, how tall

141
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:29,040
you are, those restrictions no longer apply. There's so much diversity. There's so much

142
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:35,520
inclusion. There is so much excitement and the different beauties coming together and you network

143
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:41,120
with these women. So I want to encourage all the listeners that if there is a dream out there

144
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:46,880
that is within reach, that is realistic, you can make it happen. You have to work hard. You have

145
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:53,280
to show up regardless how you feel. You have to show up because on the other side, you are going

146
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:59,120
to be so happy that you did. And then you can inspire others and others. So I did it for the

147
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:05,200
inspiration aspect and to thank my family for giving so much to me that I could never, of course,

148
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:12,480
give back to them. But every day I'm trying to do the best I can. So this is my most exciting

149
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:18,160
project that I've been waiting a lifetime. So I can talk forever about this, but it was so much

150
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:27,360
fun. So much fun anyways. Well, I'm glad you got to accomplish that. It was not easy. I promise you,

151
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:32,240
but I got it done and apologies for interrupting. I just want to show that picture. You're very

152
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:37,120
beautiful. Congratulations too, though, because it did get you out of your comfort zone and it made

153
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:46,880
you reach another milestone and goal. So that's huge. And speaking of milestones and goals,

154
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:59,520
what is your next milestone? I am pretty much taking it one day at a time. I am never been

155
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:05,120
the person that when I was asked, where do you see yourself in five years, in one year, in 10 years,

156
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:11,920
that question terrified me. So as far as milestones, currently I'm working on the third

157
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:18,560
volume of Real Women in Real Estate, where this is going to be our final of the trilogy of women

158
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:23,360
from all walks of life, from all over the world, sharing their real estate journey so we can inspire

159
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:31,360
the reader so they can start in their real estate journey and eventually live passively and not

160
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:38,560
depend on W2 alone so they can start building that legacy wealth for themselves and their families.

161
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:46,560
So I would say as far as plans, it's pretty much to connect with as many people as possible,

162
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:52,960
to match as many businesses as possible, because as a business matchmaker, nothing makes me happier

163
00:17:52,960 --> 00:18:00,000
than to be that glue that puts the two parties together and hold them together so they can have

164
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:07,520
the best services and have a beautiful experience and have successful businesses that continue to

165
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:15,440
scale. And for me to be a part of that, I would say that why not help hundreds and hundreds of

166
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:22,960
businesses through my connections, through my relationships, through my leadership skills,

167
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:32,560
management skills and people skills to make life a lot easier for the business owners who are busy

168
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:39,440
handling so many other things. And I want to leave the relationship aspect to me because having a

169
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:47,760
strong power base and building a strong reputation for two decades living in this country, I feel like

170
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:54,800
I am that person that takes people on the elevator to that level they need to be versus them taking

171
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,680
the stairs. There is no need for people to take stairs to go to the second or third floor if

172
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,680
they only need to go to the fifth floor and skip the other three. And that way I can say,

173
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:10,320
yeah, come with me. Let's go into the elevator and let's meet the people you need to meet. Because

174
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:16,000
guess what? I've done the work for 20 years, for 10 years, for five years, and I've been

175
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,040
doing this for 10 years, for five years. So now I'm going to secure you that seat at the table,

176
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:26,560
that voice in the room versus you working for five, 10 years in order for you to get in front of the

177
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:32,400
right people that are the decision makers so you can have a successful business and vice versa.

178
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:40,160
So as milestone is to help a lot of business owners with their needs, help as many investors,

179
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:48,080
help them get a right position, help them with their business. So I do know that you will surely

180
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:56,360
come with me through this. But, I mean, this is a big company, I have鬼z from

181
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:02,640
eastern Africa that runs is a big company. In власти, there is a big company. There is also

182
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:09,280
server sharing where areas where in the workforce where they can't see誠实.

183
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:15,600
in my network and of course expand my network as well because I am looking forward to meeting

184
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:21,240
so many more amazing human beings so I can work with, collaborate with and create magic

185
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,240
together.

186
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,460
So yeah, that's in the plans.

187
00:20:26,460 --> 00:20:29,120
So how can the audience connect with you?

188
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:37,240
Yes, I am very active on major social medias, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter.

189
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,640
So it's very simple, my handle is migena nyc.

190
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,440
It's very easy to find me.

191
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,760
So M-I-G-E-N-A-N-Y-C.

192
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:51,280
Hopefully I have inspired someone today to go after your dreams because you are the only

193
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,400
one for the most part who can make them come true.

194
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,800
It starts with you.

195
00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:02,600
And so my last question is, can you share one key piece of advice to successfully connect

196
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,920
with more businesses and professionals in today's market?

197
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:07,920
Absolutely.

198
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:08,920
Always ask.

199
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:13,400
If you don't ask, the answer is always no.

200
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,920
If you don't ask, you are leaving a lot of opportunities at the table.

201
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:25,040
My website is AskMigena, my podcast is AskMigenaShow and I cannot stress enough the importance

202
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,760
of the word ask.

203
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,320
Ask questions, be curious.

204
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,320
If you don't know something, ask.

205
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:41,960
So I feel like a lot of the reasons why I have accomplished a lot in such a short period

206
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:48,200
of time is because I have asked a lot of questions and I have surrounded myself with a lot of

207
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,960
whos in my life who add the answers.

208
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:58,680
So don't focus so much on the what, focus on the who and ask all of them because everybody

209
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:07,840
is an expert at something that could accelerate your journey, can make your dreams come true,

210
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,680
can give you a different vision that you didn't even see that you had or point out something

211
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:16,320
about you that you didn't even know that you brought to the table.

212
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:22,200
And unless you ask, for example, ask, Sheila, I love your podcast.

213
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,160
How can I be a guest on your podcast?

214
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,160
What it is that I can bring?

215
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,160
Can we talk?

216
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:32,880
Boom, you just ask and you open the door and Sheila could say absolutely yes or Sheila could

217
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,280
say, you know what?

218
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:42,080
Your story doesn't necessarily align with my audience, but I know five other podcasters

219
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,120
would love to have you a guest.

220
00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:47,520
So you ended up now with five different opportunities only because you asked.

221
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,600
And then Sheila or myself would appreciate it because we're we love actually pouring

222
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:58,080
back into the people that take action in themselves and ask for themselves because when he asked

223
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:03,840
for you, you truly are asking for your entire community because once you're out there, game

224
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,040
on, you're exposed.

225
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,080
People know you and you never know who is going to listen to you and you never know

226
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:16,480
who is going to invite you into their book, into their podcast, into their business opportunity,

227
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,480
real estate opportunity, partnership.

228
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:24,480
You can end up in boards, you can be not for profits and the list goes on and on and on.

229
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:30,600
The opportunities that are endless and starts with a very simple task called ask.

230
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:31,600
That's it.

231
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:32,880
That's all you have to do.

232
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,880
Just ask.

233
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:40,840
Thank you so much and thank you all for joining us on another episode of Milestone Moments
