Everything happens for a reason and there is no coincidence. People come into your life when you need to learn something from them; conversely, you come into others’ lives when they need to learn from you. It is a gift to serve this population and inspire them to take that leap of faith to choose to continue their life’s journey making new friends, new experiences, and new memories.
Helping community teams realize that earning someone’s trust is more important than taking someone’s check. Once you do one, the other will follow. Invest your time and talents in future residents and they will invest in you and your community. Prospects do not buy bricks and mortar. They buy honesty, sincerity, and a belief that you have their best interest at heart and will take better care of them in the future.
