When I and the professors began to process the data that we learned, it became very clear that we had a roadmap for success. And I used that over the years.” - Peter Haines"I am involved in BNI for the opportunity to meet young people, to share my story with young people, but also to keep me sharp. You know, part of my work is telling my story in an effective way. And part of BNI is learning how you tell your story so that it is received well. It doesn't matter how you send it, but you got to receive it well." - Peter Haines“You can learn and grow as a professional so long as you're willing to pay attention, right? You learn how to network, you learn how to connect, you learn how to communicate what it is that you do in a way that's effective.” - Raquel RamirezSOCIAL MEDIA LINKSRaquel RamirezInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/featured_properties_intl/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/featuredreLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raquel-ramirez/Peter HainesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/PeterHainesLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterchaines/WEBSITES:The Real Talk: https://www.therealtalkpodcast.net/Featured Properties International: https://msha.ke/featuredreHorizon Growth LLC: https://www.horizongrowth.com/
