What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve ever received was simple but powerful: *“You have one shot at life—don’t blow it.”* That message has stayed with me and shaped how I approach every opportunity, challenge, and decision. It reminds me to be intentional with my time, to give my best in everything I do, and to never settle for mediocrity. In real estate and property management, where every deal and relationship matters, this mindset has kept me focused, driven, and unafraid to take bold steps forward.
