  • Love. This. Podcast.

    I listened to your interview with Marty yesterday—SO informative! The one statement that hit me square in my brain exactly where it needed to land was “inconsistency creates anxiety”.

    BOOM. 👏🏻

Podcast Ep 401 - Before You Join a Networking Group, Listen to This
Q: Was it worth it in terms of revenue and business growth, and would you do it again?
Objectively, the results were not worth the time and travel for revenue; while there were some non-revenue benefits and a few referrals, the overall ROI didn't justify continuing, and a future group would need to be a better fit and closer to home.
