What is the thing that keeps you going when you feel you can't go any further?

Today, I'm so excited to be joined by Steven Ross. Steven is a Trainer, Realtor, Guide, and Best-selling Author of the book "Doors Open When You Knock." With over 30 years of experience selling real estate, and after knocking on over 125,000 doors and walking approximately 5,000 miles, Steven learned what it takes to persevere, create relationships out of thin air, and turn strangers into raving fans.
