“I don’t care how powerful, persuasive, driven or creative you are … if you don’t have a solid infrastructure when growth hits, you’re not going to last very long.”

Watch Sylvester explain why these pillars and the rest of the “blueprint” are necessary for every entrepreneur hoping for a successful transition from agent to broker.
