BOMA OC: What does your BOMA membership mean to you?

BOMA OC: What are three lessons that you have learned the hard way?

Brett:

1. 1.  Say “Yes” to things that take you out of your comfort zone as much as possible. Doing this has helped me grow exponentially, but is much easier said than done.
   2. Balance in life is very important.
   3. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. When I was just starting out in my career I thought I had to know everything which is the complete wrong way of thinking.  Once you realize that it is OK to ask for help, you will grow and your relationships will improve.
