Freedom. But 2. you're creating a consistent experience for your guests without you being involved in it." - Emanuele Pani "When you bring on somebody to help you, may it be a local person or VA, the only thing you can teach them is how you've been doing things." - Emanuele Pani CONNECTING WITH THE HOSTS Michael Sjogren:  Facebook Group |  Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube | https://linktr.ee/the_airbnbguy Clubhouse handle: @MichaelSjogren Emanuele Pani: Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube Clubhouse handle: @epanirealestate 2021 Goal Achiever Action Guide: www.strsecrets.com/2021 Learn more about your ad choices.
