Matt Murray – Founder and CEO of Blue Collar King Coaching & Consulting

I am proof that you can go out and learn a trade and then you can go out
and learn leadership, financial literacy, operations and customer service.
You can get that education without going through the college system.

The best way to get a good price on a house is to wait a month or two
for the seller to lower the price and then negotiate off that lower price.
Most people don’t do that. They find a house they like and worry about
missing it, and they act too soon and pay more than they need to.
