    Investing in Yourself: The REPP 2024 Conference

    Investing in yourself is critically important to the success of your business. It’s easy to want to invest in equipment, social media, editing and the like, but unless you also invest in yourself, you won’t have the personal tools to build a business. One way to invest in yourself is to attend industry conferences where you can learn from industry veterans, gain new ideas and knowledge, network with others in the field and, well, relax and have a little fun as well. Todd and Craig talk this week with Eli Jones, founder of the Real Estate Photography Pro (REPP) Conference. The conference will be November 15th and 16th, 2024 at the Park MGM Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, NV. To find out more and to register, be sure to check out http://repplaunch.com/repp2024. We hope to see you there!
