5. The “Fast 5” Questions.

Blake’s “Fast Five” Answers:

1. If you lost your business, had $500 in your pocket, place to live, laptop computer. What would you do first? Find something to buy with the $500 that I could sell for a profit and build from there.
2. What is the biggest business mistake that you have made? Not staying in my lane and trying to do too many things. I made a change and found my groove a couple years ago that helped me to grow my business massively.
3. What is a good book (Movie) that you would recommend? I love crime dramas, my favorite is “The Irishman”
4. What is a tool that you use in your business every day that you would recommend? Zip Whip (https://www.zipwhip.com/) I use it in all aspects of my business. It allows me to text clients from my phone, computer, tablet.
5. How do we get a hold of you? The best way is to give me a call at 512-382-0967, or shoot me an email at Bfoster@farmersagent.com.
