Dani was my first mentor who laid the foundation for my development. He removed my rose-coloured glasses, analysed situations with me, and practically demonstrated how crucial negotiations are in our lives.
What I appreciated most about him was that I entered the program with certain expectations and left with so much more. Currently, I am in a position where I know I can achieve anything I set my mind to, thanks to his guidance.
Krasimir Rusinov
Dani and I met through the mentor program "Mentor The Young". Even though in the beginning we didn't know each other, he was ready to start helping with professionalism and respect.
Dani helped me to enrich my knowledge of real estate and also in the direction of personal development. He was an amazing mentor, professional, human and friendly. I strongly recommend working with him – you aren't going to be disappointed!
The following list of books is a good first step to start educating yourself in case you haven't done it yet.
Of course, there are many other excellent book sources available, however nothing can replace a customized solution depending on your needs.
