So Matthew Slutsky built it! This week I interview Matthew Slutsky of BuzzBuzzHome. Matthew is the president and founder of the company that is taking the new home world by storm. So he built it… And they came! In droves… It started with an idea. Then came the long hours combined with a lot of hard work. It wasn’t easy for Matthew and his team at BuzzBuzzHome, but he will tell you it has been worth it. (And when you see what they have built, I’m sure you will agree!)

This interview is a must for anyone who is thinking about starting their own business, or is thinking about going deep with their niche. (And for anyone who loves The Niche Agent… Which is most of you I assume 🙂 ) Matthew shared this amazing quote that I think will resonate with most of you! “Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.
