On November 22, 2013, Terry Russell joined the Young Leaders Group and shared his background, information about his company, FrontDoor Communities, projects he is working on and project challenges he has faced. He also had a few key pieces of advice:

1)  Take a lifelong learning approach to business

  • it gains you better business intelligence
  • helps you build your personal network to navigate your career and
  • you make lifelong friends

2)  ULI is about quality development where as some industry organizations have other objectives

3)  You are known by the company you keep

4)  Measure your day by accomplishments, not the amount of activity – work / life balance is imperative to maintaining a physically, emotionally and mentally stable lifestyle.

5)  “A good reputation is a lot of work to keep; a bad reputation is a lot of work to improve”
