2019-09-061h 24Basketball To BusinessHow To Build A Team Without MoneyDisclaimer - The skill of trading items of unequal value will get you what you want without it costing as much... or anything. For me, it’s helped me get more help and more teammates. What it DOESN’T do is guarantee retention. Nothing does... but follow-up and inspecting what you expect helps. Nonetheless, trading items of unequal value in my opinion is the quickest way we can get what we want without having to pay nearly as much. Hopefully you experience its benefits.
