Hi it’s me, Paul. Summoned to Twitter by @realEstateTrent

It was 2008, and the phones stopped ringing.

No buyers, no lenders, nobody wanted to transact. No end in sight.

After months of nothingness, I decided to take a little break and head to Europe for a couple weeks.

That was when I met my friend Paul, and it changed my life.

[PaulFromEurope @PaulFromEurope]

Currently at a boutique hotel.

Yesterday, while my daughter napped, I looked for a spot for a zoom call.

Found a plain unmarked door, opened it... and locked eyes with a naked woman mid-spa prep.

We both froze. I shut the door in panic.

Awkward seeing her at breakfast 😂🇬🇷

@aussieflya I was 16, first time in NYC. My host fell through, and the morning I had to leave, I had nowhere to sleep that night.

I went knocking on the door of strangers that I'd met the night before while crashing their party.

They welcomed me in. I stayed 2 nights. I’ll never forget.

[PaulFromEurope @PaulFromEurope]

Most powerful tool to ask and efficiently get anything you want:

Politeness

[PaulFromEurope @PaulFromEurope]

I always remind my 2 year old daughter to say “thank you,” “you’re welcome,” “hello sir/madam,” “bye.”

Just like brushing teeth—doesn’t always feel urgent, but it matters.

Funny how some kids skip it and just giggle. Politeness is just basic training for life.

@dirtdog I mean it’s an Audi!

December 2019, I hosted a black tie dinner in Palm Beach for about 80 clients

With creativity we save thousands on the dessert

(Refined bakery in that area cost that much)

Maurizio Cattelan’s banana was released the week before

This is what we served, guests loved it 😂

[PaulFromEurope @PaulFromEurope]

Flying for 8 hours with your 20 month old daughter is always anticipated with fear,

Would the person around us be annoyed by her presence ?

Realizing today that we were sitting between a pre-school teacher and a pediatrician, had made us a sense of relief 🙏🏻

[PaulFromEurope @PaulFromEurope]

@VoteHarrisOut Your statement isn’t written in this letter!

[PaulFromEurope @PaulFromEurope]

@hannes10010 That artist is in USA

[PaulFromEurope @PaulFromEurope]

A friend has a successful art career, selling paintings from $5K to $100K, depend on sizes, and grossing annually $1M in sales

Thinking outside the box, he bought a few vintage cars-Ferrari, Bentley, and Porsche-

not by passion, but to gain access to exclusive rally events

[PaulFromEurope @PaulFromEurope]

@tawillionaire You can still switch career 😉

[PaulFromEurope @PaulFromEurope]

@tawillionaire When he sell through his galleries (he is represented by a fews) the commission is 50-50 split

Obviously the sales he matérialise through these cars rallye connexions, he keep 100 pour cents

[PaulFromEurope @PaulFromEurope]

I bumped to him last night and asked how was his summer

his answer:

« Great I just pass my boat license » 😃😉

[PaulFromEurope @PaulFromEurope]

From these networkings, he now sell around 10 paintings per year.

Insurance for the car is set up the day prior to the rally (for 30 days only) and because they're vintage, he only needs liability coverage.

The best part, the cars have even appreciated in value!

[PaulFromEurope @PaulFromEurope]

@SecretCFO My suggestion is to make sure that your daughter knows that she has no obligation to continue to go to that school, if she don’t wish to, starting today.

And that if that’s her decision, you’ll find alternative solutions.

[PaulFromEurope @PaulFromEurope]

@seandsweeney @realEstateTrent Im genuinely curious what you find suitable for kids to eat ?

[PaulFromEurope @PaulFromEurope]

@summitavcapital @realEstateTrent I don’t find it funny for your friends

[PaulFromEurope @PaulFromEurope]

@realEstateTrent I would pay that New York tax any days,

In addition to the jacket, London, Paris or Brussels have a grey sky

[PaulFromEurope @PaulFromEurope]

@realEstateTrent Weren’t you already totally fine staying home before the kids ? 😃
