A lot of emphasis gets placed on networking when you’re young, and rightfully so.
But everyone focuses on meeting as many people as they can when getting the most out of your current network is arguably more important.
Meet people for the 2nd/3rd/4th time and see what happens.
If Staubach and I called my dad simultaneously, no doubt he would hit me with the automated "can't talk now" text. For a CEO, regardless of pro sports affiliation, they're taking Staubach's call.
The sobering realization that you only need 1 yes a month to be a 7 figure producer in 3 years. The "lose my numbers" and "f**k offs" are totally worth it.
Per Houston legend T Scott - Pick up the phone baby!
You send a cold email. 10 minutes later you see they viewed your LinkedIn profile.
Is it bad sportsmanship to call them out in a second email?
Curious... because I just did it.
I'd rather people just hit me with no vs ignoring. It's better for both of us. #retwit

Yesterday I drove over to his office and waited in the lobby until he would see me.
I brought his old lease that I bloodied up with red ink and gave it to him.
He looked it over for a few minutes in silence. "Fine, you can have my business."
Had a client that hired us end of 23. He was stoked to work with us because his last broker "did a terrible job"
Last night when asking for a signed rep agreement - "Sorry, we are not going to make a change at this time"
Wouldn't give me a reason. What would you do?
An O&G Executive that I cold called was having a blast messing with me.
"We have a 99 year lease, but you can keep callin"
That would have been a fun 4% to collect.
5:30 PM daily, my dad calls and catches up on the cold calls and deal flow. He is a cattle man and knows nothing about commercial real estate but he listens and cheers me on.
These are the things that I'll miss someday.
