KEY TAKEAWAYS

• People who avoid failure also avoid success. If you fail, you learn and grow stronger.
• SA is a numbers game.
• Losing 3 or 4 hrs of networking or negotiation time to stuffing envelopes is nuts. Pay someone to do the admin etc.
• Social media is a great place to find deals but use it in the right way.
• Dreams without action equals procrastination.
• Co-working offices are the business version of Wetherspoons, they are great for networking, being around positive people, and finding deals.
• Your ability to solve problems quickly and be decisive has a direct impact on how successful you are.
• Self-care is essential. Diet impacts energy levels.
• Have a power hour and hammer that phone speaking to agents.
• Be relentless, never give up.
• Direct mailing using small gifts is a powerful way to get someone's attention.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Failure doesn’t exist…. You either win or learn.’
