RE: That day when Tone Vays likes a couple of your tweets and you value him as a leader in the Crypto + Liberty space
I don't like the guy, saw him discussing segwit with Roger Ver and I wasn't impressed at all by what he had to say. He wants bitcoin seen as a privacy tool and that's it.
Hey Barry! Thanks for liking so many of my posts! I've been considering getting into real estate and was wondering if you had any advice.
1/ On Tone and others we may not "like" in life etc: - The older I get, the more I am able to separate emotions from fact. A good nugget that I try to use is listen and learn and pluck out the gold nuggets from people I may not "like" all that much.
Oftimes, there is SOMETHING of worth there..... not always, but tune your filter for that and it will help us... and also the sting of the things we may not like... is lessened as a result/benefit too.
2/ Apply that to your real estate, they go hand in hand, as in life.
3/ Pick a mentor that is several years in the business, watch them, meet with them once a week, or twice a month if they are willing and be accountable with them. Ideally someone in your market so apples are apples as far as being relateable to everything relevant.
4/ Pay attn to and learn all political policy locally to you and above your Municipality/Region.
As much as gov't is a sham, most people have no idea about all this. Learn the political governance and policies to your area, go to city council meetings, learn the Planning/Zoning boring stuff most people don't know. Learn who the people are at your city hall (s) where you do business.
It will help your business, clients, friends around you and you have to know the system, to function within the system.
I am not saying you have to put in 20 000+ hours of your time like I have into all this, community activism, and city hall related meetings, but it will make you a stronger Realtor, resident and local authority on matters germaine to the average person's biggest investment that is taxed and surveilled by "the state".
Have a good week my man.
