Where to begin? Chris, you remind me of myself 35 years ago. You know, before I learned what couth meant. \ud83d\ude42 If you haven’t read Chris’s latest effort, it’s not long. It’s all about him payin’ the bills kickin’ booty via 1.0.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Payin’ the bills? Here’s some perspective. Chris made more money in the hell hole known as ‘any city in Ohio’ than the sophisticated, whining posers in San Diego who’re still pullin’ down over $10,000 a deal. ‘Course they’ll never know that. It’s so hard to read through teary eyes or hear through the din of constant whining and complaining.<\/p>\n

I remember, mostly fondly, agents smiling condescendingly at the 18 year old calling all the FSBO’s every weekend from breakfast ’till dinner. “Why’s his daddy forcin’ him to waste so much time gettin’ his head bashed in?” For the record, I listed a FSBO six hours into my career. I had just over zero talent, and the bulk of my ‘knowledge’ of the business was embodied in the state licensing test I’d just taken. I just did what I was told would produce results. And what’a’ya know? They were right. <\/p>\n

Six years later folks told me knockin’ on the same doors every month was a waste of time. They’re still<\/strong> tellin’ me that. ‘Course they never had their car nearly run off the road twice by homeowners who couldn’t wait another week to see you so they could list his homes now. Most agents will do anything under the sun to avoid going one on one with a stranger who might tell them to go to hell — or provide them a skinned cat for their wall.<\/p>\n

Then from the late 80’s thru the early 21st century, they harangued me about all the time I spent sending out direct mail. <\/p>\n

Chris makes the best points of the young new year when it comes to creating new business.<\/em><\/p>\n
