Pic of the day... I can only aspire... But I will be trying on Saturday at 18th and PCH at 6am sharp if you want to join our motley troupe. I will be the one doing my best imitation of clothes in the wash-cycle.
Mulhearn wants to give me his schpiel on Sat at 10am. I hope to squeeze a recommendation to the commercial R/E side. Or something other than grinding out residential sales.
I have calculated that in residential sales I would have to close two half million houses a month to make my salary. That's a tall order. I can probably do it; but it would be hard to do it surfing. It would mean losing my weekends too. But I could sleep in... Income property is a clear sideline... I need to learn how to do RoA for income property...
I am going to see what kind of educational materials I can get while finishing my salesperson's requirements. I will not list a broker until I talk to Gil.
Key word is "value." What is my value to Mulhearn? What is his value to me? Maybe I'll be surprised. I won't know until I go down and talk to the guy. It is a great networking opportunity as he is well respected and very successful.
Work is good. But the tactical plan calls for some serious change in the organization and I am not sure that it can handle it. In addition, the assumptions to the plan were primarily monetary. Having the money isn't the issue. Where and how to spend it is. I think the assumptions should have been less monetary related and more strategically related. Instead of saying," We have $25M for IT and where are we going to spend it?" We should have asked,"We need to accomplish this strategic organizational goal, how are we going to achieve it? And what is it going to cost us?"
That's my two cents from the cheap seats.
