The £5,000 Coffee
The best advice I’ve ever been given is “just turn up”. Whatever it is you’re trying to accomplish you’ll outperform the majority of people by just turning up.
The majority of people won’t try. And if you don’t position yourself in a place where you can achieve whatever it is you’re trying to accomplish then it’ll never happen.
By just turning up, you’re doing what 90% of the “experts” you meet won’t do (the ones who have an opinion on everything, and for every opinion they have two excuses why they haven’t followed their own advice).
Last week I had a coffee meeting with a property client. A meeting that I was convinced wouldn’t come to anything.
That morning, I woke up that loaded with the cold 🤒, fed up, unmotivated, convinced this was a waste of time, wanting nothing else than to stay in bed. But, I went along anyway.
I didn’t believe anything would come from it, but I just turned up. The result, a £5,000 deal to project manage a massive refurb.
Thing is, anyone could’ve found this deal, it’s a property that’s been abandoned for 4 years, no one else has tried to make a deal happen. No one else turned up. I didn’t do anything special, I was just there.
