Do you like showing people the glitz for show or do you like playing in the dirt because you love the process? The sustained winners in business love shoveling dirt every day more so than showing off for others. Something to think about…
So many tired leaders begin with the mentality of “here is what I have done.” Meanwhile, it is more meaningful to look ahead and talk about a tone that includes what we will do together. You will bring a lot more people along with the latter.
We spend so much wasted time trying to cut people down and ultimately nothing gets done. Try sitting down and having conversations. Perhaps we can discover that most of us have common interests and we can get things done.
My recommendation is to be effective whenever approaching me or any of my friends. It is simple. Be a human being. And then show me where you provide meaningful value.
It does not matter if you are an introvert or outgoing. However, there is one thing that does matter. You better have a competitive spirit. This is non-negotiable.
If you get rejected for a job or a sale, take the high road. There are so many opportunities out there. The next one could emerge tomorrow…even today.
Motivation is not sustainable. It is all about your purpose.
In our position, we want to help people. We want to be part of their story. You are a part of that when you work with us. However, you better be a good person above all else.
As UHNW families with a history of building, creating, and distributing, there is a role to play in growing businesses directly. We build growth, create jobs, and generate sustained wages through the flexibility that traditional lenders and capital markets lack.
Leadership can be defined as simple as this. Know the road map. Go out there and do it. Pull people up to do it alongside you. Elevate people beyond what they believed was possible.

@awilkinson Keep in simple. “Clever” causes trouble. Why not roll treasuries, take 80% margin and use that as the debt on real estate purchases. Pay yourself back with RE yield and build up your un-leveraged asset base that way. The margin call is unlikely rolling bills. Big risk is real…
Why is a solid SMB deal team crucial? ⏩SMB deals take 10 left turns & hit dead ends. ⏩You need pros who can back up without a crash. ⏩Seek flexible, easy-to-work-with team members. ⏩They must be very available. ⏩Insist on a high # of deal reps.
Yes rollups are hard. Stop trying them. You’ll prob go bankrupt. Just stop. Save your money!!! Survive!!!
You’re seeing in real time why rollups are so hard and, often, don’t work. The point of the rollup is to a) capture value through synergies / efficiencies, and b) multiple arbitrage on exit. When the consolidators can’t get deals done due to financing constraints, the economy,…

So many tired leaders begin with the mentality of “here is what I have done.” Meanwhile, it is more meaningful to look ahead and talk about a tone that includes what we will do together. You will bring a lot more people along with the latter.
Some inside game for Searchers: Have four oto five "mini-bios" ready for different types of businesses/sellers/brokers Present the one that fits the deal you're looking at best
We spend so much wasted time trying to cut people down and ultimately nothing gets done. Try sitting down and having conversations. Perhaps we can discover that most of us have common interests and we can get things done.
