The Business Card Challenge... Can you do it?
Today, I was talking with a Phoenix broker of 30+ years. David said that when he was young agent two years into the business, he went to a conference where the speaker offered a challenge:
"Do you want to make money in real estate? Then hand out your business card to ten people you have never met, every day, for a month."
David kept track by creating a 10 x 31 grid on a sheet of paper, and keeping the paper in the middle of his desk. Every morning, a column with ten empty spaces would be there to greet him. Though it was a grind, he stuck with it, marking his checkboxes each day. Once, to keep his streak going, he had to go out for a late-night Dairy Queen just so he could meet someone new and pass them his card.
After all of that, the very next month, David did 52 deals, all without a computer or even a fax machine (this was the mid-80s).
When I have my Arizona RE license in a few weeks, I am going to take the Business Card Challenge. Who else is in?
