It's the little things...

Yesterday's success: We got our first call back on our first teensy batch of yellow letters.

Todays success: I learned a whole hell of a lot about vetting sellers to determine who is actually motivated to sell and to what degree. (When I met with the buyer and eventually figured out that they're just not quite "there" yet).

The takeaway: 90% of the work we're doing (at least now in the early days) is seed planting. Follow up is huge. Patience is necessary. Getting a sense as to when to walk away and for how long is vital.

Up next: a more official marketing campaign and some general business organizing.

I've appreciated all the feedback from many members along the way as we get started on the journey!
