26A- Celebrating Failure

1. Over the summer, I started working in ATL selling commercial real estate and I failed a couple time while cold calling investors. 

2. What I learned from my failures is how to overcome objections. Furthermore, I sat down with my mentor and and did cold call role play's where I learned how to overcome and table objections. 

3. To me, failure is a great thing. When you fail, you don't ask, "why me?" rather, you learn why you fail so going forward to can fix your mistakes and achieve greatness.

    Hi Bryson,
    Great post! I dreaded making cold calls in my last internship so I can understand how they can be difficult to cold call investors. Sitting down with your mentor to practice cold calling with some role-play is a great way to get better. I think the way you look at failure is a great attitude to have as en entrepreneur.

5A: Identifying Local Opportunities

Opportunity 1:  Vote by mail helps republicans. So why is Trump bashing it? https://www.tampabay.com/news/health/2020/05/28/vote-by-mail-helps-florida-republicans-so-why-is-trump-bashing-it/ As the election is slowly creeping up on us amid the Covid-19 crisis, legislation is starting to look at other alternatives for voting. One alternative they are exploring is vote-by-mail. The country's president has continued to attack expanded use of mail-in-ballots.  The problem in this situation is the option for voter fraud. Trump believes that if our country does opt in to vote-by-mail it would give the democrats a huge advantage for the upcoming election. In this case, Trump, and all other republicans have the problem. The republican party might be at risk to voter fraud hence losing them the election  Opportunity 2: The party has started: Tampa Bay bars are open, just not all of them  https://www.tampabay.com/arts-entertainment/2020/05/27/the-party-has-started-tampa-bay-ba...

Opportunity Belief

I believe there is an opportunity to be successful in the real estate leasing sector because so many businesses had to vacate their office, retail, and industrial space due to issues concerning Covid-19. The unmet need is the space tenants are looking for to get back in the business and tenants such as mom and pop restaurants or logistics companies would have the need. The need came from these companies wanting to re open their stores at a reasonable price. Currently, such tenants are hiring real estate brokers to find them space so they can operate their business.  As said before the pro typical customer would be anyone who lost their office space due to Covid-19 but today I want to focus on retail businesses and gyms in particular. Gym's have taken the biggest hit terms of retail and a lot of them are forced to close their doors to customers hence not coming up with revenue to pay rent to their property landlord. Upon interviewing a local gym owner in my home town I came to find ...

My entrepreneurship story

The most notable entrepreneurship story I can think of is when I invested in my first income producing property. This venture started when I graduated high school. I had enough money saved up to put a down payment on a duplex in Tampa Florida. Overall, the tenants were trustworthy and always paid me my rent on time and didn't bother me at all. Nonetheless, it was very rewarding experience.  I enrolled in this class because I consider myself an entrepreneur and hope that I can use this class to leverage my knowledge into future business ventures.
