Great content will make your brand stand out Don't rely on the AI slop! Put real effort into creating high quality content for your startup

Life is sales. Relationships are sales. Real estate is sales. If you know how to sell yourself and your ideas, you will win. If you are uncomfortable, afraid, or not very good at articulating your message, you will lose. Sales is hard to teach but it’s the most important skill of all in business. No sales? Then you don’t have a business. To me, a lot of it relies on extremely clear communication and charisma. You learn it through repetition and practice. It all comes down to picking up the phone over and over again and not being afraid of rejection, (because you'll get a lot of it.) I've been hung up on more times than I can count when cold calling self-storage facilities to source deals. I've been laughed at on calls with potential investors. I've had folks tell me we'll never make money and that we should find something else to do. Now we have 62 properties and 1.86M sqft and several other fast growing businesses. The lesson: I didn’t quit and I wasn’t afraid to sell. I put myself out there and I made it happen. A lot of my success in sales has come from simply doing thousands of reps.

@robwalling This is incredible I'm helping a lot of people in terms of connections but this is the long term goal: to put money in the hands of founders for building

Got a new series on TikTok where I post daily about what I’m learning in venture capital and startups Been fun so far I’ll start a thread here

Myth: “You have to go to college to learn something deeply.” Reality: You just need structure, feedback, and focus. That’s what Learn Journal helps with — minus the student debt. (Yes, I know college degrees are important.)

The most successful people I know don’t just “learn things.” They track what they’re learning. They write down insights. They set clear intentions. That’s what Learn Journal helps you do
