@BigBrainBizness PUT…the coffee down. Coffee is for closers

Ken Griffin, founder of Citadel, has a $10 plaque behind his desk that reads: "If we're all going to eat, someone has to sell." Of all the things this man could surround himself with, he chose a cheap plaque with a blunt truth about business. "You're always selling. You're selling to candidates. You're selling to vendors, you're selling to counterparties, you're selling to customers." And if you're always selling, you know what you're going to hear a lot of? "No." Griffin doesn't sugarcoat it. He tells two stories that illustrate just how brutal rejection can be. 1994 was a rough year, with Citadel losing ~4% of its capital. Griffin flew to Switzerland for a crucial lunch meeting, sat down, and his guest arrived only to say: "Oh, I thought you were John Griffin from Fen Church. I got to go." His lunch date got up and left the table. Later that afternoon, a Swiss banker spent 45 minutes with him in a beautiful office, smoking a cigar, before closing with: "Such a pity that such a bright young man picked the wrong career." Two rejections in one day for the founder of one of the most successful hedge funds in history — and his takeaway was simply this: "You just have to tolerate. You're going to hear no a lot, but you need to become accustomed to having to market your ideas and market what you represent and what you stand for." Absorbing rejection and continuing anyway is the actual skill, whether you're hiring, raising capital, or winning customers. Most people avoid selling because they're afraid of no. The ones who build great things have learned to expect it.

@New_tres @grok verify this

🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin: “We will cut natural gas supplies to European countries that support the U.S. in attacks against Iran.”

@RadarHits @grok is this ai generated video or real

BREAKING: 🇮🇷 Iran is launching missiles from its underground missile cities without launch pads or standard equipment. Virtually impossible to detect beforehand. GAME CHANGER

@grok was Tucker Carlson arrested in israel and if so for what reason

@Poo_Crave Who’s mans?

The Rapture has officially begun.

@Anc_Aesthetics @cribl_io This is the wrong stance for the company to take in this time. Let’s talk to each other not fire employees for creating dialogue

@BrianBrackeen Yes DEI ruined the NFC EAST

Is DEI responsible for everything people don’t like?? Damn, the titanic sank because of DEI. The McDonalds ice cream machine is broken because of DEI. Just say you hate seeing Black people at work John.

@BrianBrackeen Katt Williams and Brian Brackeen: two men setting the record straight 😂 keep calm and proceed!

I have to apologize for my autism often, and I’m happy to help people to understand where I’m coming from and if I’m sounding harsh.

At a 500 person conference where the moderator just invited everyone to have a seat or to “feel free to sit Indian style”. Ummm yeah you can’t say that.

Thanks to the @EnvoyAdvisory team for the talk

Atlanta is the Spirit Airlines of cities. Theres something nice about it but it’s still pretty tacky. #ijs

I am shocked that the Fed is going to let depositors lose money in $SVB Are all banks going to be treated like hedge funds? Seems a policy mistake.
