I don't know, six, seven years old up to Sundance with me and Barry.
And we went and sat with Bob in the Sundance Lodge.
And they really hit it off.
And we packaged the natural that day right there.
Then we put Kim Basinger and Bill Brimley and Glenn Close, three other clients in.
And then we got it financed.
And the rest is history.
It was a huge hit.
Well, I mean, over the years, as a...
person who's in the business of giving advice, which even though I'm not an agent anymore, I still find myself doing that constantly on a daily basis for people that are friends or former clients or people I'm in business with.
Looking for another point of view, I get that call.
And in the course of those discussions,
More likely than not, people are – their first complaint is usually about an associate, then about a deal gone wrong, and then about not liking their job.
And I'm a huge believer that you have to do what you love doing.
I mean, right now I'm doing something I can't wait to get up every morning.
So if you can't feel that way, you shouldn't do the job or you should look for another job or you should ask yourself why you're not happy in the job if you were at one time.
So there's a whole pilot's checklist to look at if that's the case.
And it's important because if you're fighting going to work during the day, you're not going to perform to your capacity or potential.
And you're not going to be exceptional.
Well, you're not going to stand out.
