- All large assets like the Golden Gate Bridge or Atlanta airport or Empire State Building are insured by somebody.
- After 9/11 happened, my company at that time, American appraisal, got a contract from Lloyds of London and their brokers to appraise a list of 200 assets around the world
- I got some assets to appraise and it was a learning experience for me and my colleagues and my company also gained a lot of money.
- I’ve since done many interesting projects and been privy to some very unique assets, and when other appraisers don’t know how to do it, I get called to step in.
- If you want to sell your business in future, you got to focus on two things which are first, that buyers of businesses are looking to buy businesses with consistent cash flow.
- Second thing is that buyers or businesses don’t want to do anything to enjoy that cash flow and therefore want a business that perform on autopilot to a great extent.
- Commercial break
- Strategy session is really where you’re mixing practicality of what’s happening on the ground with your higher level of thinking
- At this point I get to pick the clients that I want to work with, and for me good clients are people who are open to listening.
- Believe in the power of affirmation and meditations.
