I recently met an old friend over coffee.  We had not seen each other for almost 20 years… a long time by any measure.

I was expecting him to have progressed along in his life like everyone else…. steady job, married, 2.5 kids, etc.

But I was blown away by all the things he had accomplished since we last saw each other!

Not only had he built from scratch — and consequently sold for $200,000,000 — his technology consulting firm, he had written and published 3 books, had gotten married and adopted a child, had become an active investor in commercial real estate with a nice sizable portfolio, managed to land and hold several board member positions in various companies and local organizations, and was an amateur golfer on the golf circuits…

He was now working on his next business venture.

That’s more life than most of us can imagine living in two life times!

So how did he do it?  And what does that have anything to do with the Success Pyramid or commercial real estate brokers?
