Mark J. Podolsky (The Land Geek) records a short YouTube video arguing there is no single personal attribute that guarantees business success. Using an anecdote about his mentor Orey (who "sold his company for over $300 million"), he emphasizes practicing many behaviors daily (marketing, sales, lead generation, learning, perseverance) and closes with CTAs to his website for raw-land investing resources.

Hey, it's Mark Podolski, the Lane geek. Let's have a another virtual cup of coffee together. My wife knows I love the movie the Big Lebowski, and she got me this coffee cup that says, I'm staying, finishing my coffee, Walter. So for all you big Lebowski fans out there, I thought you'd appreciate that. So I was looking at a blog post about the number one attribute that a person needs to have to be successful. And there are a lot of good answers from a lot of real estate people that have done really well. Perseverance, not giving up, learning how to sell, generating leads every day, working on your business every day, continually learning and training. So I thought, well, why don't I just call my mentor Orey and ask him? I mean, he's super uber successful. He just sold his company for over $300 million. So I called Orey, I said, orey, what's the number one attribute you need to be successful? And he said, hey, good question. And unfortunately, it's the wrong question. He said, look, there's no one attribute that a person needs to be successful. He's you need to be out there every day doing lots of different things, and if you're not doing them, you're not going to be successful. You can't just focus on marketing. You can't just focus on sales. You can't just focus on generating leads. You can't just focus on not giving up. You have to do all those things. Business is hard. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. Everyone would be successful. If there was just one personal attribute you needed to be successful, there just isn't one. I wish there was, but there isn't one. So it's tough. But you know what? That's what's going to separate you from the competition is because you are going to be the type of person that every single day gets a little bit better and is motivated and sticks with it, learns, perseveres and makes offers, closes deals and makes money and works every single aspect of the business to be successful. And so it's not one attribute. It's like 10 attributes. So there you go.
