Today I reactivated McClure Real Estate, LLC. [ mcre ]. Founded in 2000 after an 18 year Odyssey that included Corporate Real Estate positions with the MaceRich Company, MD Management, Excel Realty Trust, and Divaris Real Estate.
In 1995 my premonition that shopping on the internet was going to be popular; Shopwave.Com was founded. Gambling on this deal was an invaluable lesson in modern business treads and a lesson. I learned that I should have used Shopwave to be a better real estate professional and not to reinvent Henry.
Springers were a big distraction too. Tieless shoelaces never were the home run I wanted - In 1993 I pitched springers in-person to Adidas, Nike, Payless Shoes, Woolworth (for all the Kinney Shoe Brands [ all the footlocker and Champs]) and 1,000's of California flea market shoppers that purchased 50,000 pairs.
Pizza Pub is the final distraction and the best lesson into the sheer fabric of my business acumen. I learned if you own a restaurant the only way to fly is to live above your life. To make a living in food services this takes 125% of your time. If the government does not kill dining out (how in the hell do we eat with a mask?) next time tip your server 20% or stay home.
Today is a day we will never have again. Remember in life/business sometimes it is what we "don't do" that saves our life or makes the deal. Never give up on yourself.
