Some chances change your life. Others just change your calendar. Alexander Laszlo dives into the real difference and shows how to create, sort, and scale opportunities without losing your focus or your energy.
We start with the basics of making your own breaks: proactive outreach to brokerages, earning a real estate school scholarship, and using small wins to build momentum. From there, Alex shares how coffee chats and Instagram DMs led to real relationships with luxury agents, revealing what actually works on the ground. The throughline is simple: go where people already want to talk, ask better questions, and treat every conversation like a seed that can grow later.
Then we get honest about decision‑making. Not every shiny invite deserves a yes. Alex walks through the “yes, no, or yes with time” filter, including a pivotal moment at a watch fair when he nearly pursued watchmaking school with near‑certain job prospects. The logic that kept him in real estate applies to any field: ask whether an opportunity compounds your current path for the next ten years, or whether it’s just a thrilling detour. Strategy beats impulse, and focus creates leverage.
We dig into practical tactics too. Cold calls and door knocking didn’t fit Alex’s strengths, so he doubled down on open houses and events where conversations feel natural. He shares how to move from small talk to trust at a golf course or a comic shop, and why you should choose clients you genuinely connect with. If a connection drains you or clashes with your values, a clean no protects your best future yes. Over time, that clarity turns casual chats into loyal clients and steady referrals.
