Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. We're under siege. But we should never, ever give in. Much like Britain in the midst of WWII, we've found ourselves fighting a terrible enemy. And I for one, will not give in to fear. I recently ran across William Churchill's speech during this time, and it reinstilled in me this: I refuse to yield to fear. As we all navigate what it looks like to return to work safely, remember that fear should never, ever navigate our decisions. Let's work hard, and if we're going to give in to anything, let's give into service, kindness, and compassion. If you're ready to slowly reenter and get back to work, this one's a great listen to get you fired up and confident for what's to come. Golden Nuggets from this episode: [02:31] “Yes, I'm scared of COVID, we're all scared of COVID like I'm scared of a tiger, but I'm not going to be in fear of COVID, right? This doesn't mean I'm going to be risky, but I'm not just going to be shut up in my home. I'm gonna support the local economy, I'm gonna support local restaurants. I'm gonna support Los Angeles vendors whenever I possibly can, and I encourage you to do the same, but fear shall not be the navigator of this spiritual compass.” - Peter Lorimer [05:18] “Do not let us speak of darker days. These are not dark days. These are great days. The greatest days our country has ever lived. We must all thank God that we have been allowed, each of us, according to our stations, to play a part in making these days memorable in the history of our nation.” - Winston Churchill speech [06:17] “With each challenge, we adapt and we evolve. And if that means we need to wear masks and we need to wear gloves and we need to have social distancing and you know, have gatherings no bigger than two or three or whatever the number is, then we do it. But I have to contribute. I can't just be a wilting flower and watch the world go by.” - Peter Lorimer [08:33] “ I am done being fearful. I will be cautious. I will be helpful, but I will work my ass off as much as I possibly can, even if that means I need to do it remotely for the next six months.” - Peter Lorimer Thanks, for being here, PL
