Sustainable success comes from a place of selflessness, not selfishness.
Jonathan Keyser is the founder and thought leader behind Keyser, a world-class commercial real estate advisory firm. When Jonathan first started his career in real estate, he was ruthless; he was a shark. This was because everyone else in the industry was a shark and he thought that’s who he needed to be in order to succeed. Boy, was he wrong! After years of being unhappy, he decided to make a commitment to turn his business philosophy and his selfish attitude around. After 5 years of working at it, his business exploded to new heights and he was fulfilled on a much deeper level.
