Persistence. Last month I finally got in contact with the owner of a very short domain name that I'm trying to acquire. Unfortunately he also happens to be hedge fund billionaire and thus very difficult to reach. After being blocked by his P.A. via email and when I flew from London to NYC, socially engineered my way past security and into his office, I finally got in contact with him, i.e. actual two-way dialogue, by brute forcing his email address. It's a ridiculous story that I'll write a blog post about but not now, I don't want to scupper my chances of getting the domain name. As Woody Allen said, 90% of life is just showing up.
