    I apologize. I didn't mean for it to come off the way it did. At the end of the day we win or lose depending on what we tell ourselves we're capable of.

    If you keep telling yourself this; you'll end up on your death bed with a lot of regret.

    I understand the struggle, we have three kids under the age of three years old. When we were expecting our first, I faced a lot of what you're going through. Basically how I manage.. I'm up 2-3 hours before anyone else is awake/I leave for my physical business. And sometimes 1-2 hours after...

    How do I stay committed to my decisions?

    Figure out what your end goal is. WHY do you want to be an entrepreneur? What does your life look like as a successful business person? Put your stake in the ground and focus on that only. Stop looking at what everyone else is doing.

    How to change mindset into being more single-Minded

    MINDSET 
    Realize that every day you aren't pushing yourself - you are wasting not only your potential.. but your potential to make an impact on others' lives. Don't think that not caring what others think about you is the way to take. Think about when you're on your death bed and what kind of life you...

    How Do you Know You're Heading In The Right Direction?

    MINDSET 
    What helped big time for myself was starting at the end and working backwards. I visualized and defined what my ideal life looks like and decided that I would do more things that serve that life and less of the things that take away from that vision.

    A meetup would be great, but has anyone ever though of having regular scheduled meetups with a small group of us? I haven't met any of you guys in person but it'd be great to have a group of regular guys meeting bi-weekly.. just throwing it out there..

    Found a top selling product on Amazon that I can sell for less

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    FBA fees take most of it. Something that small is just an add on item that complements a main item that profits more. Take the advice from these guys and read up.

    I retail stuff I get for .50 at $7 and there isn't much profit in it. Good way to learn process but don't think you can go off and quit your job doing it.

    Maintenance, Productivity, and Recreation

    How much time do you spend doing these things? I think there's value in doing every day things, but I personally don't see value in playing games or watching most movies.

    Tithing/Donating to Charity

    Everything we THINK we have is temporary. All of our talents and abilities aren't accidents. It can all disappear. What matters most is helping your neighbor. A year ago I thought the opposite, now I tithe with time and money.

    How to deal with seasonal produce

    Don't bother going to farmers markets or distributors. Find a wholesale terminal. Wake up ridiculously early and go there. Walk around and learn. Meet people. Ask questions. Here's somewhere to start: Tenant Directory SAWPM | State-of-the-Art Warehousing Solutions for Cold Storage and Produce

    New Construction Loan and Building Process

    REAL ESTATE 
    Yup. I negotiated mortgage terms and then wrote a big check to pay off the heloc. One thing to be aware of when the house is done is that you might have lag time for some of your invoices to show up. I had gotten a mortgage and paid off my heloc and a couple months later my GC comes back with...

    New Construction Loan and Building Process

    REAL ESTATE 
    This is where your due diligence is important. You need to find a general contractor that you can trust and can build a quality home and depending on your budget, will only do one home at a time. Generally they're supposed to handle all permits, blueprints, hiring trades, ordering materials...

    New Construction Loan and Building Process

    REAL ESTATE 
    Brakes meaning not blowing your budget out of the water. Which everyone does... because you will encounter costs you never expect! If you get a construction loan you'll have an inspector come in after each "stage" of construction to approve of what you've done and then they'll give you another...

    New Construction Loan and Building Process

    REAL ESTATE 
    I almost got a construction loan when I built mine. I also owned the land. The bank is the one controlling the process. They're the one sending out an inspector. At least mine was. I ended up pulling equity out of other property to fund what I did because I just didn't want to deal with all the...

    Ideas I've had that I haven't got time/resources/interest/knowledge to execute.

    IDEA 
    I see growth in this for sure. Challenges are that there are less small farmers and more corporate large farms. But definitely opportunity. My sister has been working on opening a mexican restaurant in a growing community.. Personally - the title of restaurant owner is probably the last thing...
