    How to work for 14+ hours a day? Calling the ones who do.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    It's not the number of hours you work that counts in the end. It's your results from those hours. You can fill your hours with busy work that, in the end, means nothing. Or you can make a huge effort to identify and do that one that counts toward your goal. And then do it again. Take the next...

    The Coming AI Job Apocalypse: Entrepreneurship is Your Answer.

    It's been happening for a long time. When I started RE appraising in the mid-1980s, everything was still done on paper with 35mm pictures that had to be developed at the lab. We had moved from electric typewriters prior to computers. Back then, phones had to be answered by real humans. I started...

    One of my best friends (over the last 40 years) is Buddhist. She and I learned the following: 1. The bigger causes you make in your life, the greater resistance you will encounter. And I've had a lot of resistance. 2. The physics rule about actions is in everything. You know the one. For...

    I went back to law school in my early 40s when my first family left home. (Yes, I have a younger family of stepkids who came along later.) I didn't have much time for the other students because of one event. I asked a fellow student what he did, and he told me he was a forensic accountant. I...

    The New Property: Well, we've run into a little problem. I'm subdividing the lot into 3 parcels. We are required to do a soil test on each of the resulting parcels. One parcel will have the building. The other 2 parcels will be vacant. It's all mature forest except for the pad where the...

    Congrats on your Master's Degree. It sounds like you're using it well. I use my degrees every day. BUT, I've never used them the way that the colleges/universities thought I would -- especially my JD from law school. I've used that knowledge in my business life rather than becoming a...

    Do you read it out loud? That works for me. I find a lot of mistakes that way.

    I don't believe that it is "noble" to suffer. I believe that we should thrive where we are planted. And sometimes that location can be changed.

    So why do you call yourself that? (That self-described image makes me cringe.) I have challenges. I have difficulties. I have bad moments. I have had big failures and losses. I grew up hard. I have had serious health problems since my teens caused by that hard childhood. BUT, I have news for...

    Helping is a delicate dance. The person who is being helped must feel that he is the one winning and he is earning that win. He must be in the right frame of mind and ready to take that next step. It's a maturation issue. If he feels that he doesn't deserve the help, he will hate you for lending...

    It's OK to be different. The teens around you will give you a hard time. Simply don't listen. You'll leave them in your dust.

    Preventing school shootings

    HOT! IDEA 
    To me, it's a combination of an emotionally charged, easy target, combined with not finding that kid in dire need. We can make it much harder to do these things. How about an app for specific schools for alerts and emergencies? Who could you include? How about simple hardware on the doors to...

    Then you might cause a problem of being legally liable for anything that someone says that's bad. You must check the local laws. And then there are Federal Housing Laws. Here's the nut of the problem. I'm one person. I have 150 people who live on my property year-round. And during the summer...

    Andy, I'd go one step further. I'd forgive part of a month's fees to get them to change the existing agreements so everything you have is due on the same day. I like the first of each month. I'd have a "Christmas in the Summer" offer to change their due date. To me, it would be worth the...

    You talked about payments. I have all my rents due on the 1st of each month. And I have a late charge that kicks in after the 5th of each month. I have several tenants who have problems getting to town to go to their bank. I offer all tenants the service to do an auto draw on the 5th of each...
