    Does Anyone Else Find It Difficult To Converse With “Normal” People?

    HOT! 
    But, aren't those people your customers? There is a big difference between people in your inner circle and the rest of the world. If you cut yourself off from just about everyone, aren't you lonely?

    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    This coming week: 1. Our rehab-flip project: Same as last week. Still working on hooking up the well to the house system. This week we should be able to get the pressure tank installed in the basement and the water hooked up. We're setting up the water system under the first floor. Got the...

    Surprisingly simple stupid businesses- that somehow work

    GOLD! HOT! IDEA 
    I think you're right. People take this all way too seriously. You can take an idea and run with it. See if it works. Tweak it. Change it. Try a different approach. Start small. The main thing is to get your idea out there. It doesn't need to be perfect. Find out what works and doesn't work for...

    Giving out loans

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    A lot of this takes licenses in the US -- both State and Federal. Frank Dodd controls the owner-occupied RE loans. State laws control some unsecured loans. And Federal law controls banking and securities. There are some loopholes that I use for passive investing. I buy privately held trust...

    The missing link of goals

    MINDSET 
    I agree. I always have a Plan B, Plan C, Plan D... So, when things do "screw up", I'm ready. It's called an "if-then" plan for if/or when something happens. Having a plan in place gives me a chance to make a good decision in advance of a crisis. It's sure better than trying to make it in the...

    I have a truism I'm working on. I'm not sure where I got it but it goes like this: If you can afford to pay for the solution, you don't have a problem. I just got a load of lumber this morning using that bit of wisdom. I sprang for the more expensive type because the deck would go together...

    A word about perseverance from Alex Hormozi

    MINDSET 
    I know that if you do not play the game, you have a 100% chance of failing. It's like fishing without putting a hook or a net in the water. Standing on the shore and calling out "Here fishy, fishy" doesn't work. I know that standing around complaining wastes the time and energy you could be...

    Peak Fulfillment - Life After Exiting The Rat Race

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I've hit two of those major milestones over the last three years. At the first milestone, I thought balloons were going to fall from the ceiling. People were going to throw confetti in my path while they danced in my honor. Yes, I know. It was all fantasy. The reality has been a very humbling...

    The missing link of goals

    MINDSET 
    I agree. A goal without action steps is just wishful thinking.

    How many of you play video games?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I play 0 video games. I do play Monopoly with real money -- my money -- every day in the RE game. I don't gamble in casinos because the odds are with the house and against me. I spend my time upping my odds with my RE deals and I almost never play unless the odds are in my favor. In the last...

    Peak Fulfillment - Life After Exiting The Rat Race

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I wandered around asking the same question when I crossed a 30-year goal off of my daily list in 2020. I really never got a good answer. "When you have climbed your Mt. Olympus, what do you do then? Do you climb another mountain?" I've traveled a lot over the years. There was nowhere I wanted to...

    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    Notes on one of my current projects: I just can't believe that our off-site rehab project, a house, is taking so long to finish. I've owned it for about a year and we're not even close to being done with it. I must give myself a break. It's a huge project. When I bought it last summer, I had...

    Discipline and Hardship create Heaven

    MINDSET 
    You are growing up. My mom used to tell me that feelings lie. You can't count on them when you are making a decision. She was right. Doing what feels good gets you broke, fat, and left behind.

    Finance for beginner

    QUESTION 
    Yes, I have reserves for business and for personal. I'm also OCD about keeping my expenses down -- even if I can afford it. But, my analysis has changed. For example: I'm building a new deck on a rental under an awning. Do I use treated lumber or heavily stain regular lumber? The treated...
