Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?
GOLD! HOT! CHATLast week, I did paperwork. LOTS of paperwork. About 60+ hours of paperwork and I'm hard at it this morning. I swear those little pieces of paper have babies every night while I'm sleeping. It's like they've been taking lessons from mice or rabbits on how to multiply. And I have more of the...- WJK

When I was brokering and bird-dogging, I used that type of info as a farming tool to hone in on my prospects. You could even start an association with a...- WJK

How many Business Failures did you have before success?
NOTABLE! CHATI sure don't expect things to work out the first time I try them. I know it's a long learning curve to figure out how it is all going to work. This is especially true for complicated operations and plans. I try to take it one part at a time and get that aspect working. Then I move on to the next...- WJK

Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?
GOLD! HOT! CHATLast week we were gone on vacation. Work was done while we were gone. We were repairing a leaking roof before we left. The leaks were on a major seam in the metal.

I have a problem with MJ DeMarco (Follow your passion gets a beatdown)
GOLD! HOT!After I left high school, I went to a private college where I worked my a$$ off. And the young ladies who also attended made fun of me. All I did was work and go to school. They told me that I needed to get a life. I was there for my education. They were there to party and their daddies paid...- WJK

I have a problem with MJ DeMarco (Follow your passion gets a beatdown)
GOLD! HOT!I went to my 50th high school reunion last year. I talked to the people I grew up with. I revealed nothing important about myself or my situation. Telling them that I was successful in my life would have caused them to feel uncomfortable. I just asked questions about them. I didn't dress up for...- WJK

HOT! INVESTING EXECUTION REAL ESTATEI agree with you. The "secret" to success is the ability to change directions as you read the changes in the market. And yes, it is an uncomfortable and lonely road. Here's my example. Before Covid, I had a major conflict with the local Landlord's Association. (That group has since dissolved...- WJK

HOT! INVESTING EXECUTION REAL ESTATEI thought maybe he was a wholesaler. So, I asked a long time ago if that was true. No answer. He's sure not a broker, but that would be a good gig for him after putting in all of this work and research. He would have a built-in practice with a readymade lead farm. I just cannot figure out the...- WJK

HOT! INVESTING EXECUTION REAL ESTATEQuestions: Why would you have "lots of competition" at the same time as high interest rates?

Hyperinflation starting? What's happening in your area? Post your ground reports.
HOT! INVESTINGI don't think that the old "war economy" works anymore. Our weapons are too drastic and too far-reaching. We could blow up Mother Earth these days.

Hyperinflation starting? What's happening in your area? Post your ground reports.
HOT! INVESTINGThat's one point of view. Reagan proved that it could also be done through growth and tax cuts. Yes, we need to cut spending. We wasting a large percentage of every Federal dollar.
