    Finance for beginner

    QUESTION 
    The first thing I do is figure out my "fixed" expenses. That's the rent, insurance, and other regular expenses that occur usually monthly. Then there are the "variable " expenses which go up and down. I usually figure out an average of my projected expenses. Some expenses vary seasonally so...

    A clown? How do you want us to answer you? What can we say to your posts? Did you read your posts before you posted them? What tone were you trying to set? I started to tell you that I didn't understand your post at all. But, that's not true. You've described yourself and your life pretty...

    Looking to get into high ticket sales.......

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    How can you start without a field or product? Have you ever been in sales? Do you know how? How are your people skills? It sounds to me like you are starting on Ground 0. You are not even close to the point where you need to look for clients. How about some skills and a business/career...

    Doctors ,Electrical engineers and starting your own business

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I would go get my degree and make all the contacts you can while you're there. Get your license for your invention and start working on the next one and/or an improvement to your current one. Working in a field for a couple of years sure won't hurt you. You can work on your side gig while you...

    Please help me get unstuck between computer science and mechanical engineering.

    IDEA 
    I'm hearing you say that you need an engineering degree to work in your family business. Is that correct? For me, that would be the lynchpin in the decision. And you can study computer science also.

    How to deal with wanting to do so many things at the same time ?

    MINDSET 
    Grace does not fall on you. It is earned one painful step at a time. I wish there was a shortcut. But, I can also tell you that each step also had a silver lining. There is a peaceful joy in the journey. You get so comfortable in your own skin and you lose your fear of the world. Your...

    I have been in RE for 47 years. I mentor several people. No, I haven't written books. Yet. I've thought about it, but I'm busy working on my RE. Yes, I am successful in my mind. I have gone further and done more than I ever dreamed was possible. "Lots" of money is relative to your...

    How to deal with wanting to do so many things at the same time ?

    MINDSET 
    You can. Most people don't. They stay in the 90% and don't join the 10% club. I went to a Fashion College and got my first degree (I have 4 including my J.D.) in Merchandising. -- which is marketing and business. I was the only married woman there. The other "girls" had daddy's money behind...

    How to deal with wanting to do so many things at the same time ?

    MINDSET 
    If you struggle to build a business, there will be plenty of hardships for you. There will be a lot of uphill challenges along the way. You will gain skills and the tough grit you need to make it all work. It will make you or break you. I've failed many times. I have made fortunes and lost...

    How to deal with wanting to do so many things at the same time ?

    MINDSET 
    You cannot force what I'm talking about. It would be like faking a smile. It's the energy that puts you in the flow. It propels you forward. It's a fire in your belly that drives you to learn new things and do hard stuff. It is NOT something that you create by willing it to happen. You can...

    How to deal with wanting to do so many things at the same time ?

    MINDSET 
    You aren't hungry enough to push you along. You don't have a defined work ethic to fall back on or that fire in your belly. Your current excuse is that you are only 20. What happens when you're 30? Or 40? Then in no time flat, you'll be 50. But, it's your life and your choice. So, enjoy your...

    I got back from my vacation. Rested a lot. Had a good time. 1. At the rehab project -- the water line is in. We're installing the pressure tank. No water is connected yet. Hope to have the water hooked up to the house plumbing this week. The area for the slab for the carport is just about...

    MINDSET PEOPLE CHAT 
    I too have been contemplating this question for all of my adult life. What really confounds me is why others can watch the process, and then be totally blind to it. (But were they really watching or just taking up space?) They made fun of me when I was young. They told me to get a life while...

    Advice on hiring sales person

    MARKETING 
    I do the same with tenants. I use month-to-month rental agreements rather than leases. Within 3 months, I know who they are and if I want to keep them as tenants. It takes that period of time for them to really reveal themselves. Most "bad" guys have great facades, but they can only keep that...

    How can I find my "Lambo"?

    HOT! MINDSET QUESTION 
    I am hearing you say that you are afraid of the economic situation in Argentina. You don't feel secure enough to build a business there. So, you want to leave and find another place where you think it will be a lot more stable. And that's a lot more of an urgent issue. Am I hearing you right?

    How My Attitude Towards Leadership Held Me Back For Decades

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    That's the kind of leadership I was talking about in my post. You must let your people go through the learning curve so they can make better independent decisions in the future. That's how they become good at their jobs and function well as a team. And it frees you up so you can do your job...
