    What is the best process of acquiring SKILLS you have come across?

    PEOPLE SCALING 
    Practice, practice, practice!!!!! Get out and do it. You'll start out by trying different plans and skill sets. As you get better, you'll focus on specific skill sets. If you read, get some books and try out actually doing what they say. You don't gain business skills sitting on your couch...

    I'm better than everyone around me, but not enough to become successful

    OFF-TOPIC 
    That is surely true. I figure when I see someone in a "lambo" the driver is just showing off and probably up to his eyeballs in debt. The word that comes instantly to my mind is stupid! But, I'm not a car person, so expensive cars don't move me. I see them as a money pit that depreciates...

    1. We need to get the well hooked up to the house at our rehab job. I have a man staying there to guard the property and we really need a working toilet on site. My husband is in the middle of digging the deep trench for the water pipe and installing the pitless seal for the well. The pressure...

    My mindset is suffering

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Learn something new every day. Do something for yourself every day. Dream a lot. Write down your ideas. Breath deep. Stop for a moment and look around. Bella, you are ruminating. All it will do is keep you tied up in knots. You won't find clarity until you get some distance and take a long...

    My mindset is suffering

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Dear Bella, I've had a whole list of recent failures. I've tried some things that just haven't worked. I have my base businesses & assets that are my income stream. Yes, I've built a productocracy here, but it's taken me since 3-1-1999 -- when I took this on to save my mom from bankruptcy...

    The war against your self esteem

    NOTABLE! HOT! MINDSET 
    The question to ask is, "Is this the truth?" And then, "Whose truth?" There are many layers and shades of what we call the truth. I think that as we grow older, we get a lot more comfortable in our skin. It doesn't matter if everyone around you thinks differently. It only matters what your...

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Everyone feels that resistance. Change hurts. Changing habits is a pain. Stop fighting. So, take it one phone call at a time. Just keep doing one more. And when you do a few, stop, stretch, and tell yourself how well you are doing. Then do one more. And another. Just one more. One more before...

    The war against your self esteem

    But aren't we also an amalgamation of the people around us -- especially our inner circle? Being a herd animal and part of the group makes us consider the prevailing thoughts and trends of the whole? What do you think?

    I wanna convince my dad to read the millionare fastlane.

    Why? Why are you wasting your time? You can't change your dad. Even if he reads the book, he won't put his heart into it and then put the information into practice. Get up and go on... cheerfully and with great purpose. Be a shining example of what is possible.

    Do it different?

    MARKETING EXECUTION QUESTION 
    After I posted yesterday, I thought of the perfect example of this concept. One of my suppliers makes custom roofing metal. I know that's not sexy, but... He gets rolls of the metal. I call him and tell him how many sheets I need and the exact length. I tell him what finishing pieces I need --...

    MARKETING EXECUTION QUESTION 
    That's what I'm thinking. I don't even think that you would need AI. My smartphone has more computing power than NASA had when they made the moon shot. I bet that the IT is already out there waiting to be tapped. I am also thinking of a situation where we could set up mini-production plants...

    Yes, bragging is one of the common steps in the journey. It also can be a dangerous one. Those flashy purchases can bring the person down. I've seen guys end up in bankruptcy from buying too many toys before they can really afford them. It's an inflated ego getting out in front of good common...

    Ditto. I agree. I buy privately held trust deeds sometimes so I do contact those people directly when I want to make a buy. I have a whole contact system for that little side gig. Even when I was a broker though, I approached this whole exercise differently from what's in this thread. I think...
