    Has anyone participated in fundraising?

    I was approached by a real estate fund raising team after they got a hold of my resume. They are small, but very vertical and know how to show their numbers in plain English. They essentially fund a real estate flipping business, but they really do have the numbers to back it up. They have...

    I am in San Marcos so it didn't affect me. But now we create a smaller, dui/do avoidance app that only runs at peak hours, make sure all the drivers are background and checked out, own the cars out right like zip car, run the app using block chain just like uber, shrink the drive force to 100...

    A ridiculous idea

    IDEA 
    I have a boss at my current slow lane job. He has an actual job working with cable companies to dispatch technicians and to basically enter their data basis and fix things.

    One of many takeaways from TMF

    MINDSET 
    "If you have to do math in your head, you cannot afford it" This may have been the biggest mindset shift from reading the TMF. I used to be that guy.... "well if i just move money from here to here to there I could afford that and yada yada" "well I am getting paid in X days so I can make...

    Diving in, cutting the brake lines

    EXECUTION 
    So after lots of lurking, lots of wantruprenership, lots of crying in my milk about the shiny life insurance gig not being the golden ticket I had expected it to be.

    REAL ESTATE
