Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?
HOT! CHATWhat I'm saying is, who can you talk to in person? Who will answer your questions, and what can you do for them in exchange? This is not about billing a customer -- this is about making a human contact who you will talk to over and over again for, hopefully, the next few years. You help them...- WJK

Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?
HOT! CHATPersonally ask them. Have you done any face-to-face contacts? Do you know anyone you are trying to help? If you don't, who are you trying to help? Yourself or them?- WJK

Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?
HOT! CHATIt's true. Most people who say they tried -- they failed before they started. Even if they got it off the ground, most businesses fail within 5 years. Usually, its death nail is operator error or lack of capital. I try to figure out why they failed and what I can do better. Business basics...- WJK

Starting two ventures (short-term and long-term)
EXECUTIONYou can get a lot of the appliances for free. Be the "go-to" person to pick up appliances that aren't working. You can also make a deal to meet the installers of an appliance seller to pick up the machines being replaced. Many of them remove the old machines, and they must dispose of them. They...- WJK

Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?
HOT! CHATThanks for telling me. I'm in the USA. I have an adopted son who is 54. My husband and I plan to buy him a food truck in the next year so he can have a side gig. I understand what you are saying. Everyone is afraid that someone will steal their idea. It's not as easy as it sounds. Just start...- WJK

HOT! CHATThe New Property: We’ve been clearing off a lot of junk and debris. I called for another roll-off, 40’ dumpster, that is designed for scrap metal, about mid-week. We filled it up and had it dumped Friday morning. By afternoon, we had it full and dumped again. The trails we cut in the woods have...- WJK

How to work for 14+ hours a day? Calling the ones who do.
MINDSETIt's not the number of hours you work that counts in the end. It's your results from those hours. You can fill your hours with busy work that, in the end, means nothing. Or you can make a huge effort to identify and do that one that counts toward your goal. And then do it again. Take the next...- WJK

The Coming AI Job Apocalypse: Entrepreneurship is Your Answer.
- AI -It's been happening for a long time. When I started RE appraising in the mid-1980s, everything was still done on paper with 35mm pictures that had to be developed at the lab. We had moved from electric typewriters prior to computers. Back then, phones had to be answered by real humans. I started...- WJK

How do you stop self sabotaging for good?
HOT! MINDSETOne of my best friends (over the last 40 years) is Buddhist. She and I learned the following: 1. The bigger causes you make in your life, the greater resistance you will encounter. And I've had a lot of resistance. 2. The physics rule about actions is in everything. You know the one. For...- WJK

HOT! CHATI went back to law school in my early 40s when my first family left home. (Yes, I have a younger family of stepkids who came along later.) I didn't have much time for the other students because of one event. I asked a fellow student what he did, and he told me he was a forensic accountant. I...- WJK

HOT! CHATThe New Property: Well, we've run into a little problem. I'm subdividing the lot into 3 parcels. We are required to do a soil test on each of the resulting parcels.

HOT! CHATCongrats on your Master's Degree. It sounds like you're using it well. I use my degrees every day. BUT, I've never used them the way that the colleges/universities thought I would -- especially my JD from law school. I've used that knowledge in my business life rather than becoming a...- WJK

How do you stop self sabotaging for good?
HOT! MINDSETSo why do you call yourself that? (That self-described image makes me cringe.) I have challenges. I have difficulties. I have bad moments. I have had big failures and losses. I grew up hard. I have had serious health problems since my teens caused by that hard childhood. BUT, I have news for...- WJK
