Have you ever had one of those weeks (in business) where things didn't go according to plan? It's only Thursday and I feel like my week started off that way. Let me explain...

I just returned from my company advance, and our theme for 2024 is Micro Habits, Macro Vision. As part of the advance, I gifted everyone the book: The 12-Week Year: Get More Done in 12 Weeks than Others do in 12 months. The book provides a focused framework to help us stay on track with our long-term and short-term goals.

Recently, I have been leaving my bubble of Northern Virginia to learn and grow from some of the best in the business all across the US. Leaving the day-to-day of the business "tests my systems" and reveals areas that need improvement. In this newsletter, in 5 minutes or less, I am going to share some lessons I learned on my travels.

I'm in Sunny, Orlando getting ready for the Bigger Pockets Convention and it's the first time GRID has hosted a booth at an event. I have learned that the combination of both of those things helps me perform at my best. The purpose of attending is to expand our BRAND so we can help more real estate entrepreneurs build businesses that set them mentally and financially free! As Jessica and I were talking logistics, we somehow got on the topic of building a brand so I thought I would share why you should be obsessed with getting your brand right.

Let’s get tactical today. You want to start flipping your active income to passive but you don’t know where to start? Or, you are actively building your empire but something is wrong… Your boat has leaks and the leaks are everywhere.

In 2008, I was a recently self-employed real estate agent hustling to make ends meet during the worst economic crises since the great depression. That year, I purchased 1 rental property every month with none of my own cash or credit as the real estate world was imploding all around me. What that experience taught me was that you didn’t need money to make money, instead, you needed 3 things…

We can't run from it. We need to face the truth. We are not doing enough in our business to move the needle in a significant way. Perhaps you are the exception, but for most of us, we know we have more to give. I remember reading Grant Cardone's book, The 10X Rule many years ago and thinking, "What a dumbass book." All he is talking about is doing more, I'm already maxed out!"

I just got back from the Built How Conference where I had the opportunity to hear from Colin O'Brady, Sara Blakely, and Jesse Itzler. When was the last time you dreamt really big? Can you remember the last time you emptied your tank towards a goal? Have you been playing it safe? What does it actually mean to live a "no-limit life?"

Fall is here. I'm sitting on the front porch of our little river house, taking in the sights and sounds of nature. As I prepare for the week, I am reminded of two things: Do more of what's working. Do less of what's not.

I woke up this morning thinking about practical real-world advice on how to help you generate more business. In this newsletter, in 5 min or less, I want to share a quick story that illustrates how powerful a simple Yellow Letter can be for your business.

Last week I was reminded of the importance of playing “all in”. This week, in 5 min or less I’m going to share how to go “all in” so that you can start focusing your energy and mind on the right actions to help you supercharge your business.

I see it all the time, a badass solo entrepreneur that is so awesome at their craft that they are trapped in a job they think is a business because they can't let go.

I’m currently in Austin, Texas learning from some of the best real estate entrepreneurs in the world.

I'm currently at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, CA spending time with my NAHREP family.

25 years ago I helped start a tech sales recruiting business called CMI. I was a recent college graduate from America University with a Psych degree and a burning desire to build something.

Freedom…what does that mean to you? Is it important to you? Are you willing to sacrifice for it? Work for it? Die for it?

My little sister and her two boys are coming into town in a few weeks, and as any good uncle would do, I'm preparing for some serious outdoor adventure with the boys.
