Don’t let someone’s worst moment make you forget they are made in God’s image too. God didn’t stop loving you at your lowest. Don’t forget that when someone else falls short. They still reflect His image, so let’s reflect His love.

I always thought hard work was the secret to success, but I was mostly wrong. Turns out the real secret to success is: Hard Work X Leverage X Time X Luck. Let me explain.. Unless you're a trust fund kid, you've got to outwork most other people to succeed in the world. We all

Beginners are paralyzed to make a decision because they assume the real world works like school and has only one right answer. In reality there are many right answers, with only one wrong answer - doing nothing.

🐻 5% extra (a cheat code for life) Two guys in the woods encounter a bear. The bear charges them. One of the guys frantically looks for a place to hide. The other kneels to tighten his shoelaces. The first guy says, “What are you doing!? You can’t outrun a bear!” The second

Here’s the only thing I need to know about @sweatystartup: Last year, Huber had to get foot surgery after a random accident in a yoga studio locker room. Everyone here told him to sue. His response? “Why would I want to bankrupt a small business over something accidental?” I

The longer I am in biz, l'm convinced that most decisions should be made with 70% of the information. Waiting for until 90%+ is to slow and why most people wait on the sidines. Instead of worrying about making the perfect decision, worry about getting better at course

Forgot to post pre-Christmas, but I have to shout out @joepohlen for putting on an awesome webinar a couple of weeks back. He did a deep dive on the details of his latest ALF deal. So glad to have operators like him in this space who are willing to share their knowledge!!

Twitter is silly, this deserves thousands and thousands of likes. This advice would've saved me so much headache over the last few years
Okay. How did I go from this to easy-peasy uneventful day/week 1s *This is for small business, home service/blue-collar type businesses* Like anything in life, it all begins with the preparation. Here are things that trip people up. Employees Customers Vendors Systems I am a

In 1989 I randomly sat next to a cute girl at college orientation. I mustered the courage to say hi. I’ve been married to that girl for 26 years. In 1999 a friend invited me to try rock climbing. I said yes and discovered a life-long passion. In 2017 while sitting in a board

Something that can be pretty hard to grasp if you’re not from a business family: You generally don’t need anyone’s permission. Just go offer to solve some problems, watch carefully how (potential) customers respond, then course-correct from there.

Before you pick a business partner, read this: – “I know it’s messed up, but you’re out, and we’re doing this anyway.” That sentence is branded in my memory. This is my 100% true story, but names have been changed. Years ago my wife made a new friend, and she asked what her

One of my favorite things is when one of my friends starts a business and calls me up a week later and says “hey I’m kind of in a pickle this problem came up & it doesn’t really seem like there’s a clear right or wrong answer” Yes, welcome to every day for the rest of your life
