The Blessings in our Deficits
Blessings Our deficits cause us to start out slowly, allowing others to get ahead and set us up for emotional beatings. They can cause us to hide from life. If we don’t take them personally and deal with them just as constraints we have to deal with, we can convert them into assets. Use these […]
Living Rent-Free – Topics Not in the Book
Just like the stock market, appreciation in real estate has its ups and down, but overall the trend is up. We have a limited amount of land and a rapidly increasing population. More and more people are competing for the raw materials needed to build houses, making them more expensive to build. Investing in real estate requires you learn the market, make good common sense decisions, and maintain good credit.
Your ability to pay rent is power. It allows you to buy real estate and all of the appreciation you gain from it happens without your help if you keep the property maintained. In many cases those increases exceed what the owner would be able to save in their lifetime. In their old age, many people could not afford to buy the house they bought 20 or 30 years prior.

MAKING THE WRITE CHOICE EVERYTIME
As an early adult I wrote two letters to my father encouraging him to be more fun. They were kind and well written. He was a man set in his ways, and since he had been so responsible his entire life he never learned to be lighthearted. He didn’t have that to give. My letters […]
LOVING YOUR LIMITATIONS
The world loves the underdog who proceeds with pride as if he is unaware of his limitations. It makes others more likely to help us. The way we handle our limitations encourages others to get passed their limitations.
VALUING YOU
Best Use of your Time Nobody will hire you unless they can make money from your efforts. So you are worth more than you are paid, right? If you know you’d be a good employee, why not start your own business and hire yourself?
You’re More Formidable Than You Realize
Tortoise and the Hare “Giftedness causes many people to use their talents casually. Thus, those who are less capable but dedicated and focused on the right Plan end up with more security and fulfillment. Don’t give up.” – David A. Dunn
