Spotted while snooping on Google Maps at storage facilities...

Two random people being kind to each other! Image
My partner makes fun of me but you really can get a feel for a town and its culture by driving the streets on Google Maps. Especially the gas stations.

By the time I get to the facility to meet the owner I know my way around town and how it feels. Weird I know! Image
I always check out the businesses downtown. And the amount of people out and about, parking spots taken, etc.

No scientific data here folks. But if you're looking at out of state RE, I think this practice is worth it. ImageImageImageImage
And here we are. 📞 Image

I once made $10,000 in profit in one weekend as a college student with no money.

A thread on how I did it:
It was about 8 weeks before graduation weekend in Ithaca NY in 2012.

I was a senior about to graduate.

My mother was bugging me to help her find a hotel near campus for graduation weekend.

It was for her, my father, my grandparents and my sister.

We needed three rooms.
I called about 10 hotels around campus.

Checked Priceline. There was nothing available at all.

AirBNB was the same.

The closest city with availability was about 30 minutes away.

The life of an entrepreneur can be brutally difficult.

But nobody talks about it.

Time for a stiff drink and a few words on some of the most stressful periods in my life.

A thread.
The thing about being an entrepreneur is that there is nobody you can ask for help.

There is no boss you can call and dish off the really hard problems to.
And there is no track-record or “way of doing things” that is proven.

So you have this constant nagging feeling that what I’m doing might not work and I might lose a lot of money.

High school sports is a different level today.

You can’t compete at most high schools unless you do travel leagues, summer leagues, camps, lessons and dedicate your life to it.

So screw it.

My kids will be average athletes, enjoy the outdoors and will be great at business.

I was a D1 All American. Still hold 3 college school records and 6 high school records.

But it ain’t worth it today.
There are several sports that aren’t even worth playing.

Football is a brain injury waiting to happen.

Swimming is 4am and 4pm practice and 4 hours a day in the pool.

Volleyball and baseball are year round travel sports living out of hotels.
Wrestling encourages 16 year olds to starve and dehydrate themselves - often damaging the metabolism for life.

Baseball is a total waste of time. Insanely low odds and massive time commitment.

Gymnastics damages the body and joints and takes over young kids lives.

A thread on how to turn $100 into a lot more:

Sound silly? Good.

It really is this simple sometimes.

Lets go👇
First, get on your computer and buy a web domain.

Get a freelancer (upwork or fiverr) to make you a logo/flyer and get $45 worth of flyers printed at your local print shop.

Buy a box of sidewalk chalk if you really want to grind and get gritty.
Go downtown with the sidewalk chalk and write “pressure washing and home cleaning 888-555-1234” as many times as you can in high traffic areas.

Go to a middle class or high end neighborhood and hand out flyers on porches and wherever else.

I attribute a lot of my success to running every major career decision through this test from age 20 onward:

Which route will increase the odds of me being able to do whatever I want with 100% my time when I’m 35 yrs old?

A thread:
It turns out, when I really did the math, I didn’t need a unicorn startup.

I needed to stash about $1MM (after tax) by 27 and then invest it wisely from there.

Definitely wasn’t going to happen with grad school or law.

And most normal jobs didn’t cut it either.
So I started a small business with really crappy competition and a sure-bet way to make $250k a year for a few years straight.

The rest is history.

And I achieved my goal 5 years early.

A mindset shift that really changed my life:

A thread:
Walk into every single interaction with the goal of adding as much value as humanly possible.

Don't think about charging money, withholding info, etc.

Prove you know your stuff.

Help in a massive way.

Gain trust. Profit later.
A lot of folks have this mindset of scarcity.

If I give away what I know I’ll lose something and they’ll gain.

Or if someone else makes money, I must be losing money.

The sooner you realize that it’s a plentiful world, everyone can make money and you should share everything.
