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

How to figure out if your business idea is any good in 5 minutes or less:
A while back I had friend in Athens tell me that he wanted to start a house painting business.

We were sitting on my back deck drinking a Keystone light on a random Saturday at about 4pm.

He asked me what I thought.

I went to work.
I typed "House Painting" into Google Maps on my phone.

10 results popped up nearby.

I hit "call" on the first one.

A guy answered on the second ring. He was nice.

He told me he could come to my house anytime on Sunday or Monday to give me a quote.

How to get rich without getting lucky:
Find a way to make $100/hour doing something simple IN YOUR TOWN.

Do it until you have $10K+ in the bank & you’re too busy to sell new customers.

Hire employees for $20/hr to do what you do so you can sell new customers.
Look at the market unemotionally.

It’s not about you and what you love doing.

Don’t try to reinvent the wheel.

Look at competition as a sign that there is money to be made here.

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.
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.

There are a lot of underrated skills in this world.

Attributes that aren’t openly discussed but are widely shared by the most successful among us.

Here's how you can increase your chances.
Knowing what advice to take (and what to ignore) is a superpower.

My method:

Take it from anyone.

Weigh it according to how happy / successful the giver is.

Put it through my bullshit meter.

Do the work to apply it to my life.

Ignore 75% of it.

Cherish the rest.
Energy and excitement are underrated.

If you aren’t excited, even the most lucrative tasks can seam pointless.

The grass is always greener. Every opportunity has 10 really good reasons why it will fail.

Energy > competence.

A mindset shift that really changed my life:
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.

In 2021, I worked on a career-defining $75M self storage deal that could have generated tens of millions in enterprise value for my company Bolt Storage.

But we lost it to a competitor...

It hurt!

Here's what happened:
The deal was for a 20 property portfolio (750K sq ft.)

The owner's brother-in-law follows me on X.

They wanted to sell their portfolio, so he called me to visit the properties to discuss buying them.

I went & loved the properties. I spent 4 hrs discussing the deal.

Why?
I knew the properties were worth more, especially if my team & I ran them for a few years.

So I talked to a few LPs & bankers to finance the deal, & made an offer (close to their asking price).

I was pumped. The deal would be my biggest & best yet. I thought I had it.

But,
