Best way to make more $$, keep more of what you make.

If you own a property and pay taxes on it... You're gonna wanna read this bad boy. (earmuffs govt)

How to apply for and get agricultural tax credits by selling $1500 plants a year?
If you own a home in Texas let's say it's worth $1M.
You're paying almost $20k a year in property taxes. Yikes.

So when my bud Cody told me I'm an idiot and forgot something I listened....

He said you could get 25-75% off your tax bill by selling some leafy greens...
Since Cody is no slouch - he runs multiple 7 fig businesses while hunting something like 200 days a year, my ears perked.

HE HAS IT FIGURED THE F OUT.

*then let us know what we missed* @baldridgecpa since you're the man on taxes!
So here's how I see it:
- You can do this w/ animals but ya know... those are work
- For a nursery you sell $1500 worth of plants a year to get the credit
- Aka not much to turn liability = asset
- could be a whole post on layering rev streams & tax credits on your casa
How Cody's playing it:
- Aspens in Montana (his home) sell for $400
- In Oregon sell for $100
- See if shipping costs/allowances are reasonable
- Then get pre-orders for trees in MT
- Ship when order big enough
- 300% arbitrage
- & write off his VERY large ranch property
How I'm going to play it?
- we're building a tiny house on 1 property
- I'm gonna add a tiny greenhouse ($600 on amazon)
- I inked a deal w/ my mom in law, she's the distributor
- started an etsy shop, she's gonna sell sucky's to the masses
- We need a name - ideas??
Long story short if I can make $20k from growing plants I now pay hundreds for a month... just call me Farmer Sanchez.
Also, we're dropping a thread a day for the next 30 days (generally on cash-flowing business ideas) so make sure to SMASH that follow button so you don't miss ANY of these

Harsh truth:

Running a company is simply a game of prioritizing problems.

Here’s how to become the Chief Problem Solver in your business:
Want to know Elon Musk's "secret" to running Tesla, SpaceX, and 3+ other billion-dollar companies?

According to Marc Andreessen, it's simple:

"He shows up every week, identifies the biggest problem, fixes it, and does that 52 weeks in a row."
Most companies hide from problems:

• They reframe them as "challenges"
• They create layers of abstraction
• They delegate them into oblivion

But problems aren't biohazards—they're your biggest opportunities.

Bigger the problem? Bigger the potential. Image

Opportunity nobody talks about:

Buying unwanted land.

With $10K and 7 days of work, I was under contract for 10 acres in West Texas.

Here’s how I did it (and why): Image
Step 1: Set clear “make or break” criteria

I wanted:

• 10+ acres
• Located in West Texas (near Marfa/tourist spots)
• No restrictions on land use
• Under $10K budget
• Close in ONE week
Step 2: Start searching

I focused my search on land(dot)com looking specifically for:

• Mountain views
• Seller financing options
• Level property (easier to build on)
• Proximity to Marfa (artsy tourist destination)

SBA loans are getting their biggest overhaul in years.

If you want to buy a business in 2025, here’s what you need to know:
First, little disclaimer: SBA rules are crazy complicated.

This is the high-level overview, but ALWAYS double-check info you find online before applying it to your specific situation.

Here are 5 new policy changes that stood out to me:
Rule change #1: Seller financing limits

You can't use seller notes for your entire down payment anymore.

Only 5% of the required 10% can come from a seller note.

And, the 2-year seller note option is going away… Image

This is Bill Perkins.

He's worth 100s of millions, a hedge fund manager, poker player, asymmetric thinker...

And my smartest mentor.

Steal his 7 principles on how the rich think differently: Image
1. You Have ZERO Risk

Most people are afraid of risk because their egos can’t stand looking like an idiot.

I remember being slightly mind-f*cked by Bill's idea that educated people have no actual financial risk.

Listen to him explain it here:
2. Don’t Get Attached To Your Ideas

You need people in your life to give you a reality check from time to time.

One time at Bill’s house, I was in the midst of sharing a new business idea when he interrupted me to ask:

"Has small infected your thinking?"

The system is designed to keep you comfortable, not wealthy.

This financial autopsy of a 36-year-old couple earning $350k proves it.

Look at these numbers: Image
I just analyzed this financial autopsy of a couple in the Detroit suburbs:

- 36 years old
- $350K combined income
- $700K retirement accounts
- $900K mortgage

Looks like the American Dream on paper... Let’s look at the monthly
Monthly income:

1. Wife: $7.2k ($3.6k x 2 per month)

(Salary is $150k/yr. After taxes, her take-home is ~$86k/yr)

2. Husband: $7k - $12k

Total: ~$17k per month Image
