It seems like if you are an A+ player at any company right now you can go to a competitor and double your salary

There’s one owner, who for some reason I have his birthday attached to his vCard, been sending him happy birthday texts for 6 years, I’m now in a seat that I can’t do any biz with him, but I also can’t stop the bday texts

Crazy how good Walmarts ecom experience has gotten while Amazon’s has rotted itself out with cheap knockoffs

Interviewing people 8 to 12 years into their career the only filtering question whether they’ll work hard or not is whether they worked remote after Q3 2020

The origin story of every hard money lender
So dumb. I wanted simplicity in life and thought passive income was the way to get there. After all, what couple be simpler than opening your mailbox and cashing a check. So, in my pursuit of simplicity, I added a stupidly amount of complexity. Real estate, mortgages, insurance companies, tax payments, tenants and leases, income and expense tracking, maintenance and repairs, accounting, asset protection / estate planning, etc etc. Such a colossal headache. Dang. I fell for it. Caught myself in the trap. I’m now optimizing for simplicity. Free time and space to create and be with family and friends. Go to work. Work out. Be with family. Read. Take photos. Learn to surf. Travel. Make simple to manage investments…or not. No stress.

Companies are really enjoying getting rid of middle management and replacing them with player-coaches right now. Pay someone 25% more, make them do 2 jobs.

Higher interest rates actually *means* cheaper insurance
Interest rates are “higher”, but do not let your insurance broker bully you right now. Just renewed over 900 apts at a 35% discount to last year’s premium. Insane drop in insurance premiums in 26 going into 27. If your broker comes back with an increased renewal, I’d fire him.
