Are You Too Comfortable?
I had a long conversation with a potential coaching client yesterday. We walked through the usual stuff about where they are now, how they got there, experiences, wins, losses, etc.
Then we started exploring to figure out what is holding them back.
Comfort.
Comfort?
Yep, comfort. They are very comfortable and satisfied with their life. They have no consumer [...]
It’s Baaaaack… (This Blog, That Is)

US Non-Farm Payrolls Shrank by 17,000 Jobs in January.
That is the first time in over 4 and a half years the number of non-farm jobs in the US has declined and it was totally unexpected by the pundits.
But, wait, there’s more! as they might say…
Wages also fell during that time. That is actually good news because it signals inflation pressure may ease in [...]
Looking Forward, This Should be a Good Year for Investors.
Yes, the retail residential real estate market is still volatile and trending down. But, only real estate speculators buy at retail. The investor buys properties based on value and cash flow.

REITs are massively over-sold. [...]

Anyone Can Be An Investor!
But, not everyone should be an investor.
Warning! If you believe the hype of the gurus who say you can make millions starting with no cash, bad credit and a pile of debt…
DON’T READ ANY MORE OF THIS POST! You won’t like it and you will accuse me of being a dream stealer.
You have been warned.

Sometimes It’s Just Fun To Play With Them Like a Cat With a Toy.
Yesterday, I got a call on my cell phone…
Me: Hello, this is Tim.
Caller: Hi! I am a personal mortgage broker and I’d like to see if I can help you save money.
Me: (Annoyed) I already have all of the funding sources I need.
Caller: Are you sure? What if this call was opportunity knocking and you [...]
