Short-term rentals aren't passive income. They can be systematized. Pricing & messages should be automated. But issues will come up that you have to address immediately.

Naval Ravikant's "How To Get Rich Without Getting Lucky" is 1000x better than Rich Dad Poor Dad

Happy birthday to my Lady! She rescued Bear and Magnus, started Big Little Paws dog-sitting, and is always so supportive of me and our friends. I'm one lucky dawg

We partnered with a local dog bakery to give free birthday cakes to our clients and discounts for their products. It all started because my Lady just asked the owner. Sometimes you don't need a sales strategy or a funnel. You just need to ask.

I'm convinced that the best morning routine is to play with your dogs or your kids. Cold plunging isn't as important.

5 Things I've changed my mind on recently: 1. I wanted to write for "successful" people. Now I use my writing ability for our dog-sitting business. 2. I wanted to have an education business. Now I want to focus on running our dog-sitting business. 3. I wanted to grow a

Thoughts on the BiggerPockets changes?

Everyone says they have a long-term time horizon until the market has a bad day, everyone checks their portfolio, tweets about it, listens to 3 podcasts to consume the news, and then makes a rushed investment decision because of it.

I've paid 0 attention to market news and I will continue to pay 0 attention to it.

I forgot how fun bidding for stuff on eBay is. I just bought 6 of my favorite sports team shirts for the gym for $100. And I negotiated each price down. Win-win for me

I hate yard work. But I let our grass grow too long. It wasn’t a good look for dog owners coming over. I will eventually hire out lawn care, but we are trying to save every $1 to grow faster.

I've completely fallen off X. My social media time is spent on Instagram. It's a much better platform for the dog business. However, I do miss writing online. When I write, it'll be for pure enjoyment. • No opt-in • No newsletter • No course Just for fun.

Yesterday I found a notebook cleaning out my old place. The last note was 3 years ago. • Before I met my Lady • Before Bear & Magnus • Before dog-sitting • Before writing online • Before 2 more properties Looking back on how far we've come hit me hard. There were a bunch

The best part of dog-sitting: Our clients always come back: • The dogs know each other. They become best friends. • They know us. They know how to act in our home. It all compounds

I've been training in the AM while traveling and love the way I feel the rest of the day. Plus, I do one of my most important things of the day right away. I typically like working out later in the day when I am stronger, but it's been worth the sacrifice.

I am getting real sick of cooking, cleaning, laundry, and yard work. It takes up so much time.

My ultimate goal is 1. Have enough wealth to never worry about it. 2. Have an assistant who manages everything I don't want to do (housekeeping, scheduling, etc.). 3. Spend my time doing what I want with who I want. Isn't this why everyone wants to get rich?

Most of our new dog-sitting clients come from referrals. It's growing steadily, but I am open to ways to juice it up (without running ads). I guess this is a good challenge to have.

It's pretty wild that all you need to do to get rich is buy the S&P index fund over 30 years but almost no one does it because it's boring.
