I use a property manager. Just figure in 8-10% of the gross rent for property management and work from there. It really is worth it if you don't like the stress of dealing with tenants. When you have a good tenant you sometimes wonder why you need a property manager because it seems so easy...

Has anybody read Tony Robbins' book Unshakeable? I've read most every other book he's written but haven't read that one yet. I heard that Kim Kardashian-West read it and then had Robbins over to the house to speak with her husband Kanye West because he had lost confidence in his abilities. Kanye...

I hear and see a lot of advertisements and "courses" on getting rich in real estate via flipping properties. It's portrayed as a quick and easy way to get rich. It's really not. I've been involved in real estate for most of my life and many of the flippers I know make good money in the up market...

With fitness and nutrition information I think you need to be sure it's all correct. If it is then let it loose upon the world. I know that in the fiction writing realm a lot of authors use the term Minimum Viable Product or MVP. Once they have an MVP, they publish. It's usually not perfect...

I don't remember who it was that said it but I've kept the saying in the back of mind for years. "You never have true control over your life until you learn to say no." It sounds simple but it's not. It is really hard to forge your own path and say no to things you don't want to do. I've never...

I tried to read the book but it seemed like a long advertisement for his expensive seminars. I enjoyed Millionaire Next Door and the early Kiyosaki books much better. Unfortunately they are all selling much more than the books so they tend to tease you with the books by giving not quite enough...

I stumbled upon the Sleight of Mouth techniques a few years back. They are an extension of NLP and Tony Robbins type methods and are also modeled after Ericksonian Hypnosis. There are 14 techniques that you can use to verbally influence or persuade someone with. I use a couple of them naturally...

This is probably going to sound bad but so be it. After 40 years of following politics very closely, including helping to run local campaigns, and rallying around causes that I felt were important I've decided that none of the causes are really all that important. I realized that all of these...

I've used a number of different methods to try and learn languages, mainly Spanish and Tagalog, but none have seemed quite right. The old memorization way doesn't work well for me and, as Lashley101 mentioned above, always thinking in a translation mindset might be a hindrance also. I'm going to...

I agree completely. When I was in high school in the early 1980's I took an elective class called "Business". There ended up only being about 10 of us in the class and it turned out to be probably the most influential class I have ever taken. The teacher taught us all about checks, credit cards...

I think that in order to pursue "success" you have to have a firm grasp on just what success means to you. The standard definition entails the accumulation of wealth and consumer items. When I was younger I accepted this definition unquestioningly but, over the years, have since discarded it. In...
