Over the years, Victoria’s Secret has become the largest lingerie retailer in the United States. It has become an iconic brand with annual fashion shows that feature models dubbed Angels. But it wasn’t always this way. The story of how they manufactured their success is worth a quick study. The way they market their international
Did you hear about the huge 2 billion dollar lotto jackpot that was won last week? The gas station where the winning ticket was bought from was right in my back yard. Joe’s Service Station is three and a half miles from my house! I think it’s pretty neat and crazy all together that I
Freedom is a word we throw around without much thought. But it has been purchased for us at a price. And it’s a price that most of us didn’t have to pay. Freedom has been purchased at the expense of the brave men and women who have freely given of themselves to defend our country.
Did you get out and vote yesterday? I did but every time I do I feel like I sold a small piece of my soul. Don’t get me wrong, I have strong faith and strong convictions and I use those two things to guide who I vote for. But I just don’t believe what most
During the webinar I presented last week, I mentioned a probate house that I purchased that had thirty grand hidden inside. It’s crazy what people leave behind. Some investors use these treasures to fund their flipping business. Over the years I’ve paid for a lot of lavish family vacations with these funds too (my favorite
Yesterday I attended a conference to listen to Dennis Block speak. If you’ve never heard of Dennis Block, it’s probably because you don’t own rental property in Los Angeles. He is an attorney who will help you evict squatters, unwanted occupants, and bad tenants. He’s not the only attorney in L.A. who provides these essential
A couple of weeks ago I got together with one of my higher-level coaching groups. In addition to some learning, we also had some fun. My future son-in-law, Luke, is a master pizza chef. I was able to convince him to teach us all how to make our own pizza. Everybody got their own ball
A couple of weeks ago I told you about how experiences are so much more powerful than gifts. The Vargas family celebrated my youngest daughter Rebecca’s 14th birthday this weekend. Instead of wrapping something in a box, we created a city-wide scavenger hunt for her where every location had an event or challenge to complete.
This past week one of the members of our Probate Real Estate Mastery Facebook group asked about searching the obituaries for probate leads. This is a question that requires a thorough answer so I decided to kick off Thursday’s free Probate Essentials Q&A call by digging into this question. I know if one person asks
Growing up in the 80s, I couldn’t help but be a huge Star Wars fan. The story of a fledgling republic fighting against the tyrannical empire captivated me. The groundbreaking special effects amazed me. The ensuing decades and questionable prequels and sequels haven’t dampened my enthusiasm. Then I heard about two bakers in Benicia, California
This past Friday I spent the afternoon with one of my Probate Fox coaching groups at a beach house in Laguna beach. Zoom meetings are ok, but there’s something special about getting together in person. The house we met at belongs to Mitch Albom. Well, it’s not really a house. It’s a beautiful four-story estate
On Wednesday I mentioned the book, Die With Zero. I’ve always said that real estate, especially probate real estate, is the best business to be in. If you learn the ropes and do it right, it can give you all of the personal and financial freedom you’ve ever dreamed of. But like I said on
