I read a news story this morning about an 86 year old gal named Bette who has been working as a stewardess for American Airlines for the past 65 years. And she has no plan on retiring. She loves her work and the people she serves love her right back. Some people might think she’s
Have you ever visited the Colosseum in Rome? We are about a week into our 2 1/2 week vacation and yesterday we took a private tour of the Colosseum. Our tour guide was amazing. In fact, he had the same traits my Probate Fox students have: strategy, wisdom, and cleverness. Over the years working in
I was at the gas station yesterday reluctantly putting another hundred bucks in the tank. As I was sitting at the pump sadly watching the total roll past a hundred bucks, I noticed a guy going talking to people filling up about car wax he was selling. I could see that I was next in
It’s no secret that America has a huge labor shortage. In fact, I saw a huge banner plastered on a Taco Bell down the street from my office that was offering $18 an hour to anyone willing to show up for work. It’s weird though, isn’t it? There was a labor shortage before the pandemic,
I read an article this morning about a 3,200 year old Chinese mummy that was found with pants on. Well, not just pants. It was a woman buried in a poncho, soft leather boots, a headband decorated with bronze discs and seashells, and the earliest known pair of jeans. I’m a bit of a nerd

In December, I received a lead from a woman that is set to
Doesn’t it seem like computers are taking over everything? And a lot of people are losing jobs because of it. Accountants, receptionists, doctors, security guards… all being taken over by artificial intelligence.I just read an article the other day that even taxis and uber will be taken over by self-driving cars soon.And us real estate
On Wednesday, I told you that I got screwed over by someone when they went behind my back to steal a deal from me. The Lord’s Prayer says we have to forgive others or we won’t be forgiven ourselves. That happened right about three years ago and I’m still a little angry about it. I’ve
Unlike most real estate coaches, I actually practice what I preach. In addition to helping real estate investors get started and grow their business, I am an active investor myself. And what I really love about that side of the business is mentoring young people who work for me. Earlier this year I had a
Elon sort of reminds me of Tony Stark from the Marvel universe. I mean he creates all kinds of cool tech and doesn’t care what people think about him or his businesses. I guess that sort of makes his past assistant, Mary Beth, his Pepper Potts. The biggest difference is Mary Brown, affectionately referred to
Last week I was talking about how you should be a thermostat, not a thermometer. Reframing the conversation with your seller is super powerful. And preframing the conversation can actually make reframing even easier. It’s topics like this that I love to dive deep on with my students in my Probate Renegade coaching group. Like
As I was sitting in the jui jitsu academy waiting for my son to finish his lesson, I noticed a banner on the wall that read “Nana Korobi, Ya Oki.” It’s a Japanese proverb that translates “fall down seven times, stand up eight “ It really struck me because it doesn’t only apply to Brazilian
