Q&A
How do seasoned investors decide what to do next when they've plateaued?
It's more important to *decide* than what you decide. Focus on what excites and energizes you, then reverse engineer a plan.
How do you make goals realistic and not too aggressive?
Ensure your goal is "out of reach, but not out of sight." Create a reasonable plan and seek advice from others.
How does one afford the Better Life Tribe coaching program?
Set a goal to increase cash flow to cover the membership cost. The program's value should exceed its cost.
What resources and tools have you implemented for homeschooling success?
Initially, a purchased curriculum; later, a co-op model with a professional teacher.
What are your thoughts on making money with ADUs?
ADUs are phenomenal, especially in expensive markets, significantly increasing cash flow.
