I’m doing me
Man…my accounts are so close to being in the minus it’s not even funny. But I’ll tell you one thing…there is no way I’m ever going back to that 9-5 world. This freedom thing is too good, even though I’m just a month and half in. Just having a bit of a cash-flow problem that’s all.
Also, on another front. I’m only half way through “The 4 hour work week” book and I’m already taking more control of my time. I’m more quick to cut people short and get out. For instance, a huge time leech that I’ve recognized thus far is that of property showings. Typically, when I meet with potential sellers they want to go on and on about their life story and why they’re selling and then transition to prod about how long I’ve been doing this and how many houses I have and etcetera (some convo is relevant while the rest is just a useless pry on their behalf). The trick I’ve learned from the 4-hour work week, is to say that you’re pressed for time, even if you’re really not (this isn’t a lie either way you look at it, who’s to say that you don’t have things to do, you may want to stare at the sun for the rest of your day, they don’t know that). So today, I was able to look at a duplex in record time. It only took about 10 minutes. I could tell the owner wanted to hang around and chit-chat, but I told him that I had to skidaddle. And I actually did have another appointment soon thereafter. But it actually felt fantastic to cut out all of the bullshit conversation. Seriously, why do people feel the need for this? I’m actually going to do this more often. No longer will anyone murder me by the minute. I just got back from eating Sushi with my friend and the waiter was very long-winded. If I wasn’t with company, I would’ve told him to beat-it. I felt like he was practicing the rehearsal of his “specials” spiel.
Anywho. I’m really digging Drake right now. This video is so abnormal and really encapsulates the way I feel these days.
