Who is planning out their week/weekend and who is winging it? We have a loaded weekend! We purchased a house on seller financing last Friday, aiming to have it renovated within 1 month. We've already made incredible progress! I think we can do it! I'll post pictures when it's done! What are you doing this week / weekend to achieve the life you want?

Over the years, my answer has changed quite a bit...I thought I was going to be a professional reseller for awhile. I had fun with that and made money but it's not my ideal way to sustain myself. I thought I was going to start an Amazon agency, helping people sell better on Amazon. I found out that isn't very fun and is just as much work as selling for yourself on Amazon... I started selling for myself on Amazon and I still do today, but I realized how much I hate running an e-commerce business.. Logistics, operations, manufacturing, marketing, etc. I thought all of these were going to be my ticket to riches! They certainly helped, but I learned what I don't want to do... I started doing real estate about 4 years ago and I found out that it's what I love the most. I love taking an ugly, beat-up property, and making it nice. There's something about taking something that was once neglected and giving it the attention and love it deserves. I discovered Pace Morby just a few months ago and what I've learned since then has blown my mind. The first 3.5 years I was moving at at turtle pace and for the past few months I've been moving exponentially faster. I can't wait for the future! I still have my full-time job helping brands sell on Amazon. That job sustains my family and other businesses, but real estate is the long-term plan... What about you? What is your ideal way of making money? Is it a job? A business? Are you still figuring it out?

You're probably wondering what on earth this is... can you be Emotionally Smart? Emotional intelligence is less about academics and more about street smarts in the business world. It is split into 4 sections: - Self Awareness - Self Management - Social Awareness/ Empathy - Relationship Management/ Social Skills Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand your own emotions and understand the emotions of those around you. Self Awareness is simply being able to understand what emotions you are having right now, and whether you are leading with emotions or with reason. Sometimes in business, and with people, emotions can take over our actions and make things worse... checking yourself at the door means you can choose to handle things more effectively by removing the emotion in the situation and use this to solve a problem, diffuse tension or to look at issues objectively rather than taking it personally. As a Leader, Self Awareness is important because your emotional state can affect the team's emotions and reactions. If you walk in positive and purposeful, it is easy to raise the motivation within your team to get the work done with smiles and joy. If you let the blown tire on the way into work cloud your mind and you walk in angry, your team will not know about the blown tire etc and will be walking on egg shells the rest of the day. Left unchecked, your emotions could lead to snappy comments and you may say or do something that harms your relationship with your team. Self Management/ regulation is the ability to understand you are angry at the tire... but choosing to take an extra minute or 2 to compose yourself and choose to push on and have a good day despite the not-so-good start. It is the ability to receive bad news or top-down stress and choosing NOT to pass the stress on to the team, however, you choose to turn it into a constructive mission to things resolved. Social Skills (sounds like a simple one) - It is picking up on other people's emotions and choosing how to respond. Some people need a word of encouragement, others a space to vent and be heard...

I really want to be a part of a start-up and build something. I do not have the funds but I have the time and I want to learn while at it.
