Financial Freedom One House At A Time
Think hard before killing your goose I’d like to tell you about one of Aesop’s Fables. It is one called “The Goose and the Golden Egg.” It’s a great story and it goes something like this: There once was a farmer who had a goose he visited every day. One morning, he went to see the goose and noticed it had a glittery, golden egg laying in its…
As I write this, I am sitting in the Destin area of Florida in a town called Miramar Beach, and today has been the best day of our vacation. That being said, getting here wasn’t easy. The last workday before left was beyond full. I left the house at 7 a.m. to make my first stop at the Calhoun Home Depot to pick up a large order for…
Oh B-1 can no beat. That title was supposed to sound like the Star Wars character Obi-Wan Kenobi. Yeah I know it’s a stretch, but bear with me. The reason I chose that title is because B-1 is the lot number of a Lonnie Deal we have down in Acworth. And I want to tell you about it because, to reference Star Wars again, “the force is strong…
I’m a firm believer in chiropractors, and I’ve been going to them since I was 5 years old. During that time, I have witnessed them do some remarkable things. I’ve seen them break fevers, stop vertigo, heal migraines and much more. One of the biggest of these things happened to me in Calhoun with Doctor Max Proctor. When I was 16, I was diagnosed with tendonitis in my…
Ashley and I went up to Kentucky to see her side of the family for an early Thanksgiving. It was great. Her Dad lives in Pulaski County, and the mountains there are just beautiful. We spent our time riding the kids through those mountains on four wheelers and visiting with family we see only a few times a year. We came home the day before Thanksgiving. Traffic…
My son just had his fifth birthday and consequently came into some money. To a 5 year old, $30 feels like a fortune. As we were riding in the car one day, Seph began to contemplate what he should do with all that cash. At 5, he already knows to tithe. But he questioned what he should do with the other $27. He asked me what…
Here’s my current situation: I’m in Fort Walton Beach Florida. As the waves roll in, their sound makes a constant yet subtle roar that I’m sure was designed by The All Mighty to soothe the soul. The bleached white sand gently tapers down into clear, light blue water that mixes with varying shades of green as you move deeper into the Gulf of Mexico — I now understand why…
I was recently invited to a mastermind meeting that had some pretty advanced investors in the room, one of whom was in the habit of buying tax liens – these are liens counties put against properties when homeowners don’t pay their property taxes. Counties do this so they can sell the liens at auction and recoup the funds they didn’t collect from the homeowner. This is called a tax…
I’ve been listening to a phenomenal book called “Mastering the Attitude of Achievement,” by Lou Tice. I’ve got to tell you, I wish I’d found this years ago. Lou is a motivational speaker, high school teacher and football coach. One of the main points in this book is that the pictures that we formulate in our heads affect what we do in life. Lou gives a great…
As I write this I’m 15,000 feet in the air, courtesy of Delta Airlines, somewhere between Atlanta and Springfield, Mo. I’m on my way to go see one of the strongest and bravest people I know. Her name is Kaleigh, and she’s my little sister. What makes Kaleigh so brave you might ask? She’s fearless. Well that’s not true. She frets on the inside just as badly as…
