Something I’m Reading
Still working through the Red Rising series, and on "Morning Star" right now. Can't recommmend this fiction series enough.
Something I Photographed
The burger at Monkeypod… So good. Next time you go to Maui or Oahu, be sure to get one. (Had my date night with Heather last night.)
Something I’m Excited About
Pumped to introduce the new "reiOS system" to the members of The BetterLife Tribe on Thursday. This is a system designed for solo-and-small-team real estate investors to achieve their personal AND real estate goals. It's based around 6 Principles, and I've been building this for over a year. This Thursday, at 6pm EST, I'm doing onboarding for all Tribe members, so if that's you... try to make it!!
Something I Can Answer
I’ll be answering two questions asked by a BTB subscriber. Have a question you want me to answer? Reply to this text with your question!
Question: "If you had to define your purpose in one sentence, what would it be?”
My purpose is to show others that life is meant to be lived abundantly, with intention, and with a purpose.
Question: "What is/are the most cost effective ways to add value?”
Adding bedrooms, at least when you go from a 2-bed house to a 3 or 4 bedroom house... huge value created there. Also, just making it look nice (inside and outside) can really drive the value. But my favorite way to add value? Take a property that STINKS and make it smell nice. Oil-based primer can cover almost all nasty smells :)
The REI Summit is just around the corner and like I mentioned before, this is the most actionable, HOW TO, real estate conference for both new and experienced investors. You’ll learn tips and tricks from some of the greatest in the business like Ken McElroy, David Greene, Aj Osborne, Kathy Fettke and so many more.

Something I Recommend
I was always envious of the people who are “ON” 100% of the time. The people who don’t deal with low motivation, doubt, fear of failure, or those endless days of thinking your whole entrepreneurial journey is about to blow up in your face. These people were running circles around me in business and real estate and when I finally figured out what they had that I didn’t – It all made sense.
These people were using a Mindset Coach to keep their eye on the prize and expose them to a higher level of thinking every single day. So when I went to find one of these coaches specifically for real estate investors, all roads lead to Jason Drees. Jason has been coaching me for nearly a decade at this point and has supported my growth from a small time investor to someone with nearly $1B worth of assets under management.
If you’re looking for an edge to accelerate your growth, talk to Jason. You can get a FREE coaching session through this link.
For my health-conscious friends (or those trying to be healthier), I’ve been using MyBodyTutor for years for accountability on my fitness and diet. These guys assign you a coach to hold you accountable, track your food, suggest exercises etc. You can check them out here.
