The majority of the younger generations blame Boomers & GenX for all of their problems instead of focusing on their own efforts. Many are failing to succeed because of being too bought into the fake social media lifestyle and expectations of instant gratification believing everyone else is rich. They’re not willing to put in the extra work to increase their income, make the sacrifices to live within their means to get ahead or patient enough to wait for a return on physical & financial investments. They don’t realize that most truly successful people got there over an extended amount of time by outworking others, making sacrifices and focusing on their futures. Overnight success is a 20+ year project! 🎤 #mindset #financialliteracy #success

Most of my real estate leads the past 10+ years are from doing this 👇 go.carrot.com/evergreen-work…

@Jacob_Naviaux 💯 scaling can be highly overrated. If you’re cash flowing enough already without the stress and headaches of a team, stick to what works and enjoy your freedom! I actually scaled down a few years ago to having zero employees and still make close to the same bottom line.

Everyone wants to make $1M per year. Few realize how hard it is to go from a few hundred thousand to $1M. Rarely do you see someone doing that as a solo operation. The years I’ve made over $1M, I had a team of 8+ and was constantly hiring, training, and putting out fires. If you can make $500k with no team and minimal stress, I’d think long and hard before chasing the next level.

@GavinNewsom So now tax payers with no children are being forced to buy diapers. 🤦🏻‍♂️

HUGE NEWS: California just became the FIRST state in America to provide FREE DIAPERS to all new parents. Launching this summer. Since I became Governor, we have made preschool FREE, school meals FREE, and expanded paid family leave. Stop talking about lowering costs for families — DO IT!

The people wanting others to pay more in taxes are part of the problem. The problem isn’t corporations or billionaires, the problem is Gov spending. We need to downsize the Gov, finish what DOGE started, eliminate all the excessive spending and then eliminate all income tax, capital gains tax and all the other illegitimate taxes. Go to zero tax on essentials and raise sales tax on all non-essentials to pay the remaining shrunken budget. 🎤🫳

@gentnerdrummond That’s God’s Country! The rolling hills of Osage County.

Sunday update from the ranch. We checked in on the heifers and their calves this afternoon. Everything’s looking good. Happy Sunday, Oklahoma.

@theficouple I bought my first rental in 1997 for $32,500. Today that same house is worth $85,000. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Location, location, location…real estate is always local!

“Invest in real estate” they said…”easy money”🤦🏻‍♂️ Tenant evicted from one rental, took another home back from seller finance after extensive default of payments, sued another borrower who defaulted on private loans, another property has major foundation issues, HOA deferred maintenance issues on another property…just another week in the life as a real estate investor! 😁 #HaveToLoveIt #RealEstate

If you owe someone money and are going to be late on payment, just communicating with the person you owe & making an effort to show you’re trying to catch up goes a long way…no one wants to evict a tenant, foreclose on a property or sue you over money owed, unless we have to. But if you don’t pay or communicate, make payment arrangements, etc you leave us no other option but to seek legal avenues for collection. 🤷🏻‍♂️
