Married for 16 years with 4 kids in Dallas, TX.

Started 75+ businesses. From $1m - $10m+. Many failures.

Buying 6-8 RV parks per year with investors.

Giving away free content & tools so you can copy me.
Costco sells $200 million dollars of gold every MONTH.

The buyers are not who you’d think.

It’s NOT casual investors or soccer moms, it’s flippers.

Anyone with the right credit cards can clear thousands per week.

I just learned exactly how it’s done and posted the tutorial to YT.

We went looking for breakfast & saw a donut place with 1,200 5 star reviews, so we pulled in.

Line out the door, good sign.

At the register there was a sign to get a free donut in exchange for a 5 star review.

Ethical? Ehh. Brilliant? Yes.

And yes my review is worth $4. TBD.

How is this not a conflict of interest?

I pay Tesla $400/month for insurance. This cost is determined by my “safety score.”

I also pay Tesla $100/month for FSD (full self driving).

My safety score often DROPS while using FSD, thus increasing my premium.

America would be nothing without dudes like Greg.

In 1986 he drove to Texas to chase riches. He taught himself how to work on diesel engines & bought an old truck. Just him & his dog.

Then he started working on oil rigs

My EMBA classmate makes ~$350k/year from people he met in our class. Crazy story.

The program had 28 students and cost $100k. There were 23 "execs" and 5 biz owners, myself included.

My classmate Jeff was a wealth manager, and he paid this $100k solely to network.

Take 10% of your kids' college fund and use it to teach them entrepreneurship.

It will teach skills and plant seeds that will pay out even more than the other 90%.

We put money in savings accounts for a rainy day, but why don't we learn or teach skills for a rainy day, too?

How to start a $1m pool cleaning business in 2 steps:

1. Spend $2,000 buying this FB Group from the moderator.

2. Convert 10% of members at $120/month.

Easy? No. Straightforward. Yes.

*No idea what this group would cost but I’ve purchased 8 FB Groups & this is in range.

One great domain name can feed your family for decades.

Where else would hotels buy their signs from?

Did you know that the world's busiest Costco makes more money than most publicly traded companies?

Over $400 million per year.

And you'll never guess where it's located...

Some mind bending stats:

- Nearly 1 in 4 local residents have a membership here

Me to an employee or vendor:

"Hey did you get that thing done?"

No response for X days, and then: "Yep! Here it is!"

Ahh, so you flaked out and didn't want to respond until you finally did the thing. Got it.

Oldest trick in the book. Don't do this.

We rented an excavator to take out some huge stumps.

The owner gets 100% of his business from organic FB Marketplace posts.

$4k/week! From FB Marketplace!

We paid him $500 to use it for a day, but it only took 2 hours so he picked it up early. Keep it simple!

Turns out 40 feet is really really big.

I’m gonna need some friends to help me stand this bad boy upright.

The HOA is already furious.

Here’s a secret the productivity gurus don’t want you to know:

The more you context switch, the more you get used to context switching, and the faster you can context switch without skipping a beat.

Our minds adapt.

Context switching should be all or nothing. For me, it’s all.

Here's why this is an amazing business idea:

- People are nostalgic about cars, any make or model

- This is very heavy, which is actually a good thing, because of the price point.

You can palletize and ship it around the country for $250 - $600.

My mind cannot comprehend the risk tolerance of spec home builders.

This house is going up near me.

The style does not fit the area and the price per square foot is 2.5x above market value.

Despite being a serial entrepreneur, I would never ever take a risk like this.

THE BEST WAY to learn about:

1. Niche small business ideas

2. How saturated (or not) an industry is in your market

Is to post a small warehouse for rent on FB Marketplace.

Don't own one? That's fine. Post a picture of one just to learn.

I open FB marketplace and see a wedding arch for sale for $100.

I then Google “wedding arch rental Dallas.” and see they cost $500-$800 per wedding to rent.

Then I search the entrepreneur subreddit and find a full business plan for the wedding arch rental business.

This is a brilliant restaurant concept:

Round up 4-8 local, well-known restaurants, license their best 4-5 recipes and serve them all under one roof.

Similar to a ghost kitchen and a food hall, but not either one of those entirely.

Well that's crazy.

I'm buying raw land here in North Texas and found this chart from Texas A&M.

Acreage here has been up and to the right for 50+ years, except for a 20% dip in '08.

6.8%/year growth. I'm under contract on 47 acres outside of DFW for $670k. I like my chances.

These are my 5 favorite business ideas of the week:

1. An agency or tool to capitalize or automate pinned comments with links below FB Reels.

2. Offering a done-for-you programmatic SEO website as an alternative to buying a franchise.

"Ideas are cheap. Only execution matters."

Ehhh sure. But here's the thing: Many people don't even have ideas. Here's how I look at it:

- Bad ideas are better than no ideas

- Bad ideas lead to good research

- Research leads to learning about good launch plans, tools and strategies.

Google Workspace is the world's shadiest onboarding experience.

$17/month per email at signup with 14 days free. No other pricing options available...or so it seems...

Unless MAYBE you find your way to the downgrade section to the $7/month plan. Which no one thinks to do

Anyone lose a 35k Rolex?

We went on a jungle tour in Puerto Rico yesterday.

The tour guide said he makes more money finding lost Apple Watches and iPhones in the river than from the tour revenue.

He found a $35k Rolex once (no papers). Showed me pics of hundreds of watches.

Proof that print ads still work--

6 years ago I posted a classified ad in the Dallas Morning News print newspaper looking for RE investors.

4 days later Bob showed up at our office wearing sweatpants & carrying his 80s-era briefcase.
