Using Forms to Free Up More Time
Posted on November 28, 2014 by“What the world really needs is more love and less paperwork.” ~ Pearl Bailey
Welcome to 2015 – I know it’s going to be a great year! And while the weather is cold, what a good time it is to review office procedures and forms to make sure the business is humming along as efficiently as possible. I guess you could call it a kind of pre-spring cleaning. I know, it’s not as good as sledding, but work with me, here.
If you’ve taken any of my courses, you know how much I like to automate. The fewer steps it takes to get something done, the better I like it. Creating a good system of business forms is a big part of automation, especially if I can get forms to share information with each other, or feed data into a spreadsheet. So part of my pre-spring cleaning is to review my forms every now and then to make sure they still make sense.
And let’s face it: There’s nothing more annoying than trying to work with a badly designed form. If you doubt that, get online right now and try applying for a job at some big company. It can be a real nightmare!
Forms, of course, have always been a pain in the neck. The military is famous for them. Heck, the Romans probably had rotten forms, too. Until just a few years ago, there was no relief from bad forms. You were stuck with whatever form somebody handed you. Read More→

Nesting: Warmth for the Winter
Posted on October 31, 2014 by“It doesn’t make a difference what temperature a room is, it’s always room temperature.” ~ Steven Wright
There are certain people who should never touch anything mechanical. My Aunt Effy is like that. She didn’t get her brakes fixed until one of the brake pads actually fell out of her car. She bought a sewing machine and ended up sewing her pants to the wall. And who knew you could do that much property damage with a weed whacker?
So you can imagine our reaction when Aunt Effy decided to buy a programmable thermostat for her home. Heck, we were all afraid she would melt the dog.
Luckily, she got some good advice at the mega-hardware store, and bought a “smart” thermostat called the Nest. Have you seen one of these things? I have, and now I’m a big fan.
Even though the Nest is a programmable thermostat, you don’t really have to program it. Instead, just adjust the temperature the way you like it. Make it warmer, make it cooler, keep yourself comfortable. Turn it down when you leave the house. The Nest will “learn” what you like, and pretty soon, it will adjust itself for you automatically. Nest’s website says this can save you 20% of your energy bill. And since it kind of runs itself, it’s easy enough even for my Aunt Effy. Read More→

Places Count: Your Healthy Office
Posted on October 1, 2014 by“If it weren’t for the fact that the TV set and the refrigerator are so far apart, some of us wouldn’t get any exercise at all.” ~ Joey Adams
As autumn arrives and the summer heat evaporates, it’s a great time to “reset” your fitness routine. Last month, I talked about the importance of taking care of yourself, and why you should do it now. I also told you about one of my favorite apps, MyFitnessPal.com, which is a great tool for building and executing your good-health plan.
But there’s a lot more to getting healthy than just downloading an app onto your smartphone. There’s eating right, and exercising, and yearly physicals, and – well, all the stuff your mother told you to do. And she was right!
But I’m not your mother, so let’s just stick to the workplace. You probably spend more waking hours in your office than anywhere else. Hopefully, you’ve done your best to create an office that’s efficient and comfortable. You’ve got a desk and a comfortable modern chair. Maybe you have a couch. And while you might move around a little bit while you’re working, you probably spend most of the day sitting. For hours and hours at a time.
But hey, you go to the gym after work, so it’s okay, right? Read More→

“Is It a Deal or No Deal?” at BIG on Sept 15, 2014
Posted on September 5, 2014 bywith Don DeRosa, Russ Hiner, Rock Shukoor, Gordon Catts & Dustin Griffin
Many beginning real estate investors are often thwarted by trying to determine if an investment opportunity is a “Deal” or “No Deal”. Some new investors jump on every potential deal that comes along because they are afraid to let one get away. Others can’t seem to “pull the trigger” on a deal because they’re afraid to make a mistake. All new investors face the same challenge: How do you know if you’re looking at a good deal or not?
First of all, what could be a good deal for one investor might not be for another. Establishing your personal buying goals and criteria will help eliminate “No Deals” from your consideration quickly. After that, it’s a matter of knowing how to “size up” a good deal by knowing what to measure and how to calculate your potential profits and expenses.
On Monday, September 15th at the Beginning Investors Group (BIG), we want you to Bring YOUR LEADS (Download Lead Sheet) where Don DeRosa, Russ Hiner, Rock Shukoor, Gordon Catts & Dustin Griffin will pre-screen and analyze them, construct a few potential offers, and call the Sellers and get you an appointment and/or make deals on the spot (time and noise permitting of course).
