Taking Real Estate to the Next Level
I'm asked more frequently to talk about real estate related topics than any of the other areas where I help people to raise capital and structure their businesses. The area where I specialize in real estate is known as real estate syndication.

Growing Your Business: You Become Who You Hang Around
For those of you who have kids, how often do you talk to them about the kinds of friends they make? You tell them to stay away from the kids who do drugs or cause trouble because if they become friends with bad kids, they're likely to get in trouble, too. Instead, you encourage them to make friends with good kids. If they do that, you know that they're more likely to act like good kids.

You Can Do It Too!
This blog entry is dedicated to a good friend of mine, who is part of our current Capital Attraction Accelerator program. Gary has taken our program so that he can learn how to raise capital for his business after he strategizes on all the various ways that he needs to monetize his ideas. After taking the capital portion of the program, Gary called me and said that he wanted to confidentially reveal to me a concept that he's been working on.

Growing Your Business: Look Beyond the Obvious
I recently had lunch with a friend who told me about a business opportunity that was put in front of him. He shared the opportunity with several others in his office and within his network community, and he was told by several people that he should pass it up. Granted, at first glance the opportunity didn't look like a good deal, but when you peeled back the layers of the onion, it was clear to me that this was, in fact, a great opportunity.

Growing Your Business: Don't Fight the Tide
It's amazing to me how many people look at the facts - then chose to ignore them. Frequently, people will see a trend right in front of them. They're sharp enough to spot the trend, yet they believe that they can fight it and swim upstream to accomplish their objectives.

Growing Your Business: You Can't Save By Saving
I regularly encounter entrepreneurs who think they can cut corners or take shortcuts and still cross the finish line the same way they would if they had played it smart in the first place. In my family, we learned when we were kids that taking shortcuts doesn't pay off. In fact, in my family, when someone takes a shortcut in the car, it usually ends up being a "long cut."
