Would you consider yourself a planner? Many, like Kenji, don't see themselves as planners. In fact, research has shown that people with Kenji's personality type actually struggle with planning. The reason is, his personality is a go, go, go-type personality. He's constantly getting sh*t done, so stopping to plan feels like waste of time. However, over the last 3-6 months, this has a...

One of the most common laments we hear is "I just don't have enough time for this stuff."

Check it out and see if adopting something similar can add time to your day as well. Have someone who you...

Short-term rentals (STRs), also known as Airbnbs or vacation rentals have become increasingly popular over the last few years. This interest spiked during the COVID pandemic, and despite a recent slowdown, interest continues to be strong in the post-COVID era. We have seen the same trend in our groups. Three years ago, very few in our community were talking about STRs. Now, we see the vast majorit...

On top of the that, governments enacted eviction moratorium, which prevented owners from evicting these non-paying tenants. While COVID was unprecedented, these challenges aren't unique. These same cha...

But the reality is, we don't! It might seem l...
