There may be more ways forward
than you realize.
What we learn from each other can change what we see as possible. I share real-life examples, practical information, and perspectives you can consider in your own circumstances.
What are we assuming?
Just because advice is popular doesn’t mean it applies to you. Why did it work, and would it make sense in your circumstances?
What problem are we solving?
Before choosing software or changing a process, understand what is actually going wrong. Sometimes you don’t need a new tool.
What should we check?
My first joint-venture deal taught me an expensive lesson about trust. Liking someone and verifying what they tell you are two different things.
Forthcoming Memoir
Cut Out of Closing
I lost more than $100,000 on my first joint-venture real estate deal when I was cut out of the closing. This is my account of what happened and what I learned. It includes 12 lessons for beginning investors.
My main mistake was that I trusted too much. Trust is not a strategy.

I also work with business owners on their systems and invest in St. Louis real estate.
