Oh my goodness. I’ve done the unthinkable. I’ve written a blog post, after a many-month absence.
I realize this comes as a shock. If you need a moment to process, take your time.
Okay. Here we go.
So.
I’ve been quiet around here, so first I want to let you know I’m still alive. […]

We’re renovating House #2, and we’re coordinating everything — from demolition to final clean-up — […]

Last month, I tracked my time in 15-minute increments for a week and published the humiliating results.
Afterwards, I opened this email from a reader:
“You gave me a realistic view of what life might be like when I become an entrepreneur -– I could potentially face some of the same challenges that I […]

Imagine that you spend 45 hours per week at the office — 9 am to 6 pm.
You commute 30 minutes each way, leaving home at 8:30 am and returning home at 6:30 pm. You also spend 30 minutes each weekday morning “getting ready” — showering, dressing, brewing coffee.
You spend another 30 minutes […]

Last month, one of our rental properties looked like this:
Today, the same property looks like this:
Renovating this rental property took three weeks, cost $13,648, and increased our rental income by $3,450 per year. We worked roughly 38 hours, spread across those three weeks.
