Detroit's built legacy has a family story behind it.

If you've driven through Palmer Woods, you've probably passed a house built by someone in my family.

Every Detroiter knows the name on the hospital. Almost nobody knows the man.
Dr. Herman Kiefer: 1848 revolutionary, Detroit doctor, and my great-great-great-grandfather. I made a documentary.

What defines ready - when it comes to home buying?

[Jim Blackburn @jimblackburnx]

Are you waiting for mortgage rates to drop before buying?

Waiting to buy real estate?

Fifteen years improving other people's systems.

Every software. Every process. Hundreds of recommendations.

I emailed the CEO of one of the biggest lenders in the country with a fix.

He called my personal cell to cuss me out.

I didn't know a single person who made money.

Not one. Not in my family. Nobody.

My friends all had more than me and I always felt like I deserved that too.

That's the whole engine. That's why I ended up reading a thousand books.

[Jim Blackburn @jimblackburnx]

I didn't meet anyone with real money until I was already working inside a bank.

The thing that hit me wasn't that they were smarter.

It's that they were the same as me. Same person.

They just got on a path earlier.

[Jim Blackburn @jimblackburnx]

So I started over and built my own.

Last three years are the least money I've made in twenty. A real step backwards.

And the happiest I've ever been.

Next week: the eight steps, and why most people only know about two.

The fix isn't a strategy. It's a phone.

Pick someone you helped years ago. Call them. Don't pitch anything.

Ask what they ended up doing with it. Ask how the thing they were building turned out.

You'll get a story. Sometimes tears. Never an unsubscribe.

Everyone thinks this business is about houses.

It isn't. Houses are what shows up on the paperwork.

The actual work is knowing someone well enough to understand what they're trying to build, and then not disappearing once it's built.

The rest is a natural effect of that.

Somewhere tonight, an American Vietnam veteran is awake at 3am.

Somewhere tonight, a Vietnamese veteran is doing the same — across the world.

The forgiveness they need can only come from one person on earth: the soldier they once fought.
