@CreateNotesOnRE Depends on cash flow and overall goal. Grandpa taught that bare ground was a bad investment. He was trying to make a monthly return.

When I was younger, I was watching a baseball game with my dad.

They were talking about Tony Gwynn.

The announcers couldn't stop talking about how incredible he was.

A career .300 hitter.

I remember looking at my dad and saying...

"I hope I can be like him one day."

He looked at me and said something I'll never forget.

"Son, the less evidence you have, the more you rely on hope."

Then he said...

"Our job isn't to hope. Our job is to build the evidence."

So we made a plan.

Not just a dream.

A plan.

We started with the big goal.

Then we worked backwards.

-A yearly plan.
-A season plan.
-A monthly plan.
-A weekly plan.
-A daily plan.

Every swing.
Every sprint.
Every workout.

Every day we were building evidence.

Evidence that I was becoming the player I wanted to be.

Because here's one thing I've learned:

Confidence doesn't come from hoping you'll succeed.

It comes from collecting enough evidence that success becomes expected.

@AJTarHeel247 I remember hearing it in the car, awful, sad news to a 10 year old kid that loved the Celtics. Len was amazing.

@SleeperVikings He was a good enough basketball player to get minutes at UND as well. Not much fun boxing him out.

@ThinkAppraiser George Washington once said that very few men have the character to withstand the highest bidder.

@DutchRojas Yep, remember those days. $100/month and 5k deductible…..almost immediately went to over $300 a month and 7k deductible……affordable care act….nasty work…..

@mar5hallhoops This man talks good stuff about hoops, no way to assume anything else

@mcuban Insurance does seem like a strange beast. In Phoenix auto glass companies advertise giving $300 checks and steak dinners if they can only be so fortunate as to replace your windshield.

@mar5hallhoops Fantastic message Coach! It’s the first thing I’m going to show a kid I’m working with tomorrow morning. Thank you!

@jsm2334 @Holden_Culotta When in doubt try to figure out who is paying whom.

[MR @makeitmarkrich]

@molzer But how would you block signage if you don’t have trees everywhere?

[MR @makeitmarkrich]

@moseskagan Can you imagine getting paid in cash every 2 weeks but immediately having to hand over all the amount withheld from your check?
