I gave up years ago on the concept that you could actually have balance in your life, I think it's a phantom chase.

I have a theory and I really believe it. I think your worst weakness can become your greatest single strength.

Especially if you're over 40, shortening the term of your loan to pay it off sooner could make you mortgage-free in retirement.

I think it was 37 years that I did music.

What people ask for has nothing to do with the value of a property. You might see a listing for $300,000 and think you should make a $250,000 bid. But hyper-focus on what the house is worth. You should know what the house is worth by looking at comparable properties. Base your bid on that.

The joy is in the getting there. The beginning years of starting your business, the camaraderie when you're in the pit together, are the best years of your life. So rather than being so focused on when you get big and powerful, if you can just get the juice out of that... don't miss it.
