#123 – Reflecting on the Year of Dog Breeding & What I Plan to Change for Next Year

The holidays are coming up and maybe it’s like this for you: you’re going along, getting excited for some turkey and cranberry sauce, Aunt Julianne’s cheesy potatoes, and then you blink and you’re toasting cheers on New Year’s Eve. We toast at 10pm our time because we...

Get the Paying for Your Facility Upgrade Cheat SheetOkay, so now that we know investing in facilities is the goal, how might we invest in facilities in a responsible way? I remember talking with a couple who had purchased a large piece of land and had a nice facility...

#116 – Should You Invest in Your Facilities or Retirement?

#115 – Invest for the Future

Get the Getting Started with Cryptocurrency Cheat SheetShe said to me, “If I don’t sell at least 20 puppies per month, my business will collapse, I couldn’t afford it.” It was her opening sentence to the free strategy call she scheduled with me. It caught me off...
