Lack of motivation is one of the hardest things in life to overcome for me and I’m sure a lot of other people. I constantly struggle with getting myself to do things from taking out the garbage to exercising. Hell sometimes I will put a glass in the sink instead of taking that ONE extra step to put it into the dishwasher!?!? Why is that? I wish I had an answer. What I have learned in my 31 years is …

Rehab and flip?” This is a very important question to answer before I get started, I mean how can you write an effective business plan if you don’t know your exit strategy right?

I’m a big fan of the way Steve Cook handles his business. He preaches to always do things on the up and up. I decided to buy his Wholesaling course to help give me direction. I also purchased his Business Plan template with the Secret Sauce to help me develop my business plan.
