Here’s my tip, this is hard to do. It takes a tremendous amount of emotional fortitude to manage to have confidence in yourself. But if you know your market, don’t be afraid during the downtimes to buy-in. You’ll be discouraged, it’s a down market, you’ll feel totally sick to your stomach, the values have dropped but that is the time to buy because of this one mantra which we all know but we have trouble following it and that is to buy low and sell high. Overcome your emotions and don’t be afraid. If you want to prevent disaster, nibble in. Don’t buy all at once, just average in over a period of weeks and months.WANT TO LISTEN MORE?Did you enjoy this episode?

Ryan O’Connell is the founder of How To ADU and an advocate for more housing in California. He moved to Napa, California in 2012 to start nakedwines.com which is now one of the twenty largest wineries in the United States. In traveling all over California’s beautiful wine regions, Ryan had too many occasions to meet vineyard workers, winery teams, and hospitality staff that cannot afford to live in the regions where they work. While grateful for the success and growth of California’s wine country, Ryan also saw a fundamental problem pushing people out of their communities or driving them to spend far more than a third of their income on housing. Revisiting his political science background, where he holds a B.A. from Tulane University), Ryan set out to explain Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) to California homeowners.

What I like about Scott Alexander is he's very straightforward, straight to the point —real blunt. He talks about the difference between being a rhino or being a cow, and he compares it today, he uses that as an analogy. But then, he also talks a lot about faith, and I think the biggest takeaway from everything is, without faith you can't get anything done in life. It really is through the means of faith that keeps me going. Without faith, you can't level success to where you get to without it.WANT TO LISTEN MORE?Did you like this episode?

What’s cool is they have a site of the day, like a fun fact, thought of the day, a book of the month. Joe: The book that I used as an entrepreneur, that helped me through all sorts of issues was Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. The big lesson in that is writing down your goals and reviewing those goals on a regular basis. That’s my secret that’s not a secret to success in entrepreneurship: I write down my goals, I have 5 or 6 main goals for every year that I look at and review them every day. And when you review them in the morning, you do different things based on those goals. This new book, I was surprised because I had low expectations on this book, it’s Greenlights by Mathew McConaughey. I really thought it’s not a good book, but I read it, he wrote down his goals on a regular basis and review them. Great lessons and I learned a lot about myself reading that book.

He's got a podcast, and of course, get the books!Scott: I just want everybody to take from this podcast what they want. One of the things I get from this podcast and it kind of aligns with what Steve said that solidifies it, and that is, everybody does something because they have a problem, everybody is looking and calling you about their land because they have a problem. So figure out how to solve their problem and the minute you solve their problem, you will not have any issues with money or sales. You just try solving out what problem they're trying to solve. Solve it!Steve: My tip is 'Challenge Yourself'. I think the trouble is we get into the rough and I constantly challenge myself. Challenging yourself doesn't mean you get into deals that are expensive. It could be listening to the different radio stations, it could be like trying an appetizer on a restaurant that you don't know what it is, it could be like turning left when you're supposed to turn right just to see the area of your neighborhood looks like. When you try something different, it gets your mind engages and builds up a habit that triggers like "oh, we're trying new things", in which you become open with new things. Try something different with low liability, low cost, and get your head to engage in building a habit to be open.WANT TO LISTEN MORE?Did you like this episode?
