GET OPTIMIZED!

1) Is your career getting in the way of your dreams?  If so, it may be time to consider a change-visualize your ideal life so that you are able to create it.

2) Don’t rule out house flipping just because you aren’t crafty or handy.  In fact, being too involved in the reno/decor can slow the process.

3) Similarly, don't hire one contractor to do everything.  You want an expert plumber, an expert electrician, etc., not a "jack of all trades.”
