Start Fast

I would like today to start fast. I am sitting here trying to write this out, and doing only this journal entry this morning, because I am ready to get the day started. I have another routine I could be doing. I could be uploading my strategy prompts into ChatGPT and getting the day started that way, but that requires looking up information and moving at that pace, and I want a different pace today.

I want to move fast. I want to move at the speed of not relying on other people. Which is, unfortunately, not a speed that exists. This might be why I am good at the 1031 exchanges and why other people call them difficult. I want to move at speed. Where other people might want to …I don’t know what other people might want. That is also a problem with me.

There are plenty of warnings in media about people who want what they want and want it now. The most famous being Veruca Salt from Willy Wonka. I am a bit like that. I want it now. So waiting to hear back from a seller on our letter of intent drives me bonkers because I am ready to get onto the next move, and we haven’t even closed yet so my 45 day timer technically hasn’t started. I’m like a heel wrestler getting my licks in before the bell rings.

That is where I am, and yet I feel like this month has been nice and relaxing. Calls are up, new clients added is up, everything is moving in the direction I want it. I am not touching the Stable Hands website and I’m letting my garden grow. I am watching the first few sprouts emerge and I am ready to see them one day bear fruit.

On the other side of it. It is time to go. It is time to get work done and get things moving. I would like to wrap this 1031 exchange up in record time again. I figure on the second property there is no need to wait for the answer on the LOI. It is like giving up one run in baseball. It isn’t a big deal because you have to score a run to win anyway. Falling being 1-0 early doesn’t matter.

If I jump ahead and find a place for $410K and we go ahead and lock that in and the LOI is countered or rejected we needed that other place anyway to finish out the 1031. So, why not move now.
