Travis, this is amazing.

Quick question.

If you were just starting out without a network, how would you start to get yourself out there as an investor?

Ads? Social media?

Thanks again.

Hey Mark!

Thank you!

I'd find a resourceful person and get access to THEIR network. We call it referral mojo. It's the ONLY method we need. We use other's, but it's the only one we need.

It never gets old! I guess that’s why I love your stuff so much? Stuff that never gets old always works.

Great post Travis !!

Thought of picking ur mind on this scenario I am facing currently

Fitness equipment seller sells tredmill on his e-commerce site and he does not upsell anything.

I do not personally know the founder.

How would I get the owner to promote an upsell which shows how to lose the last 5 pounds within 14 days?

Specifically:

How would you find out what he wants NOW so that he allows me to use his unused upsell spot?

Any specific questions you ask ?

Even though you share a lot of the same analogies and stories from your past, I start out thinking "Ah, I've read this before" and leave thinking "I would have been an idiot to miss this one!" In this case, I'm reminded again DON'T ASSUME! I still do that a lot and probably will do it again.

So my question would be, if you already asked a question based on assumption, is there a way to turn it around?

In your example the assumed question would be “How much do you want for this piece of land?”

Can you correct the ship after that?

Fascinating. How do you find resourceful people or people with resources that they don’t need or want to deal with anymore?

I would like to know about specific means to obtain acquiesced land. The only starting point I know of is an initiative called SKIP permies.com/skip
