Ideas Post

I think I am back

I need to get back into the habit of doing the ideas everyday. It seems to be helpful when I take it seriously.

So what have I been up to?

    1. I went to a screening of 'The Gates' movie yesterday

    Last film of James Van Der Beek. He plays the bad guy.

    I thought it was going to be a horror film. It is not. More of a thriller. It is thought provoking. I would recommend.

    Chatted with the director/writer John Burr.

    Her wrote the first draft in one month. Then it took 4 years to make the film.

    Makes you think about religion.

    Makes you think around race relations between black and white people. But then is also an entertaining thriller.

    There is a clear beginning middle and end.

    2. What am I still dreaming about?

    Buying one of the older homes in my neighborhood and remodeling it. These houses were built in the 1970s. Most of the neighbors are Boomers and have lived in the neighborhood for many years.

    I could definitely buy a home and add so much value.

    Could it be a rental business?

    Would I buy a home, fix it up and then live in it. Sell my current house?

    Could it just be a flip situation? Buy fix up and sell?

    How would I finance this business? I don't think I have enough to buy a house in cash. But I do have enough for a down payment and a loan.

    3. Which social media people am I obsessed with?

    Martha Stewart

    Joanna Gaines

    They both have created lifestyle businesses that I cannot get enough of.

    They both live on farms. They both have restaurants. Products. Retail Stores.

    I think I just like the idea of having a lifestyle business, but also a wonderful lifestyle.

    4. What is for dinner tonight?

    Fish and sweet potatoes.

    5. What are my professional goals

    I still dream of having a podcast.

    Writing a book or a series.

    6. Personal Goals

    More travel.

    More help around the house. Maybe a yard person or a maid service. That would be so nice.

    7. What am I constantly thinking about right now?

    Spring.

    I have picked up a ton of leaves. There are 2 massive trees in the front yard that drop a massive amount of leaves each winter.

    I planted 8 bushes around the trees. And plant to plant at least 4 more.

    Lots of plants are coming back to life. Really glad the hydrangeas are coming back.

    Debating how much money I should spend on landscaping.

    8. What have I realized about myself

    There is always an internal struggle over spending money. I have a hard time spending lots of money. For instance, I created these really large flowerbeds in my front yard. But I have struggled to spend the money required to fill them in with plants, because the plants cost money. The bigger the plant the more expensive it is.

    Will figure out how to get over this.

    9. Learning more about AI

    Prompt engineering.

    Creating agents to do different tasks.

    10. Walking my dog everyday

    Still as wild as ever.

    11. Getting back to working on the podcast

    Creating value for other people through content
