Becoming a Leaf Angel: A Thanksgiving to Remember
Driving home from the gym one morning I was anxiously awaiting a green arrow at the intersection of 228 and 19 in Cranberry. For whatever reason, I wasn’t engrossed in my phone and was staring ahead at an electronic bulletin board for the community. It was August. A message flashed up, “Sign up to be […]
$25 in Starbucks Closed $3.680M in Sales
Okay, story time. A few weeks ago, I closed three deals totaling $3.680M that all began with $25 of Starbucks Coffee, Tea and Spindrift. No fancy funnels.No drip campaigns.No “AI-enhanced, quantum-synced lead nurturing protocol.”Just drinks. Let me explain. It was a Tuesday. The kind of Tuesday where the market is quiet… too quiet.The phone buzzes, […]
How to Start a Business From Home (And Build Something That Lasts)
Most people who start a home business do it the same way. They have an idea, they try a few things, and then they wait to see what sticks. They hedge. They stay comfortable. They never fully commit to the version of the business that actually has a chance of winning. Tabitha Glista did none […]
How to Grow a Business: Find Your Niche and Go All In
Most people trying to grow a business are working too broadly. They’re chasing every opportunity, saying yes to every type of client, and wondering why nothing is gaining real traction. The answer is almost always the same: they haven’t committed to a niche. I sat down recently with Joshua Jahani, head of Jahani and Associates, […]
How to Delegate Tasks Effectively (And Why Most Entrepreneurs Wait Too Long)
Most entrepreneurs don’t fail because they lack talent or ideas. They fail because they try to do everything themselves until they can’t do any of it well. I’ve watched this happen in real estate. I’ve done it myself. And when I sat down with Lindsay Rider, founder and CEO of The Overture Institute, she put […]
How to Build Mental Toughness as an Entrepreneur
There are about 1,600 OrangeTheory Fitness studios in the world. One of them just ranked number one on the entire planet. That studio is in Astoria, Queens. And the man behind it is someone I’ve had the privilege of watching up close, because I’m a member at his Long Island City location and I show […]
How to Overcome Fear of Failure as an Entrepreneur
At some point, most entrepreneurs hit the same wall. Not a market problem or a money problem. A mental one. You know what you should do next. You might even know it clearly. But something stops you from doing it, and you’re not entirely sure why. That’s usually fear. And it’s a lot more common […]
How to Build a Personal Brand That Creates Multiple Income Streams
Most people think building a personal brand means picking a niche, posting consistently, and waiting for the algorithm to reward you. That’s part of it. But it misses the deeper thing that actually makes a brand work. I recently sat down with Michael Mott, a critically acclaimed composer, lyricist, and vocal producer with over 15 […]
Why Most Real Estate Agents Fail (And What the Successful Ones Do Instead)
Most real estate agents don’t fail because they lack drive. They fail because drive alone isn’t a business. I’ve watched talented people come into this industry full of energy and genuine ability, and then quietly disappear within a couple of years. Not because the market beats them. Because they never built anything underneath the hustle […]
