Instead of trying to figure out how to do something, find the who that is already doing it.

There is a book called Who Not How for a reason. It took me a long time to learn that.

Get out to events. Find the people doing the thing you want to do and find a way to help them with their journey.

Asking to pick their brain over coffee is not the way. If they are an entrepreneur they are working more than 40 hours a week and they do not have a spare hour to donate. Do not get offended when somebody says no. Listen to what they are doing and figure out what you can actually provide.

As an electrician trading time for money, the prospect of owning a business that could be acquired by giants like PropStream or Zillow is mind-blowing. Building it the right way unlocks an unfathomable exit.

Glenis Hargreaves gave me a simple test for reading a homeowner's policy.

Your declaration page lists your limits, including one for the dwelling and one for personal property. Here is how she tells the two apart.

"If you shake the house and it falls, that's personal property. If it stays on the wall, that's dwelling."
Glenis Romero Hargreaves, on Dream Start Own

Now picture everything that would fall. She says if you bought the home 30 years ago and still carry 100,000 dollars of personal property coverage, it is not going to cover it.

Your insurance company paid your policy limits, so the claim is over. Right?

Glenis Hargreaves says that is what fire survivors tell her when she shows up. She has been in the insurance industry since 1988 and a public adjuster since 1991.

"Just because you were paid policy limits does not mean you were paid."
Glenis Romero Hargreaves, on Dream Start Own

She says coverages like extended replacement cost and code upgrades can still be owed after the limit is paid. She also says the burden of proof is on the policyholder.

Feeling stressed, anxious, or fearful? Instead of asking 'why do I feel this way?', question if it's real or a past story. Reframing these moments as unfamiliarity, not fear, leads to acceptance and peace. It's okay to be okay.
