The Entrepreneurs' Round Table

11/02/2026

Randy Jenkins came to the Round Table expecting to hear people talk about business and making money. He wrote this afterwards:

"Sometimes the most valuable thing you can do is get into a room with people who think differently than you do, listen, ask questions, and allow your assumptions to be challenged."

Here's what stuck with him:

Making money and keeping money are two completely different skills. We spend our lives learning how to earn income. How much time do we spend learning how to turn that income into assets?

A dollar should have a job. It either disappears through consumption, or it goes to work producing something else.

There's good debt and bad debt. The question isn't "do I owe money." It's "what is that money doing for me?"

Nobody asked him to write any of that. That's just what happens when a room full of investors, business owners and entrepreneurs talk openly about money, mistakes and what they've learned.

The Entrepreneurs' Round Table meets the third Thursday of every month in Oldsmar, FL. Next one is Thursday, November 19.

One line in your contract can decide who's protected when a deal falls apart. Here's the pro tip I shared with the room at the Round Table:

When you assign a contract to another investor, make the deposit they give you non-refundable, and make it bigger than the one you gave the seller. Typically, twice as much.

On one deal, I gave the seller a $500 non-refundable deposit. The investor I assigned it to put up $1,000 non-refundable. If the deal fell through, I'd only owe the seller $500, and the investor would owe me $1,000. So if the investor didn't perform and close, I'd still net $500.

So that's a pro tip right there.

Pro tip for investors: hire the pro before they get their license.

For years, Gary Heusted ran 40-plus rehabs for me. He showed up with company trucks, logo shirts and a crew that worked like pros. He just didn't have his general contractor license yet. That's exactly who I look for: tradespeople who run their business professionally while they work toward the license. Their prices are fair, and within two to five years most of them earn it.

Gary and his dad did exactly that. His dad, Gary Heusted Sr., earned their general contractor license, and today G2 Home Services, LLC is a licensed general contractor. I'm proud of them. They charge fair retail prices, the way a licensed contractor should, and I send them homeowners and investors whose projects call for that level of work and budget.

Here's a rule of thumb every savvy investor learns: to make a fair profit on a flip (about 20%), you need the same work done for roughly half of retail. For example, if a licensed contractor charges $5 a square foot in labor to remove and install flooring, a savvy investor gets it done for $2.50 or as close to that as possible. That's not a knock on anyone's price. It's simply how the math on a flip works. So while I refer the bigger-budget projects to G2, I keep building depth on my own team in every trade: electrical, plumbing, HVAC, painting, flooring, tile and more. It's like building a football team.

Then in 2024, Gary texted me:

"Hey Steve, are you still doing your course on real estate investing? How much is it to get started? I'm trying to figure this all out and am just not comprehending all the ins and outs. I have wasted too much time trying to figure it out on my own."

He joined the Renovation Advisor Program™ Platinum Package. I connected him with a Pasco County wholesale deal that fit his buying criteria, we funded the purchase, and we ran the renovation through the 11-Step Renovation Expert Roadmap™. Gary already knew most of the steps from years on my jobs. My wife Carole Jackson, a Realtor with Charles Rutenberg Realty, sold it. Now he runs the system with his own team.

In Gary's words: "I called him on a Wednesday. By Saturday, we had an offer in on a house and I'd closed on it the following Friday. So within like 8 days of calling this guy, I had my first investment property."

— Gary Heusted, G2 Home Services, LLC

That's what we do at The Entrepreneurs' Round Table: we help each other grow, and we send each other business.

Dylan McLeod is a Realtor. He sees what happens when an investor guesses at repair costs. Here's what he said about working with me:

"Steve has given me so much valuable insight and tips and knowledge and experience, plus a ton of systems and strategies that I can use. I would be 10 steps behind where I am today [if not] for Steve. So if you are looking for a home renovation specialist, I highly, highly recommend Steve Jackson."

If you'd rather have that experience on your project than learn it the expensive way, that's what Renovation Advisor Program™ Platinum is for. Done for you: on-site visit, a 3-hour consult, my vendor network, subcontractor bid reviews, and your scope of work and draw schedule built with you.

It's application only, and I take 3 clients at a time.

Most investors know the process. Then a real seller calls, and they freeze.

That gap between knowing and doing is what I talked about for a full hour with Randal Jenkins on Tan Talk Radio. It's also why The Entrepreneurs' Round Table exists: real operators working real deals out loud, the third Thursday of every month in Oldsmar, FL.

Want your team clear every morning without another meeting?

The Daily 4 (D4) is one short email each person sends their leader by 9 AM:

1️⃣ Top 3 Priorities: the three most important focuses for today
2️⃣ Outcomes / Results: the result you'll produce for each priority
3️⃣ Problems / Challenges: what's in the way. Surface it early.
4️⃣ Questions for Me: what you need from your leader to move

10–15 minutes each morning. It works for a Realtor with an assistant, a contractor with a crew lead, a coach with a VA, or a service owner with a small team.

"Instead of doing nothing at all, complete at least one personal project daily." — Steve "Action" Jackson
