Michigan Real Estate Investing TV: Confusing Activity with Accomplishment

Dennis Fassett

More and more in the workplace I’m seeing activity take the place of accomplishment. We have meetings where nothing gets decided and no conclusions are reached. I’m fighting this in my real estate business as well, and it’s a constant battle, because these social media tools can be a waste of productive time if not used effectively.

Michigan Real Estate Investing TV: I’d Rather Be the USC Trojans Than the Detroit Lions

Dennis Fassett

Although my USC Trojans are having an “off” year on the gridiron, I LOVE the fact that they consider a 3 loss season a complete and utter failure and a “rebuilding” year. Contrast that with the Lions that have been complete and utter failures for 50 years, and they would think that a 3 WIN season was a success. Who would you rather emulate in your business?

The plot thickens with the Westland Housing Commission tenant. Yesterday I received a fax from someone claiming to be a “paralegal” representing the tenant DEMANDING that I release her from all present and future claims BEFORE she moves. Guess what? The guy who sent the fax was really the pastor of her church!

It seems like it some times. As a simple question that’s outside of “the way that we always do it” and you’re met with a blank stare. But the results are worth it if you force the issue.

I’m pleased to report that after multiple decades of hard-headed stubbornness, I’ve finally figured out that all work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy. So I’ve taken it upon myself to convert my wife and now adult(ish) kids into a roving band of merry adventurers. From horseback riding in Monument Valley to ocean kayaking in Acadia – all of our exploits have earned the coveted “epic” label from the younguns. I’ll tell you about them – and also about the other “adventures” I’m having in my real estate investing business and my day job. You can also find me over at DennisBuysHouses.com
