Make Use Of Your Resources

I know it seems obvious. And yet...

We have all been there. We have that dreaded feeling of being trapped or stuck. We try all kinds of things to get unstuck. No one is immune to being stuck. It happens to everyone.

And it seems that everyone with a YouTube channel or a social media account has the exact three, five, or seven step solution guaranteed to get you unstuck.

But, and this is a big but-

How many of us have bought online courses that we’ve never completed, books that we’ve never read, joined memberships or communities that we quickly forget to log into? I’m guilty of all those.

Why do we do it? Even worse, we sometimes complete the courses and read the books and nothing changes. Why? Because we don’t take any action. We know we should be doing something like acting on the advice we get from those sources. Others act on it and have successes.

The Untold Part Of Her Story

A few weeks ago I saw a woman on YouTube who paid ten thousand dollars for a certification course to be a business coach. I’m familiar with the program. It’s a well respected program that hundreds of people have had success with. But she was complaining that after finishing the courses she didn’t make the money that they were claiming she could make.

She wasn’t making use of her resources. She apparently forgot that she needed to market her business to get clients. Other people getting that certification were building multiple six figure incomes.

It wasn’t the course or the company that sold it to her that was at fault. She did not utilize her new resource that she paid ten thousand dollars for. The resource that also included an amazing course on marketing a business.

Not My First Time

Recently we decided we needed to change something in our business. We knew exactly what we need to change but were not sure how to make it happen. Then I realized the community for coaches(Digital Mentors) that I had joined a few months ago had all the training, coaching, resources, and answers I needed to do exactly what we wanted to do with our business. I had not gone far enough into the program to find that out until last week.

So the quote from Teddy Roosevelt came to mind.

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”

Those are my new instructions. Now I have to live it. Those are the simple instructions that will help you get “unstuck”. My brain didn’t even have to burn any calories to come up with that. It’s a 120+ year old quote that is as true today as it ever was.

I hope you find it useful.

The Square Root Of 4 August 14, 2026 What is the square root of 4? Most people get that answer wrong. What was your answer? 2? That’s the wrong answer. On a math test that answer would be counted as wrong. It is true that 2 is the square root of 4 but it’s not the only square root of 4. The correct answer is 2 and -2, because (-2) X (-2) is also 4. So why the math lesson in square roots? It’s actually not about the math. It’s about perception, awareness, and observation. The Accepted...

How Do I Decide? August 7, 2026 #6 From “The Things I’ve learned In Business” series. This is a question that comes up any time we are looking at investing in real estate, buying a business or maybe making a career change. There are those who make the decision seemingly in an instant. And then there are those who never actually decide. They just analyze and contemplate. And there is the vast territory of everything in between. It’s a complete spectrum of how people make potentially life...

The Real World Of Buying & Selling August 1, 2026 A lot of my content is about investing in real estate and businesses. It’s time to talk about something that unfortunately gets overlooked frequently by content creators that cover those topics. First of all I think they are providing a much needed service to their followers. And for the most part they are honest and accurate when providing the information. But, and this is a big but, it’s not necessarily what they say that I have a problem...
