What's your opinion for the area between 30th street to 42nd street and N Franklin Rd to N German  Church Rd.? Any streets to avoid?

Thanks!

It’s definitely one of the most dangerous areas of the city. Type in “police shootout post road Indianapolis” and look at how many different incidents come up. 

@Mike B. I wouldn’t attend either. Personally, I like the idea of sending a small gift to them though. It says “you are more to me than just a number.” People like to feel important. That $50 gift may be the difference between them staying another couple years or potentially staying longer OR just purchasing from you in the future. Also, more than likely, they will only get married once. So it’s not like a BDay party or something that will happen every year.

@Stacey Cook congrats! And this is inspiring. Thanks for sharing

@Matt McLaughlin you can get business cards made without necessarily having an LLC. However, for protection purposes I would strongly consider forming one. I made the S Corp election on one of our other businesses (not related to REI). With the additional requirements of the election, to me it didn’t make sense until our business was turning a profit over 4K per month. There are a lot of working parts when it comes to choosing the best structure for you, but it’s probably best to consult a specialist. That’s what we did 😊

I've committed at least 1 hour per day to meaningful reading. The cost: I no longer watch every single sporting event on TV! The funny thing is that now I seldom have a desire to watch people running around making millions when I'm not doing the same ... yet :) I've also rid myself of anxiety attacks and have been spending more time with my family. 

Just inbox me. I'll share the ins and outs of every Indianapolis neighborhood with you.

@Scott Passman if interested, we can connect and you can ask me specifics about any neighborhood in the Greater Indianapolis area that don't related directly to "the numbers." I can share some great insight with you about ideal places to own, as well as some places that I wouldn't accept a piece of property even if it were free! :)

@Bryan Clement it is awesome to see so much great advice being shared here. One of the things that I frequently remind myself is that health is our first wealth. That mindset makes it easier for me to get up and exercise every morning. Well that, and being a personal trainer most of my life contributes as well. lol Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or workout suggestions if you would like. I’m an open book 👍🏾
