RE is only one side of the game, take care of yourself as a whole: education, exercise, diet, financial well-being. 

Also, Jaime, you might remember me from my AFACT days---we had coffee about 5 years back while I was working on the detox issue with First Cov:)@Jamie Rose

Sort of like living on Reds, Vitamin C and cocaine; to living on the nicotine patch, a multivitamin and diet soda.

It's like the diet and exercise plan for losing weight....it takes time and consistent effort. 

Also, why has there been NOTHING on diet and exercise to improve cardiovascular health?

It has been exhausting, stressful, rewarding, and a great diet strategy (down 5 lbs. in 5 days!).

And for some reason many conventional lenders don’t treat Flip income as real money (don’t ask cause I’ve never been able to figure this out - it’s green, I can buy a Diet Coke with it, its money!).

I have let my diet slip into junk food, alcohol, and constant grazing.

It is like going to the gym everyday but not managing your diet.  

Make believe you just happen to have something you think he will like e.g. some really nice chocolates or a good wine and tell him you need someone to give it to because you are on a diet.
