Its my early morning ritual at the moment (thanks to Miracle Morning).

:A 'ritual' gift to all children in our lives (ours, nieces/nephews, etc) over the past few years has been the Money Savvy Piggy Bank http://www.msgen.com/assembled/money_savvy_pig.html.The objective is to teach them the difference between "spending money", short term saving, donations, and long-term investment in their future.Robert RuizI grew-up in a family business (fishing) where both hardwork and innovation were rewarded.

Implementing it over the course of time through a set of daily rituals is the challenging part.My strategy in a nut shell is:Mind Mapping the flowCreate a Massive Action PlanDevelop my identityBuild my brandSeller outreach using an outreach matrix and tracking resultsAttending conferencesBe in a position to close when the opportunity presents itselfWhat is your strategy or how does it differ from mine?

Very relevant as we all do our yearly tax rituals (whatever yours may be)...The Schedule E is not ideal, but for round peg expenses (that are legit "ordinary and necessary" expenses, and the IRS and tax courts have lots of info, be it regs, opinions, and decisions on that) that do not fit in their Schedule E round hole categories, I try good ole' Line 19 and I even write in a couple (be it condo dues or cell phone) that are major contributors to the category in the small space provided.

I then scour through these listings as a morning ritual.

It is an inconvenience for me from a property management perspective having to go through this "collection" ritual every month, yet at the same time manageable, since he does end up paying.

I get so wrapped up in the number and the ritualism of working the deal that I loose sight of what we are doing all this work for and believing that we are all on the same team, to some degree.

I go in a routine and ritual to grow my real estate business as much as I could.

Anyone else using this morning ritual?

Going forward, i made sure to let tenants know, please don't do ritual animal sacrifice in your living room, or in the unit in general and when I get a funny look i just say "yup, seen it".
