We discuss gaining in life without pain with my guests Dr. Greg Hammer and Peter Littlejohn Cook

Did you hear about the new app for real estate investors that’s going to rock your world? I’ll tell you all about it in a minute or two.

You may be familiar with Moore’s Law of Computing: Moore's Law refers to Moore's perception that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles every two years, though the cost of computers is halved. Moore's Law states that we can expect the speed and capability of our computers to increase every couple of years, and we will pay less for them.

I was there at the birth of the personal computer revolution. In the first few years this law was amazingly accurate. My first IBM PC was an upgraded version. It had a color monitor, although no one really had a use for color yet and there were no graphics - only ASCII characters. And I had two floppy disk drives. That means I could put the floppy for the program in one drive and save the data to the other. Formatting codes for word processing were visible to the user so it was a bit of a guess as to what would print out. Speaking of printing out, printers were dot matrix and could print in any color you wanted as long as the only color you wanted was black. Yes, if you were in accounting you could get a dual band ribbon that had red, if you had a LOT of money and programmers to make it work.

I remember seeing the first laser printer. We sat in dumbfounded awe as it printed a page with a perfect circle - no jaggies. At the time I thought it might be the coolest thing I had ever seen. This would have been about 1984 and it cost $1200.

Thanks to Moore’s law, you hold a phone that is 100,000 times more powerful than the computers that sent men to the moon in the 1960’s. And those computers cost $3.5 million! There’s something new in Technology every day. Imagine the power you will hold in your hand in 20 years!

It’s NCAA Tournament time and that usually means upsets and underdogs. Surprises happen hourly in the first weekend which is why they also call it “March Madness.” I’m no stranger to this process. My senior year in college we finally made the postseason - as a 2-seed. We went right out and ended my college career by losing to a 15-seed in the first game. Early in the game my coach called time-out and yelled at us for 60 full seconds. I don’t remember everything he said but one thing still rings in my head nearly 40 years later:

“Get Your Head In the Game”

Of course I was focusing on the game at hand but the thinker/philosopher in me was engaging in a bit of critical evaluation. I would have liked to have said, “Coach, what you saying is technically true, but we need some actionable steps to take coming out of this timeout.” That didn’t happen. We lost.

Today I’m going to tell you why people get their heads in the wrong place - metaphorically “not in the game” but I’m also going to tell you how to fix it.

If you listen to Flipping America and act on what you learn, you are going to end up with assets. Cash, properties both real and personal, and possibly a lot of it. Funny thing about our litigious culture here in America - poor people never get sued. But if you are rich, you can count on it. Yes, even if you are a good person and treat people well, someone will try to find a way to unjustly take what is yours.

Once a lawsuit is filed, you have lost. You might not lose the case, but you will have lost time, effort and not a small amount of money to attorneys in your defense. In some cases it is cheaper to settle the case and pay money even though you have done nothing wrong. The best way to win a lawsuit is to never get sued and the way to insure that is to own nothing.

Bob Bluhm is an attorney who can help make you immune to frivolous money-grab lawsuits. I like his approach and his style and I think you will too.
