If starting over, what would you do?

[James Zachary]

I heard this question on an interview and thought it was a great question to post here on BiggerPockets... If you lost everything today (contacts, cash, connections), what would you do tomorrow to start earn it all back?

Be pickier on who to get involved with as a business partner. My first business partner tried to screw me over. The next 3 have been excellent. Live and learn.

Before I met Bigger Pockets and all of its knowledge, I didn't know about the "2% rule" and always had heard about the "1% rule". Since my goal was to cash flow I would have strived for even better cash flow.
