How big do you need your business to be before you start harvesting the fruits of your labor?

I've been a part of other "non real estate" forums as well and with experience, one learns how to sift through the manure to harvest the worthwhile content.

Daniel Pink has a bunch of good ones, as does Jim Collins.

I would look at your portfolio and see if you have anything to tax loss harvest. 

I have  recruited a few close friend who live in or near  Atlanta GA ,Chattanooga TN and Miami FL, as well as my sister in-law in NJ   and all are keen to help ..This last few days our PI  farm manager harvested and sold some of our crops,  so our PI bank account Is looking very healthy , now we won’t have to dip into our AUS  saving to cover the trip there next month.  

The goal is always to re-harvest all of our initial capital back out of the deal so we can continue to build the portfolio.

Sorry to hear that Steve and thanks for bravely sharing that with others here on BP.I too lost everything back in 2002-2003 (even became homeless and had to move back to my parent's house and live in my old bedroom which of course, my mom painted lavender and pink!) 

Approached on a 145 acre mature teak plantation ready to harvest. 

Focus on Tax EfficiencyTax-Loss Harvesting: Use taxable accounts to offset gains with losses, minimizing your tax bill.HSA Contributions: If you have access to a Health Savings Account (HSA), max it out.

Tell me, are you willing to plant a crop, nurture it, harvest it, and then give it away for free?
