I've set up a Zapier zap to text my phone whenever I get a new client message because folks are very impulsive (see above about wanting education and dopamine hits).

You know that one guy that is known as crazy, that is always is acting impulsively, is always cutting corners, but somehow always ends up on top?

I also checked out the meeting you organize- I love the charging  a token amount that both buys the group pizza and weeds out the people who RSVP impulsively but never show up- something I'll keep in mind for a meeting I might try to arrange in the future.

The man has never made an impulse purchase in his life.

Growing too quick or being impulsive does.  

My husband (very conservative) and I (impulsive, sees opportunity everywhere) had the opportunity about 20 years ago to buy a beach house on Ocean Isle Beach, NC, for $150,000. 

You got creamed because you got in over your head. 20k over on something that doesn't cashflow properly is an impulse purchase not a level headed business decision. 

I know this method sounds stupid and impulsive, but I'm not a detail oriented guy, (in fact too many details put in front of my and my attention wanders ,) so I only looked at the bigger picture and assumed the little stuff would work itself out.

Moving is expensive and disruptive (plus physically exhausting lol); that may counter the impulse to "upgrade"?

Being that this is our first attempt at being landlords, we’d like to educate ourselves before making any impulsive decisions we’ll regret down the road.
