24 years ago, Tom and I started our business. Tom was sitting in a $5 plastic chair from Food Lion. After some initial success, we could have clearly bought a chair but we were using what we had, reinvesting in our business and education. I’ll never forget when the arm broke off and was flapping around. I couldn’t find the picture of Tom sitting in the chair (probably for the best) Here’s the thing — it’s easy to get caught up in how things look. None of that matters if you’re not doing the work. Lead with revenue. Earn theRead More…

My first love language? Words of affirmation. My second? Strategy. Tom and I are always buying, always studying the market, always thinking five steps ahead. But even for us, it’s not always easy. I know so many of you feel the same way. You’re sitting in a house with a sweet 2.5% interest rate, thinking, Why would I give this up? You want more space, a better location, a fresh start—but that low rate feels like golden handcuffs. And the fear of making the wrong move? It’s real. But here’s what I know: fear keeps people stuck, and stuck peopleRead More…

Because home isn’t only where your heart is, it’s where your money is, too. There are few places you will treasure more than your home andRead More…

I have a masters in early childhood education. I spent 5 years teaching during the day and working nights at a restaurant. Then, in 2001, I quit! But here’s the thing—I didn’t just quit to escape; I quit to build something better. It’s okay to run away from something that isn’t serving you. But never quit unless you’re running toward something greater. That decision changed my life. Because wealth, freedom, and success aren’t found in playing it safe—they’re built by those willing to bet on themselves. Go make a move and level up! — Joanne Connect with me on socialRead More…

Maximizing Your Home’s ROI: Smart Improvement Choices Deciding which home improvements to make isn’t always just about return on investment (ROI). If you’re upgrading your home to enhance your own living experience, it’s difficult to quantify that value. However, if your goal is strictly resale, it’s essential to evaluate your choices carefully. There’s a lot of misleading information out there—from HGTV shows suggesting things like “This kitchen cost $20K, and the seller got back $40K when they sold” to social media claims that a new garage door can bring a 194% ROI or a new front door brings 188% ROI.Read More…
