Heading to the beach (or the mountains or the air conditioning…) this week and looking for some good reads? This year, we’ve been thinking and talking and writing about how to do stuff. Here’s a curated collection of what we came up with. First, a fast, interactive read from our Prep Talk series on how to get stuff done: https://lnkd.in/eSFCkmCD But there is one piece of advice we forgot to add to that piece: Puke and clean up. https://lnkd.in/e5W-9uQF Here’s our process for doing a particular thing: Constructing a portfolio: https://lnkd.in/e27yxHe9 And why doing anything other than actually doing the thing is hokum: https://lnkd.in/ekirVsB6 If you want to dive into how to craft better deals and improve outcomes for all parties: https://lnkd.in/ekirVsB6 Plus, advice on deciding what you actually need to get you where you want to go: https://lnkd.in/eaJpZDfM And, finally, why we may not actually want to do everything – and why that’s okay (as long as we know what we’re missing out on and why, i.e., FOMOBOMO, to put an oddly specific acronym on it). https://lnkd.in/eynzKpyG So, enjoy the list, don’t forget your sunscreen, check out our other content at www.permanentequity.com, have a happy holiday, then go get some stuff done. #smallbiz #smallbusiness #permanentequity #gettingstuffdone
