Brisket prep day! Phase 1: Trim, season, and place on pellet #grill. Looking forward to this one. Honestly, the prep is a chore. Approx 30 mins trimming and seasoning. This will take a while, about 12-16 hours low and slow plus a minimum 2 hour rest. #brisket #bbq #bbqstr #grillstr #patience #lowandslow #foodstr #smoked #nostr #gn

The balance-sheet cheat sheet: Hold hard assets and cash-flowing assets on the asset side and debt on the liabilities side. Method: Use debt to obtain the best cash-flowing assets (real estate rental property for example) using as much of other people’s money as possible. The hard part is finding assets which a positive yield. A higher return than your interest payments (cost of capital). Save any surplus cash in hard assets. Do your own research but some examples are #bitcoin, rare art/cars/watches, #gold, S&P 500 index, short-term treasuries, etc. Avoid holding much cash (the saying cash is trash comes to mind). Repeat. #learn #nostr #nostriches #pleb #plebchain #cheatsheet #fiat #assets #debt #value #dyor #wealth

Preview of the brisket I’ll be putting on Wednesday evening! Been looking forward to this one. It’s been a while, about a year, since I last smoked a #brisket on the pellet grill. Not going to lie, the prep for it is a bit of a pain but it’s worth it. #foodstr #bbqstr #bbq #smoked #lowandslow #grill #grillstr #prime #beef #proofofsteak #nostr #pleb #plebchain

Anyone having trouble receiving zaps on @strike should check their settings and disable privacy, that also disables tipping/zaps. If you can, could you please #zap me to test if my lnurl is working now? Would be greatly appreciated! @jack mallers is it possible to separate privacy and tipping/zaps? Would be nice to receive while maintaining as much privacy as possible. #pleb #plebchain #nostr #nostriches

It’s hard to not let some things get you down. Sometimes, as hard as you might try, things won’t go your way. An actual example of something that happened to me today: Followed up with a client and was told they had gone a different route. Would have been a significant job and went through some effort over the past two weeks to visit site, follow-up, submit estimates, provide samples, etc. Client was ready to pull the trigger but I couldn’t deliver within their timeframe (next day). Client was noticeably bothered and went elsewhere. I tried to salvage the situation but at the end it didn’t work out and got confirmation this AM. Not going to lie, it bothers me and I get in my own head about what I could have done differently. Sometimes things don’t go your way. It’s okay to get frustrated and be bummed out for a bit but you can’t let it ruin your day. What helps me is thinking about all the positive things I have and other projects I’m working. I force myself the best I can out of that state. Music helps, calling a friend or family member that cheers you ups, play a game, listen to comedy, writing, anything to get you out of the negative mindset. That’s what I’m doing now, writing this to help others and future me get over the gloom. #positivity #mindset #success #growth #theprocess #gm #nostr #plebs #noexcuses
