Episode notes
Turning Point After Crisis
- Jim described hitting rock bottom during the 2007 recession and being diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
- He chose to learn his illness, stay healthy, reconcile with family, and help others as part of his recovery.
Choose The Right Neighborhood
- Pick a farm that is convenient, matches your price range, and has steady turnover.
- Check multi-year turnover and avoid neighborhoods with turnover below ~4–5% unless you live there.
Commit To Consistent Monthly Touches
- Be relentlessly consistent with monthly high-quality mailers and branded materials.
- If you can't mail, print and door-knock, but maintain a repeatable schedule for at least 12–24 months.
