I made a Real Estate Inspired Video while testing my new Tokina lens.
The equipment is getting better and better. Sadly, my filming and editing skills aren’t quite keeping up. But I still love trying to be creative, even though I’m not as gifted as I want to be. Still. Room for improvement makes for nice challenges :)
The video above was shot in Port Richey, Florida. It’s a pretty run down area with lot’s of abandoned properties and foreclosures. The big recession in 2008 hit really hard all over Florida and it becomes very apparent in some areas, like this one.
Still. A mess like this creates room for new opportunities. Hence my real estate inspired video with some stories on how profits can be found everywhere. Even in places like this.
What is most striking to me is the massive amounts of abandoned commercial properties. (more…)

And his trade? Flowers! He peaked while selling carnations that he grew in most of his many greenhouses before moving on to grow and distribute roses. He passed in his late 80’s with one of the best nicknames in Sweden. “The Rose King” :)
I know there are neither carnations or roses in the pictures above, just some other flowers I found on my walk the other day.. Sorry!
So what did I learn from grandfathers entrepreneurship? He passed away before I was mature enough to understand all the lessons he could have taught me. But I do know he inspired me. He was the first to tell me that “You are going to be a fine businessman my boy” before I could walk.
Anywhoo. He did really well at times. He owned big gardens and greenhouses in Sweden and France. He lived a comfortable life and socialised with a lot of interesting people. He traveled the world and installed one of Swedens first private swimming pools (more…)
My experience on this subject is limited so I probably shouldn’t be giving too much in dept information. But, I do have some knowledge on the subject, so I’ll share parts of that with you.
What is a proper Entrepreneur Dress Code? I don't think there is one? If you are an entrepreneur, you are a unique person doing your own thing. That means you…
Jim Rohn is a superstar who helped inspirational people like Tony Robbins become the great influencers they are.
My friend introduced me to him and for some reason I feel very good hearing him go through his theories on how to be your best. It’s all the same, Tony Robbins, Napoleon Hill and so on, but some people get to me better than others.
He’s good, isn’t he? Jim Rhone. If you want more, Click Here.
I know there might be too much of this at times. All the positive thinking and mental preparation, but it makes all the difference, so let it be that way. Let’s look at it like (more…)
I just read about this guy called Stan Kroenke. He is buying land has just got his hands on another ranch.
This last ranch that he bought is located in Texas and has some more than 1,000 operating oil wells. It’s about 30 000 acres (12 200 hektar) and became his for some 700 000 000 million USD. Kroenke is one of the largest private landowners in the US and owns ranches in Montana, Wyoming, Arizona, British Columbia and now Texas. Pretty cool, isn’t it?
The most expensive ranch ever sold in the United States so far is Trinchera Ranch in Colorado. It is owned by the Forbes family.
Dog Air BnB is just clever. Clever entrepreneurship :) A few Swedish entrepreneurs helped found the company King who created games like Candy Crush Saga. They later sold their shares…
I read some articles about how to increase the value of your property before a potential sale and these are the things most mentioned:
There are a few things that have a big effect on the value of your property and you can make sure to have them working in your favour. Or most of them.
The single biggest factor is your location. Since we can’t change the location after we have bought the place, it is what it is. What we can do is enhance the good things about your location. This is just something I like doing, not something found in articles. I usually put some chairs out on my favourite spot in the garden to invite people to that area, giving them a nice place to sit and think about the property they are interested in. I can’t prove it works, but I have a feeling it might help.
Now, to the things that we can affect. Here are three points on how to increase the value of your property: (more…)

Pushing Boundaries. This list of quotes comes straight from my favourite business person Richard Branson’s blog :)
Action is so much more powerful than words and even though he has released a few books, no one inspires more by just being himself, living his life then Mr. Branson does. He is truly great!
About pushing boundaries, I do my best at pushing to go further. As do you, I hope? It’s part of the game. Maybe not pushing boundaries out of a huge global perspective, but pushing out of our own comfort zone to accomplish more. It’s a hard task, but try pushing yourself a bit harder and you will be rewarded with peace of mind and potential success in your endeavors?

I looked through some photos my friend took the other day as we were out on a walk. The call was from one of my investors back home and we discussed some upcoming projects. Felt great to make sure we were still making progress in Sweden without having to be there. I tend to take so much for granted, but sometimes, like now, it just hits me how grateful I am for innovations. I have always wanted a “multinational” life and that would have been so hard to accomplish without stuff like Skype, internet banking, e-mails etc. Now, thanks to technology, I can run my Swedish business while in the USA and my American business while in Sweden without any interruptions. It’s great! Multinationall business is great!
