Hi All!
Welcome to another edition of Captains ledger were I recap the last few weeks with all the things I'm thinking about and up to. This is still a work in progress so I hope you find some value here and since this is the new year this version will be the "level-up" edition. If you find value here I ask that you forward or share this with others.

What I'm Doing:
75 Hard Challenge created by Andy Frisella who if you're not already following and listening too I highly suggest you stop what your doing right now and give this man a follow. Especially, if you're trying to level up your life. I'm on day 32 as I write this, and it's by far one of the most difficult things I've ever done in my life. At the same time, it feels necessary in my life right now and something I've been seeking. It's teaching and demonstrating to me that if I want something badly enough, I'll find an excuse or a means to get it done. Aside from getting in much better shape, I feel lot more cognitively alert and creative. I'm starting to understand what they mean when they say disipline equals freedom. Part of feeling more creative has inspired me to create more Youtube content so be on the lookout for that, most likely will start with why I decided to do the 75 Hard challenge to begin with.
What I'm Listening Too:
Never Finished: Unshackle You Mind and Win The War Within by David Goggins. Let me tell you something.....if you want to change your life around read or listen to this man! The stories he tells are mind blowing! David Goggins' latest book, Never Finished, is an incredibly inspiring and uplifting read. It's full of incredible stories and advice, which can help anyone become better at setting goals and staying dedicated to achieving them. The book is filled with lessons that will help readers stay motivated in the face of adversity and reach their desired outcomes. Highly recommend this must-read! For me personally it's been inspiring to listen too while I do my outdoor workouts. #StayHard #NeverFinished
What I'm Creating:
Well this is going to be a little bit of a plug for myself but I am creating and who else better to create for then me, myself and I. Doing 75 Hard has really inspired me and also lit a creative fire within sparked with lots of idea's so one of things I decided to do is somewhat start to record my journey and also get back to some content creation. So offically going back to creating videos for Bokmans Vlog and the first one is already up "Why I'm doing 75 Hard and You Should Too". Feel free to subscribe and leave any feedback.
2nd thing I'm working on is my 1 on 1 coaching and mentoring programs that I've been offering for last few years. It's been mainly focused on helping people learn the real estate game specialically wholesaling and how to start and run a business but really feel called to expanding that into other areas of life that most men need support in. Such as mindset, fitness, nutrition, fatherhood advice, guidance and overall support and help. So if that sounds like something you need feel free to set up an intro call with me.
Quote I'm Pondering:
Who I'm Following & Doing:
Functional Patterns - Functional Patterns was founded in 2009 by CEO and founder Naudi Aguilar. The framework focuses on training based on an organism's biological characteristics. After extensive research and testing, the Functional Patterns methodology was developed, incorporating elements from disciplines such as anthropology, kinesiology, biology, sociology, physiology, and others. The approach of Functional Patterns is integrative and has remained so since its inception. Been feeling a lot of pain in my body lately plus with the amount of workouts that I need to do each day as per 75 hard I decided to give this a try. I'm a few weeks into the 10 week online program and so far I highly recommend this for everyone.
NFT's
The last few weeks I've been pretty quiet in the NFT space for the most part both online and purchasing, with the rise in ETH I don't really feel like buying more right now so I'll most likely be in a holding pattern unless I get some extra ETH from somewhere. ;-)
I will say this because I think it's funny....to all the people who were fudding GCG and went full memeland I personally think it's hilarious that those memeland maps have a map of a penis lol. I don't know, I think GCG has some amazing art especially went compared to a potato and maps of cock and balls!
Real Estate
Still trying to figure things out are what most people are saying in todays market. A really good agent recently said we are in a 90+ market meaning it's gonna take potentially up to 90 days or more to sell your property. On the wholesaling side things are very slow on the residential side with many investors sitting on the sidelines it's making it much harder to sell off-market properties. The best advise I tell other investors in this market is to stay lean and mean and partner up with other local investors if you can to do JV deals together. If you got off-market deals lets work together - hit us up here!
I hope you've enjoyed the 3rd edition of the Captains Ledger, the plan is to keep this short and sweet. This is a work in progress and will evolve over time. And as always I value your feedback or want me to cover a specific topic feel free to message me on Twitter @BokmanDavid and put #CaptainsLedger so I can find it.
Have a wonderful weekend, all.
Much Love
Dbok
