Week 5 Pre-Work – Accountability Thread
Before our Week 5 call, post confirmation that your pre-work is complete. Post in this format if you would like: 1. Capital Position (Active or Pause): 2. Pitch Deck Status (complete / in progress): 3. Capital Terms Defined (yes / no): 4. Conversations Scheduled (how many + dates): 5. One insight from doing the work: If your work contains sensitive information you do not wish to share with our small cohort, email me your work and comment: “Week 5 Pre-Work Done + email sent” Pre-work must be submitted before the call. Clarity under exposure. That’s the work.

Deal or Delusion?
Drop one sentence that describes something you believed this week… and we’ll vote if it’s: A) Deal (realistic) B) Delusion (needs a reality check) Copy/paste: • I believed: “_____________________” • Vote on mine: Deal / Delusion Example: • I believed: “The Airbnb guest would do the right thing and leave without a fight when they were caught smoking in our house.” • Vote: Delusion. Obviously.🤪

Week 2 Homework – Stress Testing Reality
This week is about applying pressure to what you identified in Week 1. We are not fixing anything yet.We are testing whether your current setup actually holds. Complete the following before the next call: - Complete all four stress tests in writing: - Income Shock (25% income drop) - Expense Shock (repair, missed rent, or $5k–$10k hit) - Time Compression (5 hrs/week vs. 10 hrs/week) - Capital Lockup (capital unavailable for 12 months) - Build your Fragility Map: - Income Shock (25% income drop) - Expense Shock (repair, missed rent, or $5k–$10k hit) - Time Compression (5 hrs/week vs. 10 hrs/week) - Capital Lockup (capital unavailable for 12 months) - Clearly identify your Primary Constraint: - Time - Capital - Cash flow - Emotional bandwidth(You may note a secondary, but you must choose one primary.) Note: Full Week 2 deliverables are in the Classroom “Week 2 – Stress Test Deliverables Upload.” Post your homework in the comments using the template from the “READ THIS FIRST” post. Deadline: Post in the comments by Monday, 7 pm EST. Late = you’re breaking a promise to yourself more than to me. This is not about feeling good. It's about seeing what’s real under pressure. Do the work.

Geoff & Tessa Week #2 Homework: 2/2/26 STRESS TEST SCENARIOS: Income Shock (25% income reduction): What breaks first? - Travel. Dining out/entertainment. Non negotiable? - Child’s private school, keeping the house What assumptions from last week get exposed? - Do we really make as much as we think? Expense Shock (5-10k hit) Where are sudden and unavoidable expense increases most likely coming from? - repairs (home, rental, car), medical, food. What hurts the most? - Food in/(greed)flation. What expenses are not stable that you thought were? - Property tax/insurance Time Compression (adding 5-10 additional hrs of responsibility per week) What breaks first? (in order): - The dreams (work towards other, more satisfying careers: real estate investing, music, volleyball business, writing…) - Health (diet, exercise, meditation, house/car cleaning, etc…) - Relationships (family time, friends) - WHAT DO WE ALLOW TO BREAK LAST? – THE CRAPPY JOB THAT’S ALREADY HINDERING ALL THE OTHER MORE IMPORTANT THINGS!!!! FUNNY HOW THAT WORKS OUT! HAHAHA!What commitments were never realistic? - Music work, some house projects, some cooking and fitness goals… Capital Lockup (capital unavailable for 12 months) What decisions become impossible: - Not impossible – just more difficult and delayed: buying and rehabbing. Which options completely disappear? - Nothing, but our control over the timeline disappears, or is greatly diminished. What pressure shows up first: - Trying to bring in more work and tightening our belts to save more. Trying to raise more from other investors FRAGILITY MAP: What breaks first: - Dreams, Entertainment, Health, Relationships – in that order What survives: - Day job, some chores. What actually matters: - Relationships, Dreams, Health, Entertainment (part of health in many ways) – in that order. GREATEST CONSTRAINT RIGHT NOW: - In order: Capital, Cashflow, Time, Emotional bandwith – but really, we’re pretty low on all of them! Ha! WEEK 3 PRE-WORK
