Hey fam, I know @Trevor Calais is always asking for us to post our wins so I share this not a brag but as insight into how far I’ve come as a first-time business owner. My journey with LGH started during my Skillbridge program when I was retiring from the Navy after 27 years of service. I really had no idea what I was going to do after retirement or if I wanted/needed to do anything at all. After hearing Trevor’s pitch about Turo and becoming an entrepreneur in general, I was hooked. Starting something for myself and not working for someone else sounded great. My initial thoughts were this would be a good passive income stream that I might end up trying to grow and actual enjoy being able to do it on my schedule. Fast forward a few weeks and I had my intake call with @Andrew Knapp . That meeting went great, and I feel like still to this day I meet my first actual friend in the LGH fam. After enrollment I spent hours learning the blueprint, watching the course videos, asking crazy amounts of questions, really trying to learn a new business and understand how it was going to work for me. During that time the credit optimization had already started, and no lie it seemed like it was taking forever to get anywhere. The old team of credit repair folks weren’t nearly as attentive or productive at holding up their end of the bargain. So, for all of you who are now at that stage, be thankful (and patient) that you are able to work with the team you have now. Honestly, I had really good personal credit coming in so it wasn’t about improving my scores, but more so having 2 old delinquents removed from my profile. That didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me why it was so important until months later once I hit the business funding stage. But before I get to funding I still want to touch on my actual journey. Impatience got the best of me, so I started reaching out directly to the old dealer connect, @Jeremy Tate , also someone I still consider a friend and not just someone in the LGH community. After a few talks with Jeremy, I was ready to push forward and start getting some cars in my business name since I already had the credit to PG them.

Hey guys, can y’all help me out with some suggestions on reasonable car insurance companies? I’d greatly appreciate it.

Well…..I will say I am very surprised at how some people can get away with renting their cars. I wasn’t told this car was wrecked until 8 hours before I was set to rent. Upon getting to the car, I saw how much damage was done to the car. TRUST I took lots of pictures. One of those pictures to include a pack of cigarettes in the trunk area. Yet, it clearly states no smoking in the car. I did write the owner and let them know I found the pack in the car. I also let her know I was going to throw it away since I opens the pack and it was only butts. 🤢 I also let her know the car smelled very heavy of the cigarette smoke. I did take a screenshot of all the messages between us, just in case she tries to say I did something. I have now only had the car for 10 hours and to say this is an eye opener is the small part. On the other hand, my brother and I were talking a lot about him wanting to do this with his truck in the summer since he rides his motorcycle all summer.

My 27 years in the world’s greatest Navy — at sea across the globe and in combat on the rivers of Iraq — taught me something priceless. Sometimes all it takes to start someone’s day off right is a simple “thank you.” A message today from someone whom I had the pleasure of leading as his Command Master Chief Onboard Mighty Warship USS SHOUP (DDG 86) reminded me that leadership doesn’t stop when the uniform comes off — and neither does purpose. Whether you’ve led a division, a team, or a business… the real mission is developing people beyond the title. Too many leaders chase results and forget to build readiness — for life, for ownership, for what’s next. I learned that lesson the hard way — in the Navy, during transition, and again as a business owner. The systems change, but the principles don’t: ✅ Lead with gratitude. ✅ Create space for growth. ✅ Build people, not followers. That’s leadership. That’s legacy. 🚀 Once a Warrior, always a Warrior — no matter your battlefield. 👇 Comment below: What’s one valuable lesson you’ve learned in life or leadership that shaped the way you move today? That's mindset! 🏁 From Mastery to Legacy! 💎

@Trevor Calais At what point in the blueprint can I be looking to refinance vehicles that are already in my business name? I purchased the cars back in March, I've gone through a round of credit optimization, and am now in the funding stage. Is this the time to do it or will I need to wait it out till all the smoke clears from funding? Or can I not even refinance them since they are in the business name already? I'm just trying to lower these monthly payments.
