Utilitarian Household

As firm believers in basic economic principles, many decisions in our household are based on maximizing utility, or overall happiness/pleasure.  For example, when there are only 2 scoops of ice cream left in the tub, it doesn’t matter who gets to it first, the ice cream goes to whomever will enjoy eating it the most.  This principle also explains how this blog got started:

You see, my husband, Christopher, and I are always embarking on some new business venture.  He is 100% entrepreneur, and I like to think I’m an entrepreneur, but we all know that I’m a bit too cautious to truly be considered one.   Anyway, we are currently building a Wholesale Real Estate business, focusing on selling REO (foreclosed) properties to real estate investors (rehabbers, landlords).  As we researched our business model and mapped out the different duties associated with launching this venture, I quickly suggested that we institute a division of labor to increase efficiency and allow each of us to specialize in our respective areas.   He enjoys analyzing numbers, sifting through properties, and already has a good deal of experience on the phone with prospects and clients.  On the other hand, I was fascinated by all that we were learning about social media marketing and found the idea of blogging and educating online appealing.  In addition, as a stay-at-home mom, I wanted to make sure that my tasks were those that could be carried out at random times throughout the day and night, whenever I could get to them, as opposed to the duties that are more time-sensitive.  So, here I am, learning how to blog, hoping to be of interest and help to all those seeking entertainment and education. 

Please help me to serve you by giving me suggestions as to how to make this blog better.  I admit I’m a newbie, but I want to be an expert.  Your feedback is the most valuable tool to help me improve.

Thanks for your time!

Julia
