JACOBS CRAWLEY
Q: What is the best money advice someone has given you?
A: Find ways to make money while you sleep. What I mean is find a
project that you can earn money through that you don’t have to be
there all the time to work it. But stay away from the stock market.
Q: What is the one thing you never go cheap on no matter the
price tag?
A: Rodeo Equipment
Q: What’s your advice to an up-and-comer when they win
their first big paycheck?
A: Take a second breath and once you have settled find a good
consultant to talk to. Whether it be your family or a friend or an actual
consultant. There is no need to buy a new truck if you don’t need one.
