In the fourth quarter of the year, most agents start to relax. They convince themselves that business slows down, buyers and sellers go quiet, and it's time to "coast" into the holidays.

But everything you do (or don't do) right now determines the results you'll get next year. The calls you make, the listings you prep, and the systems you refine in Q4 directly shape your 2026 income.

That's why this is the most important time of the year to reflect, reset, and re-commit. Because the truth is, next year's momentum doesn't start in January; it starts now.

The habits you form in the final stretch of this year are the same ones you'll carry into the next. And if you're not reviewing your goals weekly, tracking your numbers, and eliminating low-ROI work, you're already falling behind.

How do you consistently track your activities and numbers? Why is this the perfect time to commit to being an Agent Investor?

In this episode, I walk through how to turn your 2025 review into a blueprint for 2026. You'll learn how to identify the 20% of activities that actually move the needle, eliminate the ones that don't, and create a weekly scorecard that keeps you on track all year.
