In this episode of The Real Build, I wanted to reflect on the past year and tell you more about my life.  I made a significant choice that has affected my entire life.

So this year has been a crazy year for me. Filled with good and bad things and I want to discuss these things with my audience and how they have made me better.

It started when I wanted to work on my personal development.  I joined a group full of driven entrepreneurs that want to better themselves called the Arete Syndicate.

This group helped

· Force me out of my shell

· Made me want to reach higher and perform bigger

· Opened my eyes to my surroundings

· Formed routines

· It made me think of business differently in a lot of ways and what I need to do to get better.

I was looking at my life in a lot of different ways and realized a lot was holding me back. One of my mentors, Ed Mylett, said that we would make a few significant choices throughout our lives that would alter our paths, whether it's in your faith, business, friendships, family, or relationships. You blink, and you are five years older and in the same place. I realized all these things were being affected by my relationship.

I wasn’t happy. It was toxic. It wasn’t changing because I was with someone not willing to change.

I got a divorce last spring.

I'm sure they're a lot of people out there that are stuck like I was.

After making that choice, yes, I lost money, but I swore to myself that I would make it back 10x fast, and I have because I was free.

This helped me become myself again. It has enhanced every avenue in my life, including family, relationships, faith, and business. It enabled me to do things I would never have done before. This podcast was one of those things. I have met so many new people over the past months and expanded my network like crazy. My client base has grown, real estate business is better than ever, and I'm about to grow our construction business as I've always wanted to.

So if your stuck, evaluate what is holding you back. Where will you be two years, 5, 10 years from now?

My goals this year are as follows:

1. Continue to grow this podcast and help people and meet new people.

2. Appear on 20 other podcasts or youtube channels.

3. Finally, expand RK Reiman Into Naples and establish our brand as a premier luxury home builder.

4. Continue the growth of Reiman Properties and hire a couple of salespeople to my team.

5. Buy a rental property.

6. Build and sell more spec homes.

7. At least 20 million in Real Estate sales.

8. Stay consistent with my fitness and health.
