DO IT! And Be Glad You Did.

What's your theme for 2019? Take time to think about what you want to create in your business and in your life for next year and assign a theme to help keep you focused throughout the year.

It's not a resolution, so much as a way to focus your efforts all year long to boost your likelihood of having a year full of whatever your theme is.

My theme for 2019 is 'action'. It's a reminder to me to be in and take action on opportunities, chores, events and fun stuff, etc. Being a visual person, I'm going to make a little sign, or something, to remind me of my chosen theme.

Happy New Year!

Do you have a job or a business? Your first reaction might be "I have a business because I'm my own boss." While that might be true, you're also your only employee.

In this episode I cover things to consider when shaping or tweaking your existing real estate practice to build a business that can thrive without out and bring your long-term income while being able to step off the hamster wheel.

Next week I'll have a chat with a stellar broker to take a deep dive into the topics brought up in this episode.

In this episode I speak with Robert Barone, PhD. about what's ahead for the economy in 2019 and what that means for the real estate industry. He's a super smart guy so we end up going over a lot of Econ 101, if you will.

It's important to stay up to speed with economic trends and how those might affect your market, so you can prepare accordingly.

What do you see coming in 2019?
