Are you actually working… or just feeling busy? 😬
There are so many things in real estate that make you feel productive but don’t actually lead to making money. A new logo? A fresh website? A perfectly curated Instagram feed? They might help, but if your bank account is running low, these probably aren’t the things you should be focusing on.

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want?
