If you’re going through a hardship, and struggle to see hope within the situation, know that you’re not alone. 


In this episode of The Real Estate Mindset Podcast, we chat with Nick Prefontaine about his journey through a traumatic head injury at a young age. In a snowboarding accident, Nick damaged his head enough that doctors said he would never walk, talk or eat on his own again. 


Despite this bleak future, Nick, alongside his parents, didn’t give up hope. With the power of the mind, they worked through months of therapy in order for Nick to fully regain all abilities. His determination didn’t end there. He continued to work hard at the young age of 16 as a door to door salesman, doing 50-70 doors each day despite ongoing rejection. This built his future in real estate, as well as his passion for motivational speaking. 


Today, Nick Prefontaine is a 3x best selling author and was named a top motivational speaker of 2022 in Yahoo Finance. He’s a Speaker, Founder, and CEO of Common Goal. Using the S.T.E.P. system he can lead clients through their trauma. His passion lies in helping them through to where their limitless potential lies.
