#115 The Keys to Planning a Successful 2021, with Erin Bradley and Lisa Kerin-Welch

Real Estate Business: What You Will Learn How I started in the real estate business and went from rock bottom to financial freedom How reflection, schedule, and vision tie into business planning for 2021 Why joy and success should not be categorized as two separate things How business planning has changed with COVID, and how to adapt How to stop 'shoulding' all over yourself My personal goals for 2021 Reflection, Visioning, and Goal Setting for 2021 In this week's episode of Pursuing Freedom, I share an interview that I did as a guest on Lisa Kerin-Welch's podcast, "Live With Lisa!" Lisa is with Equity Insurance Group in the Denver metro area, and she had me on her show to talk about planning in the real estate business. During our conversation, Lisa and I talk about reflection, visioning, and goal setting as we prepare for 2021. Most of us are rewriting our plans due to the twists and turns brought by 2020. There is no better time than now to embrace the business planning process and tap into what really matters to us today. What Brings You Joy? For so many years, my time in the real estate business was spent trying to just get by. I went through the motions and muscled through the work, but everything felt like a grind! I didn't have an authentic message or a single clue about where I was in my journey to financial freedom, and as a result, I was basically spinning my wheels! Once I started to ask myself questions like, where am I in life? What do I do for fun? What brings me joy? What makes me uniquely me? I was able to start crafting a message that reflected those answers when I put it into the universe. Dream Life Powered by Your Dream Business The success of your business comes as a byproduct of doing what you're good at, doing what brings you joy, and designing your business model to support your lifestyle vision. Your success and happiness are not two separate things. Practicing reflection, visioning, and goal setting in your business planning process will help you marry them together. Bring yourself into a positive state of mind that is magnetic to opportunity! You have already accomplished so much up to this point. Recognize it. Use it as leverage.
