In this episode of the Properties to Profits podcast, I’m diving deep into what it really takes to level up your life—not just in real estate, but across the board. We all have dreams, but why do so many of us fall short of achieving them? Today, I break down how to close that gap and start living the life you’ve always envisioned, using practical strategies that have worked in my own journey.

I’m sharing the powerful concept of the “Four V’s”—Visualize, Vocalize, Vote, and Vicinity—and how mastering these can transform your mindset, health, wealth, and overall success. Whether you’re working toward your next property deal or aiming to become your healthiest, strongest self, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you raise your standards and hit your goals faster.

Key Takeaways:

1. Identity shapes action. You have to believe in the identity you’re stepping into before the results show up.

2. Small daily “votes” compound. Every choice you make is a vote for the person you want to become—consistency is everything.

3. Your circle matters. Who you spend time with can either pull you up or hold you back—choose wisely.
