Mindfulness matters. The more self-aware you become, the better your relationships and the more fulfillment you get out of life.
That’s why I take an entire week off at the end of every year, not to eat bonbons, but to reflect on the past 12 months, celebrate my wins and plan for the future.
On this episode of Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing, I’m sharing my process for evaluating 2022 and looking ahead to 2023.
I discuss what we achieved at the Michael Blank Brands and Nighthawk Equity in 2022 and explain our goals for the coming year, challenging you to set aims in each of the same 7 areas of your personal and professional life.
Listen in for insight into the multifamily market outlook and get my advice for investors on where to look for opportunities in 2023!
