Are you truly living the life you want, or are you just going through the motions? In this episode of Properties to Profits, I dive deep into the mindset shifts and actions necessary to create the life you envision. We explore why most people never achieve their dreams—and how you can break that cycle. I share the powerful “Four V’s” framework—Visualize, Vocalize, Vote, and Vicinity—that will help you take control of your future, whether it’s in business, health, or personal growth. Plus, I highlight inspiring real-life examples of transformation and success.

If you’re ready to stop wishing and start doing, this episode is for you. Let’s get to work.

Ever wonder how to break through a seller’s doubts and build real trust? In this episode of Properties to Profits, I’m diving into one of the most effective tools in real estate sales—third-party stories.

Ever felt frustrated with your boss or manager? You’re not alone—around 70% of employees leave jobs due to their managers. But what if the issue isn’t just them… what if it’s also how we perceive and react to their communication? In this episode, I break down the mindset shifts and practical strategies you can use to better navigate working under difficult (or just not-so-great) managers. From assuming positive intent to improving your own response, I’ll share key takeaways that will help you not just survive—but thrive—in your workplace.

3 Key Takeaways:

• Assume Positive Intent – Instead of getting frustrated with how your boss delivers feedback, try to see it as an attempt to help you improve. Most managers benefit when their employees do well, so their criticism is often meant to support your growth.

• Communicate Your Needs Clearly – If you don’t like how feedback is delivered, speak up. Let your manager know how you prefer to receive constructive criticism while also being understanding of their communication style.

• Take Control of Your Growth – You can’t change how others communicate, but you can control how you respond. Developing resilience in the face of poor communication can make you more valuable in any organization and accelerate your career growth.

Episode Highlights:

[0:00] Introduction

[1:00] The real reason most people leave their jobs (hint: it’s not just the work)

[2:40] Why assuming positive intent can change the way you handle criticism

[3:50] How to give feedback to your manager (without making things worse)

[4:45] The surprising advantage of working for a bad communicator

[5:30] How these lessons apply outside of work—relationships, parenting, and more
