Key Takeaways:

“My clients refer to me as a relationship builder, so that's like the ultimate for me. I'm winning.”
“I really started putting the different Ninja 9 habits into my daily routine… and now at this point in 2025, I do them all very religiously every single week.”
“If you are worried about what people are going to say back… you're more worried about yourself than about the other person. So once I could take myself out of the picture, people want to talk to me.”
“I disconnect my phone. I put it in airplane mode… to actually get my Ninja 9 done is one of the most important things.”
“The easiest parts to build into my schedule were definitely everything related to mindset. So gratitude and affirmations…”
“I have planned my real estate reviews for this year. I've actually planned them out for the whole year… for 2025, I have all of my real estate reviews for the year planned out essentially based on all the ones that I sent out last year.”
“There's no one holding me accountable except for myself. And if I were to go to my board of directors at the end of the year, I want to make sure that I did the best I can to put my business in the best place that it should be.”
“Just remember that it's just as easy to do it as not do it. So might as well just do it and build your business.”
