January hits harder than most people expect.
In the Season 8 premiere of The MindShare Podcast, David Greenspan breaks down why the pressure of “starting over” in a new year drains even experienced REALTORS®, mortgage professionals, and business owners — and how to restart without burning yourself out.
Sparked by a real coaching conversation with a 26-year veteran who just doubled her production in 2025, this episode tackles the mental weight that comes with a reset year, the fear of falling behind, and the mistake most people make by measuring results before their actions have had time to compound.
David explains why January isn’t hard because of laziness — it’s hard because of fatigue — and why progress over results is the only mindset that actually builds momentum.
If your pipeline feels light, your energy feels off, or you’re already questioning whether you’re on track in 2026, this episode will help you refocus on daily actions, systems, and discipline — without hype, guilt, or burnout.
This isn’t about motivation.
It’s about execution — one day at a time.
