I used to live a life of excess—too much candy, too much drinking, too much chaos. My days were a blur of scattered efforts, chasing business deals with no system, trying to be everywhere for everyone. I was burned out, running on fumes, thinking hard work alone would build my real estate empire. Spoiler: it didn’t.

I realized I couldn’t fix everything at once. So, I started small. One change at a time.

The First Step: Cleaning Up My Diet

It began in the kitchen. I swapped junk food for real, nourishing meals. No crash diets or overnight miracles—just consistent, intentional choices. That discipline in my diet became the foundation for everything else.

Building Momentum: One Habit at a Time

With my diet under control, I tackled my mornings. I started waking up earlier, giving myself time to think, plan, and breathe before the day hit. Then, I stopped skipping the gym. Each new habit built on the last, creating a structure I didn’t know I was craving.

Discipline in my personal life spilled over into my business. Before, I was all over the place—no focus, no clarity. But as I led myself better, I could lead my team better. My mornings got sharper. My deal pipeline got cleaner. My team got stronger. And the deals? They got bigger.

The Power of Starting Small

Success isn’t about fixing everything at once. It’s about doing one thing well until it sticks. For me, it was my diet. For you, it might be cutting out distractions, organizing your workspace, or committing to a morning routine. Pick one thing. Master it. Then stack the next brick.

That’s how I built a real estate business I’m proud of. It’s not perfect, and I’m still stacking bricks every day. But by starting small, I found clarity, focus, and growth—both in myself and my business.
