What can we do now to guarantee 2021 brings us bigger results?   In this episode, host of the GSD Mode Podcast, Joshua Smith shares how visualization and hard work will make our dreams of a booming 2021 a reality.   Never sacrifice what you want most for what you want in the moment. Stay focused on your goals. - Joshua Smith   Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   How to get a clearer look at the path ahead: Never underestimate the power of knowing the numbers. When we have a clear idea of how much effort goes into closing each deal, we can replicate the process and work out how many transactions we need to complete to reach our goals.  The importance of knowing what we want to achieve: Where we put our focus is where we’ll go, so it’s important to be mindful of what we’re telling ourselves. Creating vision boards and writing down our goals is a great way to remind ourselves where we’re going so we can make our dreams a reality.  Why visualization can only take us so far: It’s great knowing exactly what we want to achieve, but we can’t rely on visualization and mood boards alone. If we aren’t backing that up with the actions to make our dreams a reality, we’ll never succeed.    Guest Bio:   Joshua Smith is the owner and host of GSD Mode, the world’s top real estate podcast.
