Today finishes my story where I have talked about my journey from having no success with W-2 jobs to the success I\u2019ve built in the entrepreneurial world in real estate. In the last episode, I talked about finally starting to have success in my business, and today I want to talk about 2021 and 2022\u2014the things I\u2019ve done to create success and where I\u2019m going from here. I had a huge 2021 where I tripled my income from the previous year. I shared previously that we had paid off all our debt other than our home by September of 2020. We were very excited by that, but our next goal was to save 10 months of expenses by March of 2021. I continued to have success in real estate and easily made that goal, in fact in March when my daughter was born, I had over a year\u2019s worth of living expenses in the bank. God had blessed our business and family so much. We were finally able to meet our goal of my wife being able to stay home with the kids. I\u2019m not saying that our life is a complete joy ride just because we are secure financially\u2014there are still hard days. It can be hard with two children under two and a half, and I\u2019m so thankful that my wife was willing and able to stay home with them. Some aren\u2019t willing to do that and it\u2019s hard work. I couldn\u2019t do what she does\u2014what she does every day is much harder and more exhausting that what I\u2019m doing while having fun selling homes. I am very thankful for her. It\u2019s been nice to be able to dictate my own schedule recently rather than letting that schedule tell me what I need to do. That was all thanks to a great 2021. I\u2019m just doing everything I can to grow the business and create success with real estate and obviously the podcast is a huge part of that. I\u2019ve added an extra episode, so we\u2019re doing three times a week now and I have a great system that keeps that from getting overwhelming. We talked about the power of compound effect, and I still do those things. I\u2019ve gotten better and faster at the podcast and my real estate business and that takes a lot of stress off me and gives me more freedom. I\u2019m also coaching Realtors, offering help with social media presence, and continuing to help my team. The work for my team is a little different in that I\u2019m the operations director\u2014in charge of a lot of things and making sure they are doing the work to create success. I\u2019m just very thankful for them and for those relationships. I\u2019m excited about the things I\u2019m building and am really encouraged by the people who reach out and say the podcast is helping them. That means a lot. I love trying to help people find success in their real estate career. Real estate is going well, the podcast is going well and there are lots of things on the horizon and I\u2019ll share more as we go along. I\u2019ve worked hard to create time, location, and financial freedom and that\u2019s what I\u2019m going to continue to do. I hope that you can see the journey that I went through and apply it to your career. I have literally come from the worst situation where I thought we were going to lose our home to building a successful real estate business and being blessed so much. I hope these episodes have given you a glimpse into my world. I hope you can apply some of the principles I\u2019ve shared to your business and know that you can trust the process and have success too. I look forward to having some great episodes coming up as we talk about what 2023 holds.
