We all have dreams, big goals that we’re striving toward, but sometimes it can feel like we’re carrying them alone. The truth is, sharing those dreams and goals with others can be one of the most powerful tools for success. Not only does it keep us accountable, but it opens up doors for collaboration, new opportunities, and even shortcuts that we might not have seen on our own.
As a real estate investor and agent, I’m always on the hunt for my next acquisition. The market is vast, and opportunities are everywhere—if you know where to look. For me, one of the most effective ways to uncover new opportunities is through sharing. Whenever I’m in the office or out and about, I make a point to talk about what I’m working on, what I’m looking for, and where I want to go next.
It’s all about give and take. I share what I have in my back pocket, and in return, I often learn about hidden gems—properties, deals, or partnerships that I might not have stumbled upon on my own. People know things, and when you open up and make your goals known, it’s amazing how quickly those connections come to life.
For example, I could be talking to a colleague about an area I’m interested in acquiring, and they might mention a lead they know of or a contact they have who’s about to sell a property that matches exactly what I’m looking for. That’s the beauty of collaboration. You open the door for someone else to offer insight or connections, and suddenly you’ve shaved time off the process, or you’ve found a way to avoid pitfalls that might’ve slowed you down.
Sharing doesn’t just apply to the real estate world—it’s true for any goal, personal or professional. When you speak your goals into existence, it attracts the right people and resources to help you achieve them. You might not always get exactly what you expect, but you’ll often find even better solutions or opportunities that you never could have imagined alone.
