2018 Was a Great Year Because....

Yeah, I know, 2018 just started. That wasn't a typo.  I like to state my resolutions as if I am looking back on a year, not looking forward into it. Makes it feel less like a dream, more achievable. These things are getting done!

2018 was a great year because I 

  1. Continued to grow my business
  2. Started note investing
  3. Got a lot of great education and met many great people at my local REIAs (Tidewater Real Estate Investors Group and Hampton Roads Landlord Association)
  4. Saved my clients hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes
  5. Helped some families achieve their financial goals
  6. Got my behind to the gym 4 days per week
  7. Read 12 books I haven't read before (I'm a slow reader!)

Why was your 2018 great?
