What’s one habit that’s changed your life?

[Devin James]

The 1 habit that has changed my life is reading.

Everything changed for me when I picked up my first book.

One of the most powerful lessons I’ve learned is the value of compound effort.

Just like compound interest in finance, small daily habits build exponential growth over time.

Whether it's reading 10 minutes a day, making one new connection, or analyzing one deal, consistency beats intensity every time.

@Devin James The 1 habit that changed my life is I started prioritizing wants vs needs. 

Almost every dollar I make (active or passive) has a job when it hits my bank account. If I want to buy something I leave it in my shopping cart for days before buying it. I circle back and think about my budget. I think about how purchases affect my personal goals, our tenants, and people I buy gifts for. 

This habit is critical for real estate investors because it forces the maximum ROI out of every dollar spent. Whether it's buying the first property, remodeling, renting, or selling it slows you down and eliminates impulse decisions.
