On our last Getting Real episode, I had an incredible conversation with Amy Johnson, a values-based consultant and coach, and I’m excited to share what we uncovered. If you’re a real estate investor—or thinking about getting into it—there’s something crucial that’s often overlooked. It could be the game-changer you’ve been waiting for. What’s the secret? Aligning your investments with your core values.

Most of us go through life making decisions without fully realizing what’s driving them. We think we know what we want, but when we dig deeper, we often find we’ve been guided by values we weren’t even aware of. Amy explained it beautifully: if you’re not in touch with your true values, it’s like trying to navigate life blindfolded. You’re guessing and hoping to hit the mark, but you often feel off track.

I had a great conversation on the Getting Real Show with guest Bogdan Rosu, a mindset and business coach who combines martial arts philosophy with personal development. He dropped some serious wisdom about this whole struggle we put ourselves through, and honestly, it’s stuck with me. His approach? Success isn’t about working harder or learning every strategy under the sun. It’s about what’s happening inside you.

Let’s get real for a second. Have you ever found yourself thinking, “Is now the right time to invest in real estate? Interest rates are up, prices have skyrocketed, maybe I should wait until things settle down...”?

I hear it all the time. And let me tell you—this kind of thinking is costing you your financial freedom.

We live in an unpredictable world. Elections come and go, interest rates rise and fall, and prices fluctuate. There’s always some looming "what if" that makes people freeze in their tracks. But here’s the kicker: while you’re sitting on the sidelines waiting for that “perfect moment,” you’re losing out. Big time.

Just to be clear, when I talk about real estate investing, I’m not talking about buying a home to live in. That sort of investment takes money out of your pocket every month.
