How Are You Planning on Making 2015 a More Successful Year than Last?

[Joshua Dorkin]

I'll kick off the obligatory "what are you going to do better" post for 2015 . . . so, how are you planning on making this year a more successful one than last year?

I have set for myself 200 million in commercial real estate transactions and 5 million commission.

Buy 2 to 3 strip centers this year from mailing to property owners. I think 2015 will be a huge year for transactions. I want to snowball that into very large recurring cash flow for myself through hands off commercial investments.

Also looking at possibly doing a fund for retail for investors to buy into who do not want anything more than a monetary and return involvement.

My goals are really big but even if I get halfway there I will consider it a win. In martial arts we are not allowed to set goals that are too easy and we know we can reach. People avoid disappointment that way by being SAFE but they also LIMIT themselves by not seeing what is truly possibly to achieve.

It's not a fail to not do 5 million in commission and hit 2.5 then to set a goal for 1 million and hit that mark 100%.
