I’ll discuss a guiding principle I’ve seen as the foundation behind every successful person I know and the REAL reason I’ve been able to accomplish many of the goals I’ve set and built a large real estate portfolio.

We’ll break it down into four parts centered around the philosophy that big things happen with little decisions and one of the most influential books I’ve ever read, The Slight Edge.

We’ll discuss the building blocks of the little actions we need to take and go into further detail on:
