Be honest. Have you ever set an ambitious goal, mapped out a plan—and then watched that goal get buried under an avalanche of more urgent (but less important) responsibilities?
We bet you’re nodding. Maybe even wincing. Doesn’t feel great, does it?
Today’s show is about breaking that cycle. 
And to help us, we brought in a familiar voice. Brandon Turner, co-host of the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast, thinks a LOT about this.
Today, he shares the tools he’s used to achieve financial freedom through real estate investing, move to Hawaii, improve his personal health, AND spend more quality time with his growing family—tools you can use to get clear on your vision and really stick to your next big goal.
You’ll hear about Brandon’s failed first business venture, how he got into real estate investing for cash flow, and how he discovered a way to bring BIG value to BiggerPockets as Employee #2, despite not owning a computer the year before!
Brandon also reveals the surprising reason he chose to go all-in on mobile home park investing (hint: NOT necessarily because it’s the “best” investment) and the workflow that allowed he and his partners to get hundreds of pads under contract in just a few months—the exact method he outlined in the new-look BiggerPockets Intention Journal.
Oh, and you’ll learn the meaning of “M.I.N.S.” and the role they plan in moving your business forward (ESPECIALLY when the going gets tough). 
Brandon shares why writing out a “vivid vision” of your future might be the best thing you can do to move you closer to your ideal life, why he asks, “What would be awesome?” and then works backwards, and why he and his wife organize a goal-setting retreat together on the same day every year.
This is an awesome episode that lays out a battle plan for getting WAY more done while setting aside quality time for friends, family, and fun.
