- "The ability to delegate is one of the biggest differences between real estate entrepreneurs who have successful businesses that produce CONSISTENT income which don’t require their CONSISTENT daily involvement…
…versus people who struggle, living from deal to deal, and who feel like they’re business owns them instead of the other way around."

#18: Whitespace: Your Key To Innovation, Clarity, & Hitting Your Goals
In today's show I'm going to talk about something that we often take for granted in our businesses and our lives…
...WHITESPACE.
I'm not talking about the space in the margins of your website, or the blank space on the edges your business cards.
I'm referring to gaps that you purposely create in your calendar between meetings, or other activities. It's the time that you consciously allot in your schedule to think, distraction-free.
If you feel like you've hit a plateau in your business or you're stuck in a rut professionally, financially, or even personally - adding more white space to your life might actually be your answer.
I know it sounds counter-intuitive that making time in your day to do less will help you be more successful. But, by the end of this show you'll understand why.
