What does it mean to charge the storm? It means to get out of your head and stop worrying about uncertainty or politics or the state of the world. If we only focus on controlling the things we can control, it allows us to actually control our lives. That’s what I’m talking about in this Mindset Monday, and it’s the reason that “Charge the Storm” is the theme of my upcoming Success Summit, happening in Dallas, August 27-29.

This is real estate’s biggest, most impactful 3-day event aimed at equipping you with everything you need to charge the storm and create the abundance you desire. Tickets are on sale now, so don’t wait to get yours!
