On this week’s episode of Real Estate Tips, we answer a great question from one of our awesome listeners, Alec. Alec wants to know if flyers, door hangers and direct mail pieces are still relevant. The answer to this question, is ABSOLUTELY. Not only are they still relevant,  but in our opinion, they are more relevant today than ever before. Why? People are still opening their doors, they’re still checking their mailboxes, and these days, people are getting less and less physical mail, so your piece will stand out that much more. Alec also asks, "What information should be on them," and, "What price point of homes should they sent out to?"  If you have any questions you want answered, or topics you would like to see covered, be sure to email us at “Questions@GSDMODE.com” and we will do our best to get them on the show. As always, thank you for watching and supporting the show, now let's jump on in!   The Most Effective Geographical Farm Direct Mail Strategy Video: https://gsdmode.clickfunnels.com/geographic-

As a business owner or entrepreneur, it’s important to know that no matter how hard to try, you never accomplish your goals. Instead, you grow into them. It may sound redundant, but we say it all the time because it’s true - when you get clarity on your goals, you will easily identify the best plan for your business. Most entrepreneurs feel like failures once they set a huge goal, only to come up short. Many people think that “big wins” in your business are the best, but it’s actually the constant “small wins” that help you the most. In this episode of Leveling Up, Joshua Smith explains why you should set small goals instead of big goals, how these small changes will help you boost your self confidence, all while eliminating that self doubt inside your business!
