This week is about applying pressure to what you identified in Week 1. We are not fixing anything yet.We are testing whether your current setup actually holds. Complete the following before the next call: - Complete all four stress tests in writing: - Income Shock (25% income drop) - Expense Shock (repair, missed rent, or $5k–$10k hit) - Time Compression (5 hrs/week vs. 10 hrs/week) - Capital Lockup (capital unavailable for 12 months) - Build your Fragility Map: - Income Shock (25% income drop) - Expense Shock (repair, missed rent, or $5k–$10k hit) - Time Compression (5 hrs/week vs. 10 hrs/week) - Capital Lockup (capital unavailable for 12 months) - Clearly identify your Primary Constraint: - Time - Capital - Cash flow - Emotional bandwidth(You may note a secondary, but you must choose one primary.) Note: Full Week 2 deliverables are in the Classroom “Week 2 – Stress Test Deliverables Upload.” Post your homework in the comments using the template from the “READ THIS FIRST” post. Deadline: Post in the comments by Monday, 7 pm EST. Late = you’re breaking a promise to yourself more than to me. This is not about feeling good. It's about seeing what’s real under pressure. Do the work.

A quick 5–10 minute training to kick off our weekly Intentional Freedom live call. Each mini-lesson gives you one practical idea or framework to sharpen your real estate lane, tighten your numbers, and make better decisions faster. Join us each week for this followed by Q&A.

Here’s how homework works in this cohort so you actually buy more freedom, not more confusion: Every week I’ll create a post titled: WEEK [#] HOMEWORK – [Focus of the week]. All homework for that week goes in the comments of that post. Not DMs. Not random posts. One thread per week. When you submit, copy/paste this template and fill it in: Name: Week #: Date: 1. What I did (actions, numbers, messages sent, calls made, deals analyzed): - - - 2. Proof (screenshots / links / brief summary): - 3. Biggest win this week: - 4. Biggest challenge / where I’m stuck: - 5. What I commit to before next call: - Deadline: Homework is due 24 hours before class starts each week. If it’s not in by then, it’s considered missed. I review inside the thread. If you want feedback, you must follow the template. Action creates freedom. Half-doing this = half-getting results. Do it properly.

If you’re still showing up right now, you’re doing the part most people skip. The first few weeks of the year are full of fresh energy and big intentions.Then the “new” wears off… and the work gets quiet, repetitive, and unglamorous. That’s not a problem. That’s the path. Intentional freedom isn’t built in big moments. It’s built in small decisions you repeat until they become your normal. 2-minute alignment check: Drop a comment with your answers: What does “intentional freedom” mean for you right now? (More time? less stress? more income? better health? clarity?) What’s one thing that’s been pulling you off-track lately? ( Overwhelm, distractions, inconsistency, avoidance, etc.) What is your ONE needle-mover for today? Choose one: Business: follow up with 10 leads, underwrite 1 deal, send 3 offers, post 1 property/dispo, make 5 agent/owner connections Life: 30-min walk, protein-first meals, 80 oz water, 15-min planning reset, 20-min “household admin” cleanup Mindset: one hard conversation, one boundary, one “no” to protect your lane The standard for today: One intentional action. Done on purpose. Comment your ONE needle-mover and come back and tell us when it’s complete.

That’s 1/3 of Q1. How’s that “new year, new me” thing going? If you’re already slipping, congratulations: you’re normal.This is the exact moment most people start to drift. Not because they’re lazy.Because the dopamine is gone and the boring part showed up. Weeks 1–2: Motivation. New notebooks. Big promises.Weeks 3–4: Reality. Same problems. Same calendar. Less excitement.Week 5: People start calling it “alignment” when it’s really avoidance. Here’s the truth: Winners aren’t motivated longer. They stay consistent when it gets dull.January is the “launch.”February is the “who’s actually serious” month. Quick gut-check (takes 60 seconds): Drop a comment with your answers: 1. What was your #1 Q1 goal? (business + personal) 2. Are you on track? Yes / No / Kinda lying to yourself 3. What slipped first? (sleep, food, workouts, leads, follow-up, spending, etc.) 4. What’s your ONE fix for February? (one behavior, not a fantasy) If you’re behind, do this one thing: Pick one non-negotiable daily action for February. Examples: - Business: 3 leads/day, 10 follow-ups/day, 1 offer/day, 1 underwriting/day - Personal: 80 oz water, 30 min walk, protein at breakfast, lights out by 10:30 Make it so small you can’t “not have time.”Because you don’t need a new plan. You need a rhythm. January ends tomorrow.If you’re not on track, fix it now. Not February 15th when you “feel ready.”
