What’s Your 2020 Vision?!

Happy new year everyone! We are so excited for a new decade and have big goals we plan to achieve in 2020! Each January we take time to set goals individually and as a real estate team. One of our favorite ways to kick off the new year is to make a vision board. We’ve been doing these for years and truly believe they help bring our goals to life every year. It’s one thing to make goals, but if you aren’t reminded of them daily it can be hard to achieve them. Visually seeing your goals every day makes a huge difference so the boards need to be placed where they will be seen daily!

If you are new to vision board making, we have a super helpful planning sheet to get you started.  Sometimes just looking through magazines will spark inspiration but it’s helpful to get an idea of your goals gathered before starting.  

Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions about vision boards.  We will be sharing our completed boards soon! We would love to see yours so please tag @atlantahomefinders on IG or Megan & Natalie Real Estate on FB so we can see them!

3. Add the coconut aminos and fish sauce and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
4. If you are making the optional sauce, mix the mayo and hot sauce in a small bowl. 
5. Serve beef in a bowl over a bed of greens with rice or cauliflower rice. Top with optional sauce and enjoy.
