As a career success coach specializing in real estate, Gail helps new realtors manifest an entrepreneurial mindset in starting their business, and vision boards are just one way to do it. Gail will walk our listeners through best practices in creating vision boards, discuss the intentions behind them and walks us through how they have helped her and her clients amass success over the years.  Learn how to visually plan for the year ahead in this powerful episode about success, focus and all those positive things.
