Host: Justin Colby, Bleav
Release Date: January 3, 2025
Introduction: Embracing a New Chapter
As 2025 dawns, Justin Colby sets the tone for the year by emphasizing the significance of viewing it as a blank slate—a fresh chapter ripe with opportunities. He challenges listeners to proactively engage in shaping their destinies rather than passively waiting for changes to occur.
"This is a brand new year. This is a new chapter. It is a blank page." [00:00]
1. Embracing Change
Justin begins by urging listeners to confront and initiate change within their personal and professional lives. He underscores that passive anticipation of change will leave investors trailing behind as the market evolves.
- Key Points:
- Active vs. Passive Change: Waiting for change leads to being left behind; taking initiative propels you forward.
- Personal Battles: Improvement requires daily battles, such as waking up earlier or enhancing work ethic.
- Revenue-Generating Activities: Focus on actions that directly impact income, like calling realtors, homeowners, or nurturing existing leads.
"If you sit around, wait for change, it's going to change, but you're going to be left behind." [02:30]
Example: Justin shares the success within his Reilive Co community, highlighting the collaborative effort that led to signing a contract for a duplex in Mobile, Alabama.
"We have collaborated on 10 deals in the last two weeks." [04:15]
2. The Power of Collaboration
Collaboration stands as the second pillar for success in 2025. Justin illustrates how working with others can amplify results beyond individual efforts.
- Key Points:
- Community Engagement: Joining groups like Reilive Co facilitates deal-making and shared success.
- Organic Partnerships: Justin recounts a conversation with his friend Amy, which organically led to mutual introductions and potential business partnerships.
- Intentional Networking: Reaching out to three to five new people daily can open doors to unforeseen opportunities.
"The more hands you shake, the more money you make." [15:45]
Success Story: Justin explains how his collaboration with Amy evolved naturally, leading to joint training sessions that leverage both their strengths—Amy's expertise in raising private money and Justin's deal-making prowess.
"We just connected and offered value to each other without even asking for anything in return." [18:20]
3. Strategies for Effective Accountability
Accountability is the final cornerstone discussed, ensuring that the changes and collaborations lead to tangible results.
- Key Points:
- Accountability Partners: Engaging with communities or individuals who hold you accountable can significantly enhance productivity.
- Daily Prioritization: Writing down the "big six"—three non-negotiables and three must-dos—each day to maintain focus.
- Visual Reminders: Using sticky notes or whiteboards to keep priorities visible and top-of-mind.
"What gets prioritized gets done." [10:55]
Techniques:
- Community Support: Participating in masterminds or groups like Reilive Co provides a structured environment for accountability.
- Personal Commitment: Justin advises listeners to physically write down their goals and priorities to reinforce commitment.
"There's the big six. Write it down, the big six. Three non negotiables, three must dos." [22:10]

Justin highlights the achievements of Reilive Co members to demonstrate the efficacy of collaboration and accountability.
