7FF 309: Productivity Hacks: How to Get 3X More Done Every Day (While Working LESS)
In December 2018, I gave my wife an empty box for Christmas.
No, it wasn’t a “gag gift.”
It was literally just an empty box.
I remember the look on Lucy’s face when I gave it to her…
I could tell she was kind of confused (which is totally fair).
So I said to her…
“Every day, at 5:30 PM, I’m going to put my phone in this box. I’m going to unplug myself from my business. And I’m going to spend the evening completely focused on you and the kids.”
That was my promise to her.
And it was one of her favorite Christmas gifts ever.
But halfway through 2019, things changed.
I took over as the CEO and owner of 7 Figure Flipping.
I was running 2 businesses, each with full teams of employees I was responsible for.
I was sleeping 2 or 3 hours a night.
So I talked with Lucy, and I said, “Hey, things are kind of crazy right now…”
I explained the situation. And she understood.
After that, the phone stopped going into the box.
I was pretty bummed about not being able to stick with it.
And I remember one day just before Flip Hacking LIVE I saw that empty box sitting in our living room and realized it had been months since I’d put my phone in it.
A thought crossed my mind…
The same thought we all have when life is crazy-busy and stressful.
I thought, “I wish there were more hours in the day. I wish I could get more done in less time.”
If I could have figured out a way to accomplish 3X more per hour, I would have had PLENTY of time to spend with Lucy and the kids every day.
If I could have TRIPLED my work output…
...then I could have put my phone in the box at 4:00 PM if I’d wanted.
That would have been awesome.
I’m sure you’ve felt this way too…
We’ve ALL wished for more hours in the day.
We’ve all wished we could be more productive.
And at the start of a new year, we’re all thinking about how to get more done and hit our goals.
So I want to bring some special on the podcast today…
Nina is a real estate investor.
But in addition to that, she’s the creator of an incredible time management system that she uses to 3X her productivity.
Her system is mind-blowing…
And the story of how she developed it is pretty incredible.
Imagine working a 9-to-5 job and having all your daily tasks completed by mid-morning.
Imagine being able to do all the work you’re currently doing, but in half the time… or in one-third the time.
This is the kind of stuff we’re getting into in today’s episode.
Nina is going to share…
- What she learned on her multi-year mental health research journey…
- What yelling at a McDonald's worker taught her about her own brain...
- How your physical environment affects your mental state…
- Why multitasking is a massive problem…
- Why you should turn off the notifications on your phone…
- How to stay in control of your day (instead of putting others in control)…
- How boundaries help you avoid “setting yourself up to fail…”
- Why saying “no” is important (and what you’re ACTUALLY saying no to)…
- The 3 main steps to planning your day…
- The 4 levels of priority for your daily tasks…
- Why “urgent” doesn’t mean a task is a priority…
- Why you only have 75% of the time that you THINK you have…
- The red, yellow, and green zones of your day (and why they matter)…
…and more.
Boosting your productivity is one of the fastest ways to accelerate your personal and professional growth…
…and Nina is THE productivity expert.
Let’s dive in!
And if you want to learn more about Nina’s system, head over to her website BoldlyAndCo.com.
Her productivity system hinges on a specific planner that she and her friend Mary developed, as well as training and coaching that go along with it.

13:05||Ep. 885There's a city where the median house costs 142 grand and sells in 33 days. There's a state posting a 73% gross flip ROI while Phoenix and Austin are barely breaking even. And there are four "disaster" markets I think are some of the best hunting grounds in the country right now, if you change one thing about how you operate.This is part three of our four part 2026 Flip Market Report series, and today I get tactical: where to actually buy in 2026.I cover:- The cheapest major metro in the country, and why the rent there often beats the mortgage payment outright- The state putting up the number one flip ROI in America, and the housing stock behind it that doesn't boom or bust- The "catalyst test," a simple filter that separates a real market from one that's about to run out of steam- The billion dollar World Cup buildout and the $20 billion semiconductor plant quietly reshaping two Midwest markets- The four markets everyone's running from that I think belong on your target list, and the three rules for buying in a soft marketIf you missed part one or part two of the series, or you want the full data behind everything in this episode, grab the report.Download the FREE 2026 Flip Market Report: https://offers.7figureflipping.com/investor-market-report-pageLINKS & RESOURCES7 Figure Flipping UndergroundIf you want to learn how to make money flipping and wholesaling houses without risking your life savings or "working weekends" forever... this book is for YOU.

884. [884] How to Flip Houses without Chasing Contractors or Cash
58:13||Ep. 884Anyone can find a deal that looks good on paper.But funding it, renovating it, and selling it... that's a different story.And it's the place where investors lose.In this episode, I sit down with Bobby Triplett, VP of Renovation at OfferPad, and Cole Dickinson from Turnus, to break down how they solve both problems at once. Bobby's team has run over 40,000 rehabs, and they do something almost nobody else does:No draws.You just put down a deposit, they run the whole job, and you pay the rest when it's done. Cole's side handles the money, including a program built for people who haven't done a deal yet and don't have the track record most lenders want to see.We also get into a real deal that blew its budget but still hit the timeline, and why a lender telling you "no" can actually save your first deal instead of killing it.Solving one side without the other only gets you halfway there.That's why it's worth knowing both of these guys directly.If you need the rehab side handled for you, go check out OfferPad Renovate: https://www.offerpad.com/renovateOr reach out directly via email at renovate@offerpad.comAnd if you need the capital side solved, go check out Turnus: https://go.ternus.com/7FigureFlippingOr you can reach out directly via email at cdickenson@ternus.comLINKS & RESOURCES7 Figure Flipping UndergroundIf you want to learn how to make money flipping and wholesaling houses without risking your life savings or "working weekends" forever... this book is for YOU.

883. [883] 2026 Market Report: Where the Real Estate Money Actually Moved
12:28||Ep. 883Everyone keeps asking me the same question. Where did the money go?For ten years, the play was easy. Buy in the Sun Belt, follow the moving trucks. That play just broke.The markets everyone chased are now leading the country in price decline. The markets nobody makes videos about are quietly posting some of the best returns in America.This is part two of our 2026 market report, the follow-up to Is a Housing Crash Coming? What the Data Actually Says. I call this one the map flipped.I cover:- The three real reasons the Sun Belt cracked, and why one market held up while its population actually fell- Why "follow the migration" is lying to you right now, backed by the two states leading the country in both migration and price decline- The one supply number, buried in new construction data, that tells you more about your exit than any migration report willDownload the full 2026 market report: https://offers.7figureflipping.com/investor-market-report-page
882. [882] Is a Housing Crash Coming? What the Data Actually Says
14:15||Ep. 882Everyone keeps asking me the same question right now. Is the housing market about to crash? Their neighbor said it. Their uncle said it at a cookout. Some guy on YouTube with a red arrow on his thumbnail said it.So I pulled the actual data instead of guessing.And what it shows is a market that's rebalancing, not collapsing. Lending is tight, prices are holding steady nationwide, and the fear everybody's repeating doesn't match what's actually happening in the numbers.In this episode, I break down our full 2026 market report, part one of a four part series, and walk through exactly what the data says before you make a decision based on a headline.I cover:- The affordability number that's driving today's market. - The one supply metric that tells you whether you're really in a buyer's market or a seller's market right now, no matter what it feels like- The profit number that just broke a two-year losing streak for flippers nationwideIf you've been sitting on the sidelines waiting for a crash, or you've been grinding through a rough stretch and wondering if it's time to walk away, this data changes the calculation.I laid out every number behind this, market by market, so you're making your next move off facts instead of fear.Download the full 2026 market report:https://offers.7figureflipping.com/investor-market-report-pageLINKS & RESOURCES7 Figure Flipping UndergroundIf you want to learn how to make money flipping and wholesaling houses without risking your life savings or "working weekends" forever... this book is for YOU.

881. [881] I Lost $70K on One Deal. Here's Why I Didn't Quit
15:53||Ep. 881I made the rookie mistake and bought a deal outside my buy box. A $40,000 rehab turned into $85,000. The property sat on the market for 12 months! I dropped the price, refinanced it, turned it into a short-term rental, and eventually sold it three years later at a $70,000 loss.In this episode, I break down what a bad deal actually takes from you.We go over:- The $40,000 rehab that became $85,000, and the one thing I missed during due diligence that caused it- Why the $70,000 wasn't the number that kept me up at night- The moment most new investors quit, and why it has nothing to do with money- What a professional poker player taught me about losing in real estate- What to do right now if you're sitting on a deal that's gone sidewaysIf you're in a deal that's gone sideways, or you took a loss and you're starting to wonder whether this is even worth it, the answer is not to be more careful in some general sense. The answer is to get around people who have already survived a bad deal and navigated out of it, people who can tell you exactly what they did and what they wish they had done differently.That room is called 7F Runway.

879. [879] Real Estate Agent to Investor: Traps that Agents Fall Into
28:21||Ep. 879Raul Mendez is a military veteran who became a real estate agent thinking it was a stepping stone to investing. It cost him two years and a team of seven people he didn't want to manage. Today, he's running three exit strategies at once: wholesaling, flipping, listing deals through his agent license. He's also holding nine rental properties and running a cost segregation strategy most investors never touch.He made $145K on a single flip and realized the agent business and investor business have completely different margins. That number changed everything.In this episode, I sit down with Raul to break down how he escaped the realtor team trap and built a hybrid model that captures the $600K+ in listing opportunities most investors leave on the table.He covers:- Why he chose to become an agent first instead of going all-in as an investor (and what it cost him)- The realtor team scaling trap: when overhead crushes margins and you realize you're managing people instead of building wealth- The exact moment he stopped wanting to build a bigger team: $145K on one flip vs. the squeeze of selling 30 houses- Why keeping a real estate license is different than building a realtor business- The three exit strategies that change your deal math entirely: wholesale it, flip it, or list it- How he captures listing commissions on deals his marketing brings (the $600K opportunity Adam left on the table)- Nine rentals and cost segregation: the tax strategy that keeps what you make- And more!What changed for Raul was getting out of the agent-first trap and realizing his agent license was a tool, not the business itself.Raul started in our Runway Mastermind.It's where agents and investors are learning to scale, flip, find capital, find off-market deals, and manage portfolios without getting stuck in the overhead trap that almost caught him.See if it's a fit for where you are: https://www.7figureflipping.com/runwayWant to connect with Raul?

14:53||Ep. 878Many investors get their OFFER PRICE completely wrong. Then they end up dropping the price, later or just walking away from the deal cause they can't sell the contract. In this episode, I break down three free Redfin numbers that tell you exactly where your market stands before you buy, before you list, and long before the panic sets in.You'll learn:What the median days on market number is really telling you, and why the investor who panics at day seven is burning money for no reasonThe list-to-sell ratio hiding inside Redfin that reveals what homes are actually closing at (not what they're listed at)The price band breakdown that shows which slice of your market is moving, and which is deadWhy checking this data when you list is already too late… and the one monthly habit that keeps you three moves ahead of every other investor in your marketKnowing your list-to-sell ratio keeps you from overpricing on the exit.But if your ARV was wrong before you bought, no amount of market data saves the deal.The upcoming Deal Analysis Workshop is where you fix that...Learn to run the numbers right before you ever make an offer:Register to our FREE Deal Analysis WorkshopLINKS & RESOURCES1,000 FREE Seller LeadsGet your first 1,000 seller leads FREE from our partner BatchLeads and start closing deals immediately.
