December – Give back to your community
We’ve reached the end of our investors resolution list, and it’s time to make the best of the most wonderful time of the year!
Each month we went over many topics from how to grow your network and how to find new opportunities to the importance of reading and researching to become a great real estate investor. If you missed any post, don’t forget to check out our blog.
There are many reasons why it is important to give back to the people around you, but it may be easy to get overwhelmed and to not know how you can make an impact, so keep reading to see our best tips on how to get started.
Find a passion
Think of a cause you are passionate about and search for organizations near you that support it and what actions they are taking to do so. Don’t worry if you don’t have a lot of information, or are unsure on what you can do to make a difference. Reach out to them, they will surely point you in the right direction. Focusing on 1 or 2 causes will help you be able to really focus and do things to make the world a better place.
Hold an event
Try holding a fundraiser, walk or other like-event to make your community involved. Nothing drives neighbors more together than working towards a common goal.
With the cold weather coming in, an idea of what you could start with is to organize a drive to collect warm clothes, blankets and/or food for homeless and less fortunate people.
Not that this needs more selling, but posting things like this on social media can also give you exposure and can be a great way to network, so it is a win-win!
Get your family involved
If possible, make the whole thing a family affair, from choosing the cause to seeing it through. It can be a bonding activity with your partner and your kids will grow up looking for ways they can change and improve the world around them.
Perform random acts of kindness
Don’t feel bad if you are unable to do a big action to help your cause. It all starts with small things, so you can make it a point to perform random acts of kindness wherever you go. They may be as simple as offering a kind word and smile to someone in need, or paying for something forward for the next person to enjoy.
Kindness doesn’t have a measurement and it can go a really long way.
We hope you enjoyed going through the list of resolutions with us this year as much as we did! And remember to keep looking out for our blog for more articles on Real Estate investing.
