Episode 25: Rise & Grind – New Year, New You

Fit Goals, Full Homes: Why a Healthier You Means a Healthier Life

New year, new goals — and if you’re like most people, fitness is probably near the top of your list. But did you know that getting in shape can actually make you better in business too?

In Episode 25 of Real Estate Tips with S&L – Rise & Grind, we caught up with fitness expert Petey Dandini from Train with Rise. We talked about how building a strong body can help build a strong mindset.

Here are the key takeaways from our conversation:

1. Discipline in the Gym Builds Discipline in Life

Success in the gym isn’t that different from success in work — it takes consistency, hard work, and mental toughness. Whether you're showing houses or showing up for a 6am workout, building discipline creates momentum that spills into every area of your life.

2. Mindset is Everything

Your body and mind are deeply connected. Starting your day with a workout or movement routine sets a positive tone, sharpens focus, and boosts confidence — all essential tools for thriving in a competitive field.

3. Real Estate Can Be Demanding — So Take Care of You

In this business, burnout is real. From working long hours, in my case, weekend showings, and stress can take a toll. Petey reminded us that prioritizing your health gives you the stamina and energy to show up for your clients — and yourself — every day.

4. You Don’t Have to Go It Alone

Just like in real estate, having a great coach makes all the difference. Petey shared how working with a personal trainer or being part of a fitness community provides support, accountability, and motivation to keep pushing forward.

5. Your Best Year Starts with Your Best Self

When you feel good, you do good. A healthy lifestyle can improve your confidence, resilience, and leadership — whether you’re negotiating contracts or managing your day-to-day.

The Bottom Line:

Fitness isn’t just about the six-pack — it’s about showing up as your best self, every day. Investing in your health is one of the smartest moves you can make, in life and in business.
