Welcome back to Raising the Flipping Bar!
In this episode, Derek Marlin breaks down the exact goal-setting framework he uses to dominate each year — especially in tougher markets like we’re facing going into 2026.
Instead of vague resolutions or soft targets, Derek dives into the “More, Better, New” system, how to build a real buy box, why most goals fail, and how to create a plan you can actually execute on with discipline, clarity, and extreme ownership.
This episode blends personal story, practical systems, and investor-level strategy to help you level up your business, your mindset, and your results — whether you're flipping, wholesaling, lending, or building long-term wealth.
