In this episode of The LVR Podcast, Ruan Burger and Marissa Schulze dig into Week 5 of the Broker Journal: Success Comes From Hard Work. But the message goes deeper than just putting in the hours — it's about making sure those hours are spent on the right things.
Ruan opens with a simple truth: talent only takes you so far, but consistent hard work takes you all the way. As client expectations rise and the industry evolves, brokers who are willing to put in the effort — and keep refining how they work — are the ones who build lasting businesses. He also makes the point that as technology takes over low-value tasks, the goal isn't to do less but to redirect that energy into higher-impact activities.
Marissa challenges listeners to take an honest look at how their day is actually structured. Are you busy doing the wrong things? There's a big difference between being productive and being occupied, and a lot of brokers are working hard without seeing the results they want simply because their effort isn't pointed in the right direction. The practical challenge for this week: map out your high-value vs low-value activities and start shifting the balance.
