Ask Jim MillerAsk The Right Questions | Monday Morning Pep Talk Episode # 277Welcome to Episode 277 of Monday Morning Pep Talk. This week is about clarity — how to find it faster and use it with purpose.
For over a decade, I’ve been disciplined about planning and goal setting. But even with structure, I sometimes struggled to lock into clarity during my daily and weekly sessions. I was asking good questions — but not the right one.

This week, we’re going deep on a truth every top performer knows — you’re only as strong as your recovery.
Whether you're an elite athlete or a high-performing advisor, setbacks are part of the game. What separates the best?
It’s not just talent. It’s not just discipline.

This week, we are going deep on a word that gets tossed around a lot in real estate—but rarely lived out: fiduciary.
FIDUCIARY: What It Really Means
It sounds powerful. It sounds professional. But most advisors using the word aren’t actually showing up that way in their day-to-day business.
Too many agents are functioning as facilitators—not fiduciaries. They’re taking orders, moving people from step to step, doing what’s easy—not what’s right. And clients? They can feel it.
📌 A facilitator helps.
📌 A fiduciary leads.
A true fiduciary puts the c...2025-04-1308 min

Vision vs. Ego: The Real Battle
Your vision is the promise you’ve made to yourself—the life you want, the impact you seek. Your ego is the external fuel—rankings, recognition, competition—that pushes you forward.
📌 When ego leads, you lose sight of your purpose.
