This week while in a real estate group, I saw a post that asked why there are agents out there asking questions of other agents in their market. The person commented that they would never help their competition. If you know me, then you know that this is the opposite of everything I stand for. Of course, my response was that this is the absolute worst mentality to have—that they were hoarding information and being selfish instead of helpful. I was a bit ni...2023-03-3111 minReal Estate Survival GuideYou Need A HobbyMy wife told me recently that I needed a hobby. I think she noticed that, even though things were going really well in my real estate business, that I seemed to be stressed a lot. I needed something to take my mind off real estate. At the time I really resisted—after all, I already had a hobby—I play Madden, I watch sports. She pointed out that I get mad when I lose at Madden and that a hobby isn’t something that makes you mad. She had a point. She said I needed something that would take my min...2023-03-2909 minReal Estate Survival GuideYou Need To Ask The Right QuestionsToday’s episode is about asking the right questions. If you don’t ask better questions, you’ll just keep going around and around in circles in your business. Six months ago, I shared about my irrational fear of flying and how the hardest part for me was the takeoff. There’s a lot that goes on at an airport that intrigues me—the way the business runs and how many people cycle through every day. Recently, something happened that I hadn’t experienced before at the airport. As you know we were in Florida for over a month and after th...2023-03-2707 minReal Estate Survival GuideWhat You Need To Serve Your Niche Part III - The ConfluenceThis week we’ve talked about building content and making connections, and today we will talk about the confluence. Confluence is a great word that I heard from Vincent Pugliesi that he came up with from looking at what successful businesses were doing. Confluence occurs when several things come together—it is used often when smaller rivers come together and form a larger river. For our business purposes, confluence is where you take your content and your connections and you add marketing—and it becomes a powerful force that works together for the success of your business. The interesting part a...2023-03-2411 minReal Estate Survival GuideWhat You Need To Serve Your Niche Part I - ContentThis is the first of a three-part series talking about what you need to serve your niche.

To be honest, I’ve experienced this recently with both real estate clients in my business and with membership, coaching, and training agents. I talk so much about your avatar and the importance of going after the people who you really align with. Remember the four client boxes we have talked about on the show—high paying/high drama, high paying/low drama, low paying/high drama, and low paying/low drama? You want to stay in the low drama boxes. A client...2023-03-1709 minReal Estate Survival GuideWhere Is Your Foundation?Today’s show is about the importance of having a foundation in your business. We’ve got around 35 people in the membership and it’s interesting because we have a combination of new Realtors and top producers. About half the people want to learn from me because I’ve tripled my income from my first full year to the second full year and created a six-figure real estate business—and of course I want to teach those people. The other half I’m wondering what I could possibly teach them when they’re making half a million dollars a year.

If you’re only about growing your business to get something out of it, you’re missing out on the opportunity to make meaningful connections and help p...2023-03-1315 minReal Estate Survival GuideChoices & DecisionsToday’s episode was inspired by a few different conversations I’ve had since we’ve been in Florida. There have been a lot of people interested in how we were able to come away for a month. So, I want to talk about what makes all of this possible for us and why it’s possible for anyone. It’s all about choices and decisions. I watched Ken Carfagno and Vincent Pugliese both go away for a month at a time with their families and never dreamed it was possible for me, but then by learning from them, I realized...2023-03-1014 minReal Estate Survival GuideHow Quickly Can You Change Your Focus?How quickly can you change your focus? One of the things I have learned through my real estate career is how quickly you need to be able to focus on the next thing. For example, as I record this podcast, I have a settlement coming up in a couple of days. I’ll need to change my focus pretty quick after wrapping this up so I can focus on that client. Once that settles, I’ll move my focus to the next thing—it’s about balancing it all. We have to be able to change our focus quickly in real...2023-03-0814 minReal Estate Survival GuideDon't Get So Busy Creating That You Stop GrowingDon’t be so busy creating that you stop growing. I often talk about Vincent Pugliese and the Mastermind group that I’m part of. He’s really changed my life, and while I was at his retreat we talked about some hard things that really changed the trajectory of everything I’m doing in my business. As a Realtor, I thought that recurring income wasn’t a possibility for me, but Vincent taught me otherwise.

Today we’re going to talk about how we don’t have to be on the clock 24/7. So many Realtors feel they must be on the clock 24/7—always answering their phone, always available.

When it was time to leave, I had a conversation with someone who didn’t feel like they made the connections I did—that the event wasn’t valuable. This person was a friend of mine, so we interacted a bit, and I noticed that every time we would go into a session, they would sit in the back. That’s why they weren’t making connections.

There was a Realtor there that was doing a bunch of different things well in their business, but there were some things that they weren't doing as well.

Of course, I encourage them, and I mean it—most of these people really have what it takes to succeed in real estate—they just have to believe in themselves.
