Check out this great book by Brendon Burchard!
Why do people fail after their initial spark of motivation. Why don’t they fan the flames to keep it going? Self-oppression, fear of what other will think, fear of failure.
You can find your “why” but that isn’t sustainable long term. You need to dig deeper than the surface and find the spark and keep it burning.
Trust me…if you have it in you to START - You have it in you to FINISH!
Check out my interview with long-time friend John Bitley. John is the person who gave me an opportunity in the year 2000 that changed the trajectory of my life. We will talk about his career with Chippendales, aerial acrobatics, Las Vegas shows and his current modeling and acting career.
This is my unusual story of persistence and struggle in the real estate industry. The fallout rate for new agents is somewhere between 70-85% depending on what article you read. So only about 3 out of 10 agents make it longer than 1 year. I would have been a statistic if it wasn't for my sheer persistence (stubbornness). I sold about 6 houses my first 2 years in the business and then quit. Realizing that I would't be able to make a decent living (I had no college degree), I pressed forward to eventually going from selling 4 homes in 2007 to 80 homes in 2008 through my foreclosure marketing plan, to opening up my own Brokerage in 2014 and now employ several agents who consistently sell 40-70 homes per year in a regular work work. Real Estate sales is hard work but it's rewarding spiritually, emotionally and financially...and if you do it right you don't need to burn out working 80 hours to make a decent living. Thanks for checking out this episode and share it with someone who needs to hear this story. Remember...start your day with Gratitude!

From Broke Agent to Broker Owner! (Read that however you want 😂) But seriously…this episode is the story of my persistence (stubbornness) and how I pretty much sucked at selling real estate. I now own my own Brokerage and have sold nearly 900 homes in the last 14 years and 100 million in sales. I'm also a real estate coach training and mentoring others to avoid all the dumb mistakes I made!

The market doesn't slow down in the winter...
Real Estate Agents slow down in the winter...
Here's why...
• it's hunting season...I don't want to show homes
• it's Thanksgiving...no one wants to home shop
• it's snowing...no one wants to home shop
• it's Christmas...I deserve 2 weeks off....
• it's January and cold...no one wants to home shop
🤦🏼♂️ Keep telling yourself these things and it will become your reality...don't believe me? Try it!
😂 j/k please don't!
Try this instead…
I'm going to close 4 homes in January by...
✅ I'll get 1 new listing and write 4 buyer offers...or
✅ I'll get 2 new listings and write 3 buyer offers...or
✅ I'll get 4 new listings in hot neighborhoods this week...or
✅ I'll write 6 buyer offer this week
Do any of these combos and you'll close 4 in January from your activities THIS WEEK!

What is your Super Power?
Mine is not really worrying what people think about me.
Did Zillow worry about what Real Estate Brokers would think? No...and they are making billions off of real estate agents buying leads.
Did Uber worry about what the Taxi industry would think? No...and now we have a much needed service that no one knew they really needed until it started.
Stop worrying and be a disrupter in your market!
