We'll challenge some widely accepted beliefs and dig into the facts that often get overlooked. Are we really making decisions based on truth, or are we letting fiction guide our lives?

From building a strong team to understanding the importance of relentless follow-up, Jeff explains how these principles apply across all industries.
If you're a leader looking to grow your company or an agent wanting to scale your business, this episode is packed with actionable insights.

3) Be hungry enough to actually do something about it.
We all have something in our lives that we are not doing the work on. We don't seek out help like we should. Many would rather live the lie than assess where they are.
If you're life was exposed, would you be proud?
Terri has been in real estate for 30 years. She works with a lot of older clients. For her, real estate is more about consulting that selling.
Her best advice: Find a balance that works for you. Don't be afraid to hire someone to help you with things you don't like to do or can't do.
I want to be sure we are not disappointed by the results we aren't getting as a result of the work we are not doing. Are you doing the work to get the results you want? Do the work. Be consistent. Show up.

This song centers and grounds me. There is something out there for you. When you set a goal, you have to have the why. Find that song that turns your attitude around. There is no time like the present to get things done. Find the song that draws you into the moment.
January is a great time to get back to the basics. There are a lot of tools to use when geofarming. Identify the area you want to geofarm, be sure to be extremely familiar with this are.

I use real or percieved enemies/challenges in my life as a competative drive. One thing I know for sure, is Rambo may have won the war on the big screen, but it was a movie. Real life is a team sport. There is a difference between deciding to do something and taking action to do it. Success comes with the assistance of others.
Three actions to take NOW:
1) Get a mentor
2) Surround yourself with people that are winning in that space
3) Leverage Your Team
Inspiration from "Aint Gonna Die Tonight" by Macklemore
Sometimes things go different way and it's easy to feel sorry for yourself. Don't worry about what others are up to, focus on yourself. Go all in on yourself while blocking out the noise. Show up every single day and do the work; they are not gonna take away your spirit.
What are the top agents doing to get the business?

The average person reads no more than 20 books per year, however CEOs read an average of 60. Reading is a great way to build, improve, and better your business. Try to read and expand yourself to get more books read this year.
Thinking back over the year and going into the new year, think about what you expect. Expect more from the next year than just wanting to survive. Establish high expectations of yourself and those around you. Level up yourself and others - that is leadership!
Unbelievable for you to have books to read, f you do something with it! You have to do something with the material you read. If you don’t apply anything you read, it doesn’t matter. Build relationships this year and commit to this for 2022
Goals are specific to us. Tie your why you your goals. How do you want to describe yourself and how are you going to get there? Set your goals! It’s not as simple as it seems. Write out a bunch of things you want to do. Then reflect on these. Select 1-2 goals in each category. Be specific on your goals. Next week we will finish these goals and make them SMART.
Special Guest, Kristie Long from the Vail office, talks about becoming a new agent during the pandemic and finding success in the industry. She shares her tips and tricks to stay focused and on track.
What would a great year give you that you've never experienced before? As you are coming up with your 2022 goals, there are three important questions to keep in mind. Is this your goal or someone else's? Do you have the means to make it happen? Is it worth your time? Remember, winning wants all of your attention. Make sure you're spending your time and energy on the goals that will make you win.
Identifying your core values can be intimidating. But, when you understand what matters most to you, you open the door for setting and achieving goals that will further your personal growth. Learn how to uncover your core values and use them to build a Distinctive life in today's Fitspo Friday episode with Shannon Conklin.
Guest Lesley Norton, an agent from our Vail market, discusses her experiences as a new agent. During the start of the pandemic, she found a scholarship to learn real estate through her neighbor and fellow agent. Her background is in corporate services made for a big transition to the real estate field. Keeping a list and writing things down helps her keep herself accountable.
If you're looking outside for value, it creates the problem that you're living life for others and what they believe. Top professionals - they believe in themselves, they had to do the thing even though there were 'haters' around them. You have to achieve your value from inside yourself. If you make the choice to judge you, believe in you, give yourself the benefit of the doubt, and give yourself the accolades you deserve, you'll have the best year ever!
First layer: Talent! Every single person has talent in something.
Second layer: Intelligence! You need to be intelligent on your craft.
Third layer: Competitiveness! You can have all the talent and smarts in the world, but this doesn't give you anything unless you have the drive to compete.
Final layer: Resilience! This is the power to stay in it when your fear is telling you to run.
We're all planning and goal setting right now. Start laying the foundation for identifying your goals and the progress you can make to achieve them. Compounding is present in personal growth. The first step is to identifying your core values. These are your fundamental beliefs that guide you. Focus on three of these values. Identifying these values helps you to make your best choices
Today Kelsey discusses how long she's been in real estate, what got her involved, the rewards involved, best practices, what its like being a woman in the business, and what the future may hold.
Everyday we have the choice to tell people or we can ask people. Everyone knows that person that injects their experience into your story. Some people fee like they need to have all of the answers. But nobody cares what your solution is until you know what the problem is. Before you tell anyone anything, ask 5 questions. Remember: it's not about you.
In sports, there is a reason we keep score. In business, there are fields and level of results that track and measure. You've got to reach your goals - no matter who set them for you. At the end of the day, it's about keeping score. I can't afford to not try. Go win: the day, the hour, the appointment, the workout. Win something that sets the tone for the next time you do it. Reprogram your brain to know if you are winning or losing.
Why put off until tomorrow what you can do today? Set incremental steps and you will get to your goals. 1% better or worse each day is insignificant and easy to miss. It doesn't seem like a big deal in the moment, but it accrues over time. Stack tiny habits and you will start to identify as one those people who embody your goals.
Shirley Monroe is an agent in Twin Falls, ID. She has been an agent for 4-5 months and has seen great success in a short amount of time. Shirley discusses her inspiration to get into real estate, balancing her goals and finding a work-life balance, and what she is looking forward in 2022.
Her best advice: Stay positive and things will work out!
Life is not meant to be endured. It's meant to be lived. You have to make a choice to make that happen. You can choose to endure life or you can choose to thrive. You can wait or you can go get it. You can settle for relationships as they are or you can invest in your relationships. In every single area of our life, we are given the choice to endure or to thrive.
99% of the harm is caused by you and your thoughts. 1% is caused by reality. If you see something not work once, you assume it doesn't work. This is because the harm is in your head. Let the reality play itself out. Block out the nay-sayers; make changes for the positive.
Think about starting a daily gratitude practice to find the positive things in life. To inspire you, Susanne shares a few quotes about gratitude. May you celebrate this year with family, friends, and the ones you truly love!
Talk is cheap: actions speak louder than words. When someone is telling you who they are through their actions: believe them. We all want to experience loyalty and be appreciated. We want to experience that commitment. Loyalty starts somewhere; it doesn't happen out of thin air. Loyal people are surrounded by other loyal people.
Our success is often around how long, consistent, and loyal we are to doing the work. You get back what you put out into the world.
We have so much to be grateful for. Take a look at your tribe and be thankful. Then build relationships start writing handwritten notes to people. Start rebuilding connections and past relationships. Give back to your people, use that as a reason to reach out. Having a reason to call is simple. Reach out and have a different perspective this year.
Thanksgiving is about gratitude and satisfies our basic human need to pause. This year, challenge yourself to be intentional beforehand. Be present and marinate in the spirit of Thanksgiving. Foster habits of mindfulness so you can be present.
Special Guests, Heather Press and Joni Klein are two women succeeding in the real estate world. Today they discuss how they have built their businesses individually and the value of flexibility and teamwork.
When we see people succeed, we often forget to honor the hard work they put in. The real area we should be proud of is that they dared to have a goal. They identified a plan to get there. They identified their challenges.
Distractions are everywhere. For some people it's social media, the emails, the ESPN updates, etc. When we blame these distractions, the reality is we are not recognizing the constant is us. We are the reason we have distractions. If you can put these off to the side, you can put things on your done list. Stay focused on what you're doing.
Lessons from Leaders
- Win early.
- It’s easy to not do something if you’re alone.
- In every room there is a rabbit.
- We are more capable than we think we are.
- We all have excuses.
Kelly Maves, from Grand Junction, discusses her perspective as a woman in real estate and what she has accomplished in her career.
Consistency is: doing the thing you said you’d do long after the mood you said you’d do it in has passed. When people achieve their goals, don’t be impressed with the outcome. Be impressed with the consistency that led to the outcome. It’s is easier to stay with something than to get there. Look for those being consistent and find out how they do it.
Some items stay on your to-do list and never get done. Do yourself a favor: either do the thing on the list or take it off the list. Don’t keep it on the back burner. It’s taking your energy to keep it on the back burner. Taking it off the list will let you focus on what you actually can do.
When everyone is greedy, be fearful. When everyone is fearful, be greedy. There is not a lot of uncertainty. There is inflation. Interest rates are going up. Market is slowing a little. This is something to get prepared for. When the market adjusts, there are opportunities. It looks like it will be an investor market.
Suggestions to get prepared:
- Build an investors list.
- Put together foreclosure lists.
- Contact banks.
- Building a fund.
- Using iBuyers
- Use RealSure
- Build your CRM
- Build your online brand

The end game is to give someone the greatest experience ever!

What have you been doing? What can you do to add to this? Remember: taking a different path to get to the end result is okay!
We judge others by their actions and ourselves by our intentions. An intention is a wish or idea that someone means to carry out. An action is something that is done or performed. The bridge that enables us to cross that divide is commitment.
