I’m going to be brutally honest with you.

And it’s not because I want to confront you. I do it more from a place of care-frontation. I want what’s best for you, so I’m not going to look the other way when I see detrimental behavior taking place. As a coach, that’s my job to call it out.

So here goes…

I believe a lot of agents have “furloughed themselves” during this crisis. They’re sitting on the sidelines when the game is very much still being played.

And if that’s you, and it was an intentional choice you made to spend more time with your loved ones or recharge your batteries, fine. I’m happy for you to have that luxury.

But if the only reason you’re not taking action is because you’re telling yourself nothing can be done right now, I think you need to tell yourself a better story.

And if you won’t do it yourself, I’ll tell it for you.

Now More Than Ever, Mindset Matters

There’s no question that the crisis we’re facing today is difficult. It is.

That means it’s time to rise to the occasion.

You got into this business to help people with one of the largest transactions they’ll conduct in their lifetime. For those consumers active in the market now, the stakes are even higher – they need your expert advice now more than ever.

I’d encourage you to remind yourself of that fact and adopt that mindset to spur yourself into action.

Because I’m extremely encouraged by what I’m seeing from many agents today.

Determined Agents Are Still Winning

You see, we’ve been doing these near-daily webinars for Pivot, our new low-cost program designed to provide the guidance and inspiration to help people through these unprecedented times. I like to start the webinars a few minutes early and ask people to share some of their “wins” with me as Pivot members and coaching members join the Zoom meeting.

The response has been… well, beautiful.

Here’s an unedited sampling of 36 “wins” these Rockstar agents have shared with me, pulled straight from the Zoom transcripts.
