See that picture up above? It’s been a long time since we’ve had that kind of electric energy in a room. Which is just one of many reasons why I can’t wait for Summit to begin next Tuesday! Here are 10 more…   Reason No. 1: Hugs & High-Fives Are Back! The Summit will be […]

100 days… When this blog publishes at 12:00 a.m. on September 23, that’s what’s left in 2021. Tick tock, tick tock. Whether you’re looking to finish the year strong or wanting to set yourself up for success in 2022, now is the time to act. And I’ve got six steps for you to follow that […]

I couldn’t help but smile. I was reading a post in one of our private mastermind groups for coaching members where one guy posted a concern about a marketing piece he had hired someone to create. The details don’t really matter. The short version is he wasn’t sure this marketing piece represented him exactly. It’s […]

Ever see one of those time-lapse videos of a seed sprouting and growing into a plant? It’s fascinating because it’s one of the only times we get to visually witness growth taking place with our own eyes. Why do I bring it up? Because growth doesn’t happen instantaneously. It takes time… including the systems you’ll […]

Here’s a quick recap of the last 20 months… Start. Stop. Start again. Go. Go. Go! Never slow down! 2020 started with a bang, the market was hot, then Covid introduced tons of tragedy, fear and uncertainty… and pretty much brought real estate to a standstill. Then a few months later, things opened back up […]

Being a coach means playing lots of different roles – teacher, mentor, motivator, accountability partner. And sometimes, psychologist-slash truth-teller. In other words, sometimes I’ve got to cut through the BS and call people on the stories they’re telling themselves. So let’s walk through a common conversation I have with agents who ask me for advice […]

But only one has longevity… the real “professionals” will always outlast the “hobbyists.” Which begs the question: What does it take to become a true […]

Few people – if any – have influenced my perspective on marketing more than the one and only Seth Godin. He’s written a bunch of great books. (I actually own two prized copies of his epic 17-pound release.) His blog is legendary. He’s launched countless successes through his AltMBA and Akimbo workshops. And now… He’s appearing […]

Who remembers “The Decision” in 2010 when a 25-year-old LeBron James warranted an hour-long live TV special to announce that he was “taking his talents to South Beach”? Why was it such a big deal? Because at 25 and already a two-time league MVP, LeBron’s next contract would determine where he played his prime years… […]

I’ve often said your role as a real estate professional is to solve problems for a profit. The agents who are figuring out how to solve today’s problems are killin’ it… And those who aren’t putting in that effort are, well, struggling. Ninety-one percent of all commissions right now are being earned by the top […]

Are you the best agent in your market? Most agents I talk to would say yes, they are. And it’s not an ego thing. It’s the pride they take in their work that pushes them to provide better service than other agents. I’d go so far to say that in a highly competitive industry like […]
