In real estate, being a broker is the ultimate dream we’re taught to aspire to, but for most people, it’s a nightmare. If you put the ego and bragging rights aside, you’ll find that most brokers aren’t happy.

REPLAY: Shonna Ruble On The “Smack-in-the-Face” Moment That Changed Her Business & Dominating in a New State

Sep 09 2024 44 mins

In an industry that celebrates making rain, GCI, units and volume, it’s really easy to lose sight of why we got into real estate in the first place.

Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, we forget and find ourselves working too much, prioritizing the next meeting, appointment and commission check

Sep 02 2024 36 mins

If you got into real estate 5-6 years ago, you might be forgiven for thinking this business is easy. We didn’t have the low inventory, high interest rates and the commission changes we’re dealing with now. For any agent who started back then, the 2024 market might as well be a whole new industry you have to learn. It was a great time to get into the business, but in order

Whether we like what’s happening in the industry or not, we have to learn how to embrace change. Turbulent and uncertain times aren’t as difficult if we can adapt quickly.

The Most Important Skill Agents Need to Have Right Now w/ Debbie De Grote

Aug 19 2024 22 mins

One of the key skills of a great salesperson is negotiation, but for the last decade, real estate agents could get away with no having it. Deals were so easy to put together, we didn’t have to fine tune our persuasion and communication abilities. Many agents have never had to do deep negotiation. Even veteran agents who came up in tougher markets need to brush up on that skill to

Why It’s Hard to Run a Real Estate Business in 2024 w/ Frank Klesitz

Aug 12 2024 45 mins

Selling real estate in 2024 isn’t at all what it was between 2010 and 2022, and a lot of agents are feeling the squeeze. Most of us built and ran our businesses in low interest rate environments, so this market is completely unfamiliar to us. Running a real estate team is a lot more stressful than it used to be. Deals are harder to put together, we have stricter and newer rules t

Jul 29 2024 68 mins

Time is finite but so many of us are just not purposeful with it. People plan how they go to a movie better than they plan their life, the relationships they have. It’s amazing how calculated we are about our movies and vacations but we don’t do the same thing in our personal worlds. Hard work is a key to success but what’s the point if there’s no true balance? So many o

Potluck Recruiting: How to Grow Through Community and Leveraged Relationships w/ Chris Bowers

Jul 22 2024 51 mins

A lot of people who would be exceptional recruiters don’t do it because it feels like too much of a burden. The idea of building tens or even hundreds of relationships and nurturing them just feels like too much of a logistical nightmare. And it would be…which is why it’s the wrong way to do it. If you had a recruiting strategy that was based in building community, it would

Focus on The Billion Dollar Idea and Dump Everything Else w/ Andrew Abernathey

Jul 15 2024 56 mins

As driven entrepreneurs and hungry investors, we’re always searching for that big idea or once-in-a-lifetime deal. Then we find ourselves in a bunch of random businesses and investments in a bid to increase the odds of success. More often than not, that only leads to a loss of focus and ultimately, a loss of wealth. What if getting to that billion dollar idea is as simple as pi
