The parallels between professional sports and high-performance real estate are striking, especially when viewed through the journey of someone who's excelled in both arenas. Cameron Cullum's transformation from NRL footballer to leading property agent offers a masterclass in transferable skills, resilience, and strategic team building.

Cameron spent years in the trenches of professional rugby, enduring five gruelling NRL pre-seasons before finally making his debut at 22. This extended apprenticeship taught him patience and perseverance that would later become cornerstone qualities in his real estate career. A chance meeting with established agent Andrew Reibelt opened the door to property sales – a field where Cameron would discover his second professional calling.

What makes his story particularly compelling is the methodical way he approached growth. Starting as an associate who "never had to find business," Cameron had to develop prospecting skills from scratch when launching his own operation under the "supported by Image" model. His first year generated an impressive $330,000 in commission, but what followed demonstrates his exceptional capacity for continuous improvement. Today, his three-person team targets $1.6 million annually with a disciplined approach to accountability and performance.

Perhaps most instructive is Cameron's team-building philosophy. Rather than seeking experienced agents, he prioritises mindset – hiring individuals like Sheldon, whom he observed completing the challenging "75 Hard" program while working at the local council. This emphasis on discipline and commitment over industry background has created a high-performance culture where teammates hold each other accountable while remaining supportive.

Want to build a real estate business that consistently outperforms? Listen to Cameron's insights on creating clear targets, developing resilience through rejection, and applying sporting principles to property sales. This episode offers a roadmap for transforming determination and disciplined habits into exceptional results, regardless of your starting point in the industry.
