Breakthrough with Chris Medellin

Opening Quote: "... Shut the noise. Make sure you're doing something for yourself as far as personal development. You know, you're pouring into yourself because you're constantly pouring onto others. But if you're not fueling that cup, filling it up every day, you're running on empty and you can't give anything else out after that. So whether it's affirmations, personal development, reading something, having a coach, you know, you need to be able to do that and keep showing up for yourself..."        - Maritza Cortazar

Opening Quote: "...we either go through a little bit of trauma that, you know, we can have a great life or we go through massive trauma like me. But I know one thing, the opposite of despair is hope. And so if I can go out there and deal some hope to people and you'll be a dope healer, like then I'm gonna end this world and people are gonna come to my funeral or people are gonna say something about me and it's not gonna involve Sean being a great mortgage guy..."                -  Shawn Kaplan

Opening Quote: "...Comes through with a different attitude and it's no longer the attitude that I can't fail. The attitude now is I am going to fail because it's a business that we don't control those markets, we don't control inventory, we don't control interest rates. We're all selling a product that's very similar. Right. So how do you separate yourself from the masses? and the lesson that I learned is just to keep going..."

Opening Quote: "...I would just say it. It's it wasn't even humbling for me. It's just a smart move. Yeah. Every guy that I know that's a top guy has a coach, you know, That's just what you got to do. You got to have somebody hold you accountable. People are sharing best practices on a level and on a level that you don't have access to. So I would just say that you know, getting a coach necessary, find a way to get somebody in the game that can help you share ideas, hold you accountable. And we'll see how where it takes me..."                              - Mike Pehrson

Opening Quote: "...you know, I work with real estate agents about building their personal brand, and showing up on social media is a huge part of building your brand. And I always have agents who, like, want the most polished, perfect video with the perfect transitions, with the music, with whatever all these things and the captions and all that and I'm like, You're not even there yet. You're trying to like, be the Ferrari. And we're starting in a Civic, like, let us just start right here with the Civic and then we can build to that, right? But no one is ever no one likes to be a beginner..."

Opening Quote: "...when I was working at the financial institution, I eventually got my MLO license there and then I started learning about mortgage loans and it wasn't until then, years after leaving the Army that I finally learned how to use my VA loan for working, and as soon as I started learning all this stuff, I was like,  hold on, why don't they have classes on this? Like if on base or like, why did I learn all the, all these other things? I've never even knew that I could do this and then I ended up buying my first house like a month after learning because I knew how."                  - Reese Laufasa

Opening Quote: "...If you're not willing to change and you're not willing to grow, you're just going to die and you're just going to like you can probably live comfortably, you know, doing the same thing over and over again, like those dinosaurs that are still doing from there who are if once from their database or whatever have you. But if you're not willing to, you know, tell your story, bring in, you know, actual inquiries and bring in people that are going to pull you up and then literally talk about things that no one wants to talk about or answer questions on a regular basis. You know, just being out there, being a good person."                                                                   - Chris Lee

Opening Quote: "...Take it as a learning lesson so that you never do it again, because these shifts that we're having in the market are not a matter of if they happen. It's always a matter of when they come. They're cyclical, things go up, and things go down. That's just the way economies work. So live within your means next time around for sure. If you already were, then good job because you obviously learned something or somebody taught it to you and just focus on making yourself better, hone your craft, get better at your message, figure out what value it is you bring your own respective markets and focus on putting out that message. The deals will come. We're not that far away from another little shift in our favor whether it's to lower rates or a little bit more inventory, things will move."                                  - Arjun Dhingra
