Elevate Real Estate Podcast

This is not something that is talked about often enough. It begins and ends in your personal world.

L - Leadership. Grow it.

O - Opportunity. Find it.

V - Vision. Create it.

E - Experience. Enjoy it.

The most passionate people win. Take charge and raise your hand. Leadership is nothing more than influence, it’s about your ability to influence others. How do you cultivate influence? Become a master of your craft. If you’re showing passion in what you’re doing, people will follow. Be intentional about getting into conversations with higher level thinkers. It may seem intimidating to ask successful people for help, but these top producers recognize talent and passion and are usually willing to help if you put yourself out there and ask.

Our job here is to find opportunity. I love this quote: “The harder I work the luckier I get.” This is true in finding and recognizing opportunity. Sure, some people might have an upper hand. No matter where you are on that spectrum, if you can show up everyday the opportunity will be developed and cultivated by your ability to seek it out. If you’re not growing yourself, you cannot grow other people. As your self leadership grows, your ability to identify opportunity is elevated.

Create it. As a leader this is one of the most important jobs. This is not just in your business, this is also in your personal life. Taking the time to dream is paramount as a leader. What could life look like in this area? In 5 years what does my dream day look like? You can create it. It’s all in those little steps we take everyday.

Enjoy it. It’s okay to be selfish and take care of yourself. I haven’t done this well but identifying areas you give a little too much in is important. You probably need other people in your world to tell you when you’re doing it. You can’t give what you don’t have. If the cup is empty you can’t pour anymore out. How are you pouring into yourself so you can pour into others?

You should be identifying opportunities everyday where you can have a great experience. Maybe it’s leaving the office early and enjoying the outdoors or going to a coffee shop.

Today’s episode with Andrew Holder is packed with wisdom, practical advice for real estate agents, and action steps. Andrew is the assistant team leader at Keller Williams Elite in Oklahoma City. He graduated from college in 2012, got a job in Corporate America, and 2 years later made the transition to Real Estate.

Throughout life we will face opposition. Newsflash: not everyone is going to agree with every decision you make. Andrew continues on to talk about what that opposition did for him when he was leaving his salaried position to make the jump into real estate.

You have to identify what your why is. Why are you getting up and putting in the work? Andrew talks about his why being proving people wrong. What is it for you? It could be paying for kids private school, taking a family vacation every year, having financial freedom, or maybe it’s freedom in your schedule.

Leaders are learners. If you desire to have any kind of growth in your business you have to learn from people who are doing better from you. Many top producers are always willing to help new agents if they ask for it. Another newsflash: top producers aren’t going to come to you to give you advice. Real estate is all about relationships. The worst someone can say is no, and that’s not that bad.

Focusing on sales is very important but growing yourself is too. Business doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to handle the business. Learn the systems, learn the business, learn the industry. The real estate industry is evolving and changing everyday, it’s crucial to stay on top of it and have a pulse on what is happening.

I am so excited to have my friend, team leader, and broker, Jennifer Arsenault, on the podcast today. She is an incredible woman, leader, inspiration, broker, friend, and mother. In this episode, she and I sit down to discuss her story, advice for real estate agents, and how she got into the business.

Jennifer’s story is one of adversity, triumph, and hard work. She opens up about the challenges she faced during her adolescent years and early 20s, including sexual abuse. The conversation continues into how Jennifer got her start in real estate through property management, how she became the team leader and broker of her Keller Williams office, what someone should have if they want to start a career in real estate, and so much more.

If you are someone in real estate, an entrepreneur, have an interest in a career in real estate, or just enjoy hearing stories of triumph, this episode is for you. You can listen below or clicking HERE to listen on iTunes, Spotify, or Stitcher.
