Motivational Monday with LPT Realty

How Distraction Steals Success From Agents


Listen Later

Reminder: It is not about hype.

In this episode of Motivational Monday with LPT Realty, Robert Palmer and Matthew Hodge open the year with a powerful conversation on staying locked in after one of the hardest real estate markets in decades. With home sales near historic lows for multiple years, many agents are feeling stretched, distracted, and tempted by shiny new opportunities that promise easy money.

Robert breaks down why real estate agents are especially vulnerable to distraction after long downturns, why nothing meaningful is truly passive, and why staying committed to real estate first is the smartest path to wealth in 2026. He explains how chasing side opportunities, tools, or “magic pills” can quietly pull agents away from the very moment the market is about to turn.

This episode reinforces why consistency beats novelty, why focus compounds, and why 2026 is the year to finish what you started. If you have survived the last four years, this conversation will help you stay aligned, confident, and ready to win when pent-up demand finally breaks loose.

👉 2026 is the year of focus! Stay in the game. Stay locked in.
