Our level of success goes beyond financial reward and recognition. In our own way, we are leaders and examples in our community. Our goals and motivation don’t just impact our own lives. 

Performing at a high-level and making our dreams a reality is non-negotiable because it impacts the lives of the people around us. It’s our responsibility to be the best we can be, and that should add fuel to our motivation since a lot is at stake.

What can we do to ensure we reach the goals we’ve set? How can we motivate ourselves to keep pushing the bar and perform at a higher level?

In this episode, we discuss how to stay focused on the duty that is success. 

Perform at the highest level not only for the money you can make, but the example you can set. -Greg Harrelson

In this episode, we’re discussing how to make the most of the final quarter and set ourselves up for a better 2021.

To build booming real estate businesses, we have to tailor our strategies to who we are and where our strengths lie. No two agents are the same, and every market is unique. We have to capitalize on what sets us apart from everyone else. 

That being said, there are some tricks of the trade that will always help us grow, whether we’re new to the industry or looking to reach the next level. 

Which tactics have stood the test of time and helped agents reach new heights of success over the years? As bought leads become the norm, are there any reliable ways to build our businesses organically anymore?

In this episode, Co-Founder of Forward Coaching, Debbie De Grote shares the foolproof tactics that have helped agents grow their businesses both past and present. 

Be consistent. If you do lead gen everyday and you’re great at follow up, everything else takes care of itself. -Greg Harrelson

Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  

Why we need to stay consistent with strategies that work

The secret to long-term success is to continue doing income-generating activities everyday. Don’t stop prospecting or lead generation after seeing results, keep doing them to see even bigger returns over time. 

How to build a bigger sphere without buying leads

Buying leads has become the easy way to find more business, but it’s still possible to grow a sphere organically. Focus on nurturing existing relationships and keeping leads in a funnel. 

How to attract the ideal client as the world moves online

One thing that’s stayed the same over the years is the importance of getting in front of our leads, but what has changed is how we do it. Focus on becoming a “wise advisor” to the ideal client by offering value through educational online resources and events.

We’re living in scary times, and a lot of agents are worried about what tomorrow holds. However, sometimes what keeps us from reaching our dreams isn’t extenuating circumstances. Sometimes the roadblock is our own mindset, and we’ve become too comfortable with the current situation we’re in. 

Whether we’re battling issues beyond our control or our own self-limiting beliefs, it’s important to remember that we have power over the way we respond. Sometimes what scares us the most is success, and it’s important for us to address that if we want to progress. How can we tap into that power and stop being paralyzed by fear? 

How can we shift our focus away from worry? 

In this episode, renowned real estate coach and owner of Century 21 Masters, Neil Schwartz shares how to stop letting fear throw us off our game.

In difficult times like these, it can be hard to know what to focus on in order to keep our businesses going and stay motivated. Some people would say we should coat everything with optimism and positivity, while others want reality and truth. 

Should we commit to constant optimism if we want to see results, or should we accept the negative? 

The answer isn’t as simple as choosing one of two extremes, it’s about balance and taking action. What is the right dose of both optimism and negativity in challenging times and markets? How do we stand out from all the other real estate hopefuls? 

In this episode, real estate coach from Real Estate Skill Builder, David Fanale joins me to discuss mindset and the art of differentiation.
