On this 224th episode of my Monday Morning Pep Talk, I will discuss the current landscape in the real estate brokerage industry which and some of the recent reactions I've seen pop up with more and more frequency. First of all, I need to apologize. Through my Take Flight V4.0 episodes in 2023, at times, I may have come across as though building a real estate brokerage business is easy. It's anything but easy. It takes time and effort with radical commitment and consistency to get to 30,000 feet. Going into this MMPT, I started a list of what I've heard as pain points for some of you and I'll give you my thoughts as if we were one on one.
