Biggest Takeaways:

• Know all about Quantum Leap & how it can impact your personal & professional life!

Dick, who is the Operating Partner for Keller Williams Market Centers in Plano Texas, Carmel California, & for the Keller Williams Northern California/Hawaii Region, & the is the serving Dean of Keller Williams University Faculty, started off in residential real estate in 1977. He opened the Plano market center & developed the Northern California region which later became the Northern California-Hawaii region.

When Gary Keller started Keller Williams University in 1996, Dick was part of the chosen few to teach Quantum Leap.

When he was first asked to teach Quantum Leap, Dick wasn’t very excited because during that time, only Gary Keller taught the course; it was one of the most fortuitous things that happened to him. According to Dick, Quantum Leap is a class on how to have the best life possible. It is about how to have a purposeful life – to have anything purposeful; any task you take on where you want to become purposeful. The very first step in achieving a purposeful life is to enrich your thinking. You must think about your life & figure out who you are. You must have clarity of your own values & make sure that your activities are in line with those values. Don’t build a life base on expectations of others, start making decisions based on better criteria versus the expectations created by either culture or family.

Dick emphasized the importance of building an internal world before seeing it play out in real life. The mind is a great servant but a cruel master. The belief is everything happens twice; the first time in your mind & the second time in your deed. As they say, good thoughts lead to good deeds & good deeds lead to a good reputation. Just like what Gary’s vision was. He pictured an international company in his mind that would make history, & Keller Williams became a global brand. One’s internal world is also influenced by people you let inside your circle. One should hang out with people who are good models & will fill your mind with enabling thoughts.

The 3 stages of life (learning, earning & living) were also discussed by Dick. He said that Gary used to talk about how many don’t know how to balance these 3 which leads to a person experiencing burnout & postponing his joy.

Quantum Leap has defined the 4 areas of a wealthy life: life productivity, personal productivity, business productivity & financial productivity. You can’t proceed with your life until you understand yourself, what your goals are, & your values. What is your big why? What is your purpose? BOLD is BE, DO, HAVE, GIVE. BECOME is to learn who you are before you go out & attack or what to go out & emphasize or where to go find your joy & then you have to be successful at that in order to HAVE because you can’t GIVE unless you HAVE. You can’t HAVE unless you DO & you can’t DO until you know who you want to BE. It makes perfect sense that there’s a natural order to these 4 categories.
