What if your biggest business problem isn't that you're working too hard — it's that you're working as the wrong person? In this Quick Cut, Garrett opens with a simple question: who wins in a race between a Lamborghini and a nine-passenger van? The answer is obvious. But the real question — the one most agents never ask — is why are you trying to become a Lamborghini when you were designed to be something else entirely?

Garrett breaks down one of the most common and costly mistakes in real estate: chasing someone else's version of success. The industry has convinced agents that there's one way to win — cold call, door knock, buy leads, grind on social media. But that model doesn't account for the fact that you were specifically and intentionally wired by God to operate in a way that's unique to you. When you ignore that, you don't just underperform — you burn out.

Drawing from his own experience with anxiety attacks in late 2023 and early 2024, Garrett gets personal about what happens when misalignment goes unchecked. He shares how Psalm 131 became an anchor in that season, and how he came to understand that burnout isn't always about overwork — it's often about the exhaustion of pretending to be someone you're not.

This episode is a call to stop running the wrong race and start building toward who you were actually made to be.

Key Takeaways

• The industry has failed agents, not the other way around. New agents come in with no clear pathway and are handed a one-size-fits-all model for success. Most never question it — and that's where the problem starts.
• Misalignment eventually leads to burnout. Garrett shares how operating outside his design — including starting an Amazon business that had nothing to do with who he is — contributed to a serious anxiety attack. Operating against your wiring is like running into the wind all day. You can't sustain it.
• Albert Einstein said it best. If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life believing it's stupid. There are a lot of fish in real estate being told to climb trees — and they're wondering why they keep failing.
• Success is less about effort and more about alignment. Garrett built his entire business — over 650 homes sold — through relationships alone. No cold calls. No door knocking. No open houses. Not because he's special, but because he understood how he was wired and leaned into it instead of away from it.
• The comparison trap is real and costly. Social media has made it easier than ever to look at what other agents are doing and feel like you're falling behind. That constant comparison, stacked on top of industry pressure, pushes agents further from their own design.
• You don't need to become someone different. You need to get better at being you. The goal isn't an excuse for laziness — it's a call to pursue excellence within your design. What do you naturally love? What are you already good at? Go deeper there.
• God made you on purpose. Your wiring, your strengths, your way of doing business — none of it was accidental. Honoring that design and pursuing excellence within it is how you honor the One who made you.
• Everybody wins when they operate inside their design. The Lamborghini wins the race. The van wins the road trip. The fish wins underwater. Michael Jordan wins on the basketball court. Your breakthrough may not come from trying harder — it may come from finally becoming more fully yourself.
