Do you know what to say "yes" to and what to say "no" to? In this episode, Garrett discusses two main points from the book Essentialism by Greg McKeown. The first point is about making decisions based on whether something is a 'heck yes' or not. Garrett encourages listeners to prioritize their time and say no to things that are not a strong yes. The second point is about zero-based scheduling, where Garrett advises starting from scratch and intentionally choosing what to include in the schedule. He emphasizes the importance of being intentional with time and not letting pride or laziness dictate the schedule.

Takeaways

Prioritize your time and say no to things that are not a 'heck yes'
Start from scratch when scheduling and intentionally choose what to include
Don't let pride or laziness dictate your schedule

Garrett delivers a sobering truth to the agent who's working long hours “for their family” but barely sees them. He challenges the idea that hustle equals honor and that sacrifice equals success.

Through vulnerable storytelling and biblical wisdom, Garrett invites you to rethink your business metrics. Real ROI isn’t just income—it’s time, presence, peace, and purpose. If your business is costing your marriage, your parenting, or your soul—it's time to realign your goals with God's.

Key Takeaways:
✅ Success without peace isn’t success worth having
✅ Your business should serve your life—not steal from it
✅ Saying “I’m doing this for my family” means little if you're never actually present
✅ The real ROI is time, peace, and legacy—not just profit
✅ You can build a business that multiplies presence and purpose

Chapters:
00:00 – Intro: The Hidden Cost of Success
00:18 – Shifting the Purpose of Your Work
00:30 – When Your Business Drains Your Family
00:41 – Multiplying Peace Through Your Business

Scripture Highlight:
📖 “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” – Psalm 127:1

🟡 Reflective Question:
What’s one thing your business is taking from your family today that God never asked you to give?

Garrett speaks directly to the agent who’s tired of pretending everything is fine. In a culture obsessed with performance and image—especially in real estate—Garrett challenges the belief that success requires perfection.

You’ll learn why choosing obedience to God over appearance isn’t just spiritually right—it’s strategically wise. With transparency and truth, Garrett shares how one toxic client nearly pulled him away from his family and how letting go of appearances helped him reclaim peace, obedience, and impact.

If you’re struggling with burnout, pressure, or the need to appear like you have it all together—this one is for you.

Key Takeaways:
✅ Obedience to God is more valuable than the applause of others
✅ You don't have to maintain a perfect image to succeed in real estate
✅ Real peace comes when your work aligns with your faith
✅ Authenticity builds more trust than performance ever could
✅ God’s favor matters more than clout in this industry

Chapters:
00:00 – Introduction: The Weight of Appearance
00:12 – The Pressure to Perform
00:26 – Choosing Obedience Over Optics
00:40 – The Call to Authenticity

Scripture Highlight:
📖 1 Samuel 16:7 – “The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

🟡 Reflective Question:
Where in your business are you most tempted to protect your image instead of honor your Father in heaven?

The truth is, most agents have built a treadmill, not a business. No closings? No income. No showing? No security. No pipeline? No hope.
But what if that didn’t have to be your future? What if there was a model designed to give you freedom—not just more transactions? There is an exit strategy. And if you’ve never heard that before—consider this your wake-up call.

Scarcity is a spirit—and it’s loud in this industry. You’re told if someone else wins, you lose. If you rest, you fall behind. If you slow down, you’ll get swallowed up.
But God's economy is different. There is more than enough.
You can live and build from a place of abundance, not fear. But it takes a mindset shift—and a trust shift.
