The Making Agents Rich Show with Darin Persinger & Jonathan Rivera

"Have you heard of entrepreneurial ADD? I think it's really an excuse, where you can't tie yourself down for too long? I have that. So when I get into something, I read it up to the point where I find something that I have to do or want to do, and I stop reading it right there, bookmark it, and then I go try it." - Jonathan Rivera

"If you are someone that is an employee and you're looking for ways to become more productive or maybe you're thinking about becoming a real estate agent, realize that your time management system should be very different." - Darin Persinger

"Ballantyne's Law: The more you know about how to do the technological things on the Internet, the less money you're going to make. Let someone else worry about the lighting, the camera, the audio, and you just be the expert in what it is that you do." - Darin Persinger

"Taking action is a muscle. You need to build up your muscles of taking action even if this seems silly or foolish to you." - Darin Persinger

"Do you see how precious your time is? How important it is? You've got to protect it. You've got to protect your time. You've got to protect every minute of it. This is how much it's worth." - Darin Persinger

"I've worked with agents that are like great at physical fitness stuff. They are very disciplined about showing up to the gym at the same time every day. And they're big and they're strong and they're healthy and they look great. And when I go, "Okay, block up this time and lead generate," they just can't do it because they are using so much discipline in other areas of their life." - Darin Persinger

"But how can you be too busy to grow your business? I mean, that seems like an oxymoron. Too busy to me is always a cop out. I try not to say I'm too busy for anything. I'd rather just say, "Hey, I don't want to do that" or "That's not important to me."" - Jonathan Rivera

"I think all of us were wasting a lot of time there for a while as we have talked about before, this perfect storm of as the real estate market was tanking and the Internet social media was kind of making this big wave. A lot of us went all in on the idea of technology and social media and Internet marketing because it was free or very cheap and we weren't quite sure how to deal with the new market." - Darin Persinger

"I think a lot of agents want to sit there and go, "How can I help this person? I really want to help them. What can I do to help them?" They don't want help. You've got to be able to be strong enough to walk away." - Darin Persinger

"We're obsessed with this celebrity thing, and I just want to point out that celebrity does not equate to wealth. All celebrity equates to is celebrity." - Darin Persinger
