We often know the answer to a question before we even think about asking it. So here’s the question: if you know that a friend is going to say no to an invitation, do you still ask them? In this episode we’ll personally explore why it’s always best to ask.. the reasons might surprise you!

Getting started is hard. But it would be a lot easier if you knew everything that Caryn knows about the business when you were just getting started. This isn't just for rookies either, there are plenty of tips in here for pros 5-10 years into their journey.  

Growing an empire is tough work. You almost never have the luxury of being able to focus on only one thing at a time, so how do you come to embrace and even master multi-tasking? Furthermore, how do you find and hire people who can also handle the increasing demands of your growing business? Well luckily Caryn is an expert level multi-tasker and is currently in the stage of her business where she only plans to hire capacity talent, she'll give us a peek into her mind so we can better answer these questions.

What do you do when you're building an empire from scratch? Who do you have join the team and how do you cast a vision when you're just getting started? These are all questions Pete Economos had to find answers to when he purchased a Market Center in 2010 in an undeveloped KW region. As Pete likes to say, 'it's all about taking action' but those words can be deceptively simple. Listen for yourself!

Amy Kite is an extremely successful mega agent here in the midwest, and Real Estate isn't even her only business. What's her secret. Well in this episode it is crystal clear that Amy is a learning-based leader. She currently uses 3 coaches and sets aside time every week to help her team grow through training and coaching. This makes it clear that being learning-based isn't just for people with free time.

Tired of buyers who don't know what they want? Annoyed by a seller's unrealistic expectations? Feel like you're surrounded by yes men? 

Well, the solution to your problems might just lie in asking better questions, or at least more questions. That's how you can level up your client services and handle all of your staff problems! It's a silver bullet when it comes to relationships.

Karina Loken is the founder of the top-selling team in Keller William in terms of units, The Loken Group. Having been in real estate since 2008, she'll be the first to tell you, there have been setbacks. In our conversation today she'll show you, not only how to embrace and learn from those setbacks but how to charge forward so they come up sooner rather than later. Karina and The Loken Group are inspirational to say the least and this conversation is packed full of growth nuggets.
