Think Bigger Real Estate

The first thing that agents need to do in order to maintain their businesses and margins is to actually get better. The best way to do this is to learn from other brokers. Joe Fustolo has dedicated the past seven years to building a powerful Facebook community called 'Masters in Real Estate' with the intent to help this community of real estate agents have better ethics and gain more knowledge. This mindset of helping other agents, even your own competition, get better is a key to a better life, a better business and a better industry. 

There comes a point within each of our lives, I believe, when we desire to go beyond success to a place of significance. We want to not just impact our own family's life, but the lives of as many as we can reach. Both Josh Pitts and I have felt this stirring and his Facebook Live show has inspired me to do the same. 

In this episode, Josh and I discuss some of the pitfalls that keep people from leveraging this powerful tool, not just to impact their own business and life, but to impact the lives of so many more that they could be reaching and helping. 

Jay Puppo is not only a friend, but my personal productivity coach. He has transformed the way I look at the way I spend my time. Rather than choosing the best things to be doing, he has helped me to really focus in on what is my ONE Thing and work to cut out everything else. This will get you thinking about your own personal possibilities when you learn to identify and really focus on it. 

For years and years I spent too much time trying to outrun my fork. I wanted to look and feel a certain way and because I did not have control over my eating habits, I spent too much time away from my family, trying to exercise my way to fitness. 

When I was introduced to Jon Fuller, I realized that I had been hacking at the branches rather than the root. This man has helped me to understand and live good nutrition so that I can have my time back. 

Although the precise timing of a market shift is never totally known, the reality that they do happen is known. As a result, many agents have been preparing for some time on how to best take advantage of the opportunity that is our current real estate market shift. 

These kinds of markets require not only the right mindset and energy, but the right vision and leadership. 

"As a real estate agent, I know I'm supposed to be creating and sharing content on social media, but what do I create, say and share?"

If you've ever had that question, I've brought on nationally acclaimed video influencer and Newberg, Oregon real estate agent, Brandon Porter to help you get unstuck.

There are two types of discontentment. One is healthy and fuels people like you and me towards our potential. 

The other is unhealthy and causes discouragement and takes us away from our potential. 

Tune into this short share to hear the difference.
