Next Level Agents: The Kevin & Fred Show - Interviews with the best and brightest minds in the real estate industry

Why Real Estate Agents Stay Stuck: Breaking Free From Your Emotional Comfort Zone


Listen Later

Most real estate agents say they want growth, but they're actually committed to emotions that keep them stuck. In this raw conversation, Kevin Kauffman sits down with top-performing coach Dustin Runyon to explore the uncomfortable truths about what it really takes to break through to your next level.


This isn't another strategy session about lead generation or marketing tactics. It's about the internal work that separates agents who plateau from those who build empires. If you've been saying you want to scale but keep finding yourself back in the same patterns, this episode will challenge everything you think you know about growth.


Key Topics Covered:

  • Why most agents are addicted to emotional comfort zones that limit their potential

  • The difference between confidence built on affirmations vs. confidence forged through endurance

  • How avoidance creates a compound effect that sabotages long-term success

  • Why your team uses what you do to justify what they don't do

  • The critical distinction between deep work and tactical work in business growth

  • How to turn your biggest mistakes into leadership gold

  • Why the strongest professional relationships are built on shared struggle, not shared success


    Bottom Line: Your next level isn't waiting for you to learn more strategies. It's waiting for you to become comfortable being uncomfortable and to address the internal blocks that show up as external limitations in your business.


    If you're ready to stop avoiding the work that actually matters and start doing the hard things that create real transformation, this conversation will give you the roadmap. But fair warning: it might make you squirm a little, which probably means you need to hear it.


    Ready to break free from the patterns keeping you stuck? Your breakthrough is on the other side of what you're avoiding.
