Generally, I aim to avoid saying, doing, and being stupid while also acknowledging my ignorance in so many areas of life. Seems to work most of the time.
The day doesn’t always go to plan and I face frequent, unexpected obstacles. The real challenge to not let it impact mindset is real and discipline is a requirement to succeed in the face of adversity.
In the lexicon of management in real estate, the broker is the epitome of leadership.
Yet surprisingly little is known about this unique role, especially by the brokers and team leads that claim to hold that position.
We tell people all the time, don’t pay for coaching programs.
Majority of the time if you truly have a knowledge gap, you can gain access to learn for free.
Challenge is taking consistent action.
Event last night:
Me: What do you do?
“I run a coaching business”
Me: Cool, do you enjoy it?
“Ha! It’s better than actually being in the business…”
Me: Yeah, but you were probably really good at it right?
“Eh, not really…but I can sell the shit out of my coaching program..”
The number of “team leaders” in real estate that I would not trust to run a lemonade stand on the side of the road is INSANE!
~90% should not be in that role pretending to lead people.
As a broker, you’re running a media company, a consulting firm, and a brand-building machine.
In today’s market, it’s about telling compelling stories, offering real value, and positioning as a team of experts.
Embrace this reality, and your business will thrive in 2025.
Success in real estate (and business, in general) comes down to one simple principle:
Well-executed, large, uninterrupted blocks of focused time.
Whether you’re analyzing deals, building relationships, or refining your strategy, focus drives results.
America voted for change in November, not when this current Congress was put in place.
Change within government is painful and made even more so when bloated and inefficient.
We are dealing with a 10-ton flywheel stuck in a swamp.

I had a professor that never put page count requirements on anything we submitted.
"If you turn in a big pile crap or a small pile of crap, it doesn't really matter as I am still stepping in crap...
Deliver something great, and use what you need to deliver it."
One of the many signs that real estate needs a reset and to focus on becoming a legitimate industry of respected, educated professionals...
~70% of licensed agents in the US did not sell a single home in 2024...
