I'm big on congratulating people because life isn't easy.

I hope we all win.

[Blake Ruud-Johnson @blake_ruud]

@GavinNewsom On you big guy. You're a 🤡

If you want to shop without looking at the price tag, then you gotta work without looking at the clock.

[Blake Ruud-Johnson @blake_ruud]

One of the most important things I constantly remind myself of is to focus on what I CAN control, rather than what I CAN'T.

One must learn to embrace uncertainty and LET GO.

In life and in business.

[Blake Ruud-Johnson @blake_ruud]

My favorite thing about being a leader and a business owner...

The IMPACT I can have on people's lives. Both my employees and the clients we serve.

Does the car you drive have a direct impact on your business as a Real Estate Agent and/or entrepreneur?

[Blake Ruud-Johnson @blake_ruud]

Ya'll better be very careful with these new TCPA cold calling regulations beginning in January.

A LOT of people + businesses are going to be massively impacted.

Staying compliant is paramount!

[Blake Ruud-Johnson @blake_ruud]

Leadership is not convincing people to follow your path + do things your way.

Leadership is about shining enough light to help them find their own route.

Bad leaders act with ego + try to impose their will.

Great leaders aim to empower. They delegate authority to unlock potential.

@theoperatoor Look into property taxes in Texas 🤣

One thing I'm always working on personally:

Letting go of wanting to change the past and control the future.

[Blake Ruud-Johnson @blake_ruud]

The key to failure:

Trying to please everyone.

[Blake Ruud-Johnson @blake_ruud]

The only place where success comes before work... the dictionary.

[Blake Ruud-Johnson @blake_ruud]

Just had a client score an $85,000 assignment fee on a lead/deal he's been nurturing for 13 months.

This is your friendly reminder that the fortune is in the follow-up! 🫵

There is only one sole truth in life. You will die. Why not make the most of the time you have?

[Blake Ruud-Johnson @blake_ruud]

Distractions will hurt your business more than any competition ever will.

[Blake Ruud-Johnson @blake_ruud]

If everyone thinks it's a good idea, you're too late and already missed the opportunity.

[Blake Ruud-Johnson @blake_ruud]

Tough times are a blessing in disguise, they always reveal true colors of the people around us.

[Blake Ruud-Johnson @blake_ruud]

Show up. Just show the hell up.

Every day.

Every week.

Every month.

Every year.

[Blake Ruud-Johnson @blake_ruud]

It's incredible how easily thoughts become actions.

And since your actions create your reality, shouldn't there be more focus on controlling and guarding your thoughts + what you consume?

I'd think so.
