  and it's the fastest growing group right here at EXP
• 0:49
  built on exactly this type of support
• 0:52
  the truth is burnout is everywhere
• 0:54
  as we see a shifting market
• 0:56
  lots of stress disruptors coming into the industry
• 0:59
  a lot of people are worried about burnout
• 1:02
  and this is something that we absolutely
• 1:03
  have to control right now
• 1:05
  if you have some warning signs of burnout
• 1:08
  understand that
• 1:09
  87% of agents leave the business within five years
• 1:13
  is that what you want is that who you are
• 1:15
  absolutely not and so
• 1:16
  we have to understand that
• 1:18
  burnout is almost a hidden epidemic
• 1:20
  something that's creeping up on us
• 1:22
  that's pushing us and we have to act immediately
• 1:26
  if you act and take immediate action in these 90 days
• 1:29
  to take this feeling of unknown uncertainty
• 1:32
  fear whatever that is
• 1:34
  it's all just burnout starting to come in
• 1:36
  we're trying to you know
• 1:38
  do everything we can to get these listings sold
• 1:40
  or get the next buyer
• 1:41
  we need to pay attention to these warning signs
• 1:43
  so we don't become that statistic that fails
• 1:46
  out of this industry so to start
• 1:49
  we have to find out why burnout occurs
• 1:51
  well first and foremost
• 1:52
  real estate agents are really bad at setting boundaries
• 1:55
  so very few work life balance
• 1:58
  you're available 24 7
• 1:59
  you're available on your phone when you're on vacation
• 2:02
  and all of the things
• 2:03
  leading us to not have any of that
• 2:05
  personal recharge time and this is something that
• 2:09
  you know it's so hard right
• 2:11
  because we wanna do what's best for our clients
• 2:13
  we wanna be there to serve them
• 2:15
  and ultimately we
• 2:16
  we have to make an income
• 2:17
  and we don't just punch a clock
• 2:19
  and so as we understand we have to kind of dial this in
• 2:23
  we have to create systems
• 2:24
  we have to create flow and structure
• 2:27
  but it none of that happens unless we set boundaries
• 2:30
  this is when I'm available
• 2:31
  this is when I will respond
• 2:33
  this is how I will respond
• 2:35
  this is how it the operation works
• 2:37
  so that I can recharge and I can best suit
• 2:39
  my client or whoever it is I'm dealing with contractor
• 2:43
  whatever and so that's that's the first piece
• 2:47
  the next piece is Chasing Every Lead
• 2:49
  and this is something that ultimately
• 2:51
  at the beginning of our career
• 2:53
  truth be told I chased everything everything was a yes
• 2:56
  but I've seen agents in my organization
• 2:59
  really transform their life with a simple response no
• 3:04
  and that's something that is extremely hard
• 3:07
  especially when we're doing it
• 3:08
  but let's look at the actual time difference right
• 3:12
  when you work at a traditional 9 to 5
• 3:14
  you punch a clock you get paid for that time well
• 3:17
  let's look at our time allocation
• 3:19
  and what our hourly wage is
• 3:21
  if we are saying yes to everything
• 3:23
  we're learning how to sell you know X
• 3:26
  y Z type of property
• 3:27
  we're chasing down the rabbit hole on how to
• 3:30
  figure out how to sell a trailer
• 3:31
  or whatever it is and ultimately
• 3:33
  that time starts stacking up
• 3:36
  and our hourly wage and our worth starts to
• 3:39
  to diminish and that's where people get into it right
• 3:42
  the next piece is the mentorship trap
• 3:46
  everyone you know says oh
• 3:48
  you know I'm gonna figure it out on my own
• 3:49
  I'm gonna go this route
• 3:51
  there's two sides of this right
• 3:53
  the lone Wolf Trap
• 3:54
  which is like pushing away help the best of the best
• 3:57
  people that I know are absolutely hiring coaches
• 4:01
  at the very top of their game
• 4:02
  they're still hiring coaches and mentors
• 4:04
  and looking for that mentorship
• 4:06
  but also there comes a point when early on
• 4:10
  where we get into this you know
• 4:12
  continuous learning phase
• 4:13
  I call it a serial learner
• 4:15
  where it's the next course
• 4:16
  and the next course and the next course
• 4:17
  and we always struggle to implement right
• 4:20
  so we have to understand what we're doing
• 4:24
  and then we have to take a look at our
• 4:26
  our business and run it like a business right
• 4:29
  we have to understand that revenue stops when we do
• 4:33
  and we have to make these choices
• 4:35
  we can't consistently throw our money at the next coach
• 4:37
  the next system the next process
• 4:39
  sometimes we have to bootstrap it and do it ourselves
• 4:42
  ultimately if you're surrounded by the right people
• 4:45
  you can plug and play and take things right
• 4:47
  that's one thing I love about the Wolf Pack
• 4:49
  is that everybody is always sharing
• 4:51
  their top level secrets everything that they're doing
• 4:54
  their systems their processes
• 4:55
  everyone is willing to share it ultimately
• 4:58
  because we're not all in the same market
• 4:59
  competing for the same market share
• 5:01
  so now that we kind of have the warning signs
• 5:03
  and we're looking at it and why it happens
• 5:06
  what burnout
• 5:07
  actually feels like is a whole different story right
• 5:10
  it's constant anxiety
• 5:11
  it's waking up in the middle of the night saying
• 5:13
  did I you know
• 5:14
  say the right thing or the wrong thing or have I
• 5:17
  you know abandoned this listing or whatever
• 5:19
  it is we have that constant anxiety
• 5:21
  and it's keeping us up at night
• 5:22
  it's taking away from that all important recharge time
• 5:26
  and we have to understand right
• 5:28
  and this is true it still happens
• 5:30
  it happens to the best of us
• 5:31
  if you're successful you don't have to be miserable
• 5:34
  and this is something that we have to take into
• 5:36
  consideration and really understand
• 5:39
  exactly what it looks like to change the game
• 5:42
  and so what it actually feels like is those waking up
• 5:45
  middle of the night just feeling like ugh
• 5:47
  you know I didn't do my best right
• 5:49
  you're not working harder than ever
• 5:52
  but you're growing slower right
• 5:54
  think about that
• 5:55
  if you feel like you're working harder working harder
• 5:57
  working harder
• 5:58
  and you're just clipping along at the same pace
• 6:01
  or maybe even a little bit slower pace
• 6:03
  if the market changes
• 6:04
  this is a problem and this is where we need to do it
• 6:07
  so let's talk about the 90 day fix the real game plan
• 6:10
  right
• 6:10
  so take week one and two generally to audit your time
• 6:13
  identify where you're burning out
• 6:15
  identify the the things that you absolutely
• 6:18
  love to do in your business
• 6:19
  and the things that drain you right
• 6:21
  if you're checking out you know
• 6:22
  my sponsor Louis Gold has amazing system processes
• 6:25
  time management
• 6:26
  all kinds of training on his YouTube channel
• 6:28
  go check it out check out the Eisenhower Matrix
• 6:31
  and figure out what you need to
• 6:32
  delegate what you need to delete
• 6:33
  and what you need to make a priority
• 6:35
  and this week one week to two week
• 6:38
  really looking at your business from a complete outside
• 6:41
  step away from it look at it
• 6:43
  what do you love to do
• 6:44
  what do you need to do but hate to do
• 6:46
  and what doesn't really serve you anymore
• 6:48
  and then start to build your calendar around that right
• 6:51
  let's simplify our lead generation
• 6:53
  this is something I talk about all the time
• 6:54
  on my course which you get for absolutely free
• 6:56
  when you partner with me is let's simplify this
• 7:00
  where are your feet be where your feet are
• 7:02
  and turn that into your lead generation
• 7:04
  that makes it a lot more fun
• 7:05
  it makes it a lot more comfortable
• 7:08
  cause you're already there
• 7:09
  you don't have to open the door to get out
• 7:10
  and door knock you don't have to pick up the phone
• 7:13
  you know those are the hardest things to do
• 7:15
  the hardest door to open when you're door knocking
• 7:17
  is your car door and the hardest call to make
• 7:19
  when you're cold calling is that first call
• 7:21
  so if you simplify your lead generation
• 7:23
  which we talk about extensively in the Foundations
• 7:26
  Builder course you can really focus in on what it does
• 7:30
  then all of a sudden it's fun
• 7:31
  and the truth is it explodes as you go
• 7:34
  because you're showing up better
• 7:36
  for the people that you care about
• 7:37
  and you love and they already love you
• 7:40
  and that's when you become their trusted
• 7:42
  real estate agent next
• 7:44
  we need to make sure that we're
• 7:45
  surrounded by the right people right
• 7:47
  proximity is power anyone will say it
• 7:50
  you're the average
• 7:50
  of the five people you surround yourself with
• 7:52
  what are those agent partners that you're
• 7:55
  hanging out with what are your friends
• 7:56
  are we always going to happy hour talking about
• 7:59
  you know gossip and all the things
• 8:00
  or are we actually trying to dial in
• 8:02
  new business systems and improving ourselves as we go
• 8:06
  not to say that the gossip and happy hour isn't great
• 8:09
  but in your free time absolutely
• 8:11
  but who are those business professionals
• 8:12
  we're surrounding ourselves with
• 8:14
  who are those mentors that we're looking up to
• 8:16
  who is the pack that we run with
• 8:18
  and if we can make that happen
• 8:19
  we can plug into our community at a high level right
• 8:22
  we're plugging into higher agents
• 8:23
  we have the same goals
• 8:24
  we have the same kind of mindset and thought process
• 8:28
  and we're going to expand together
• 8:29
  we're gonna run as a pack and grow together
• 8:32
  and that's exactly what it is
• 8:33
  doesn't have to be changing
• 8:34
  brokerages coming over to EXP
• 8:36
  if you wanna talk about that
• 8:37
  you know where to go but it can really be taking
• 8:42
  you know
• 8:42
  five agents where you're gonna have a mastermind
• 8:44
  we're gonna run together
• 8:45
  where you're gonna grow together
• 8:47
  and have some accountability
• 8:48
  because if
• 8:49
  you're constantly surrounded by the people that are
• 8:51
  you know complaining about the market or doing this or
• 8:54
  you know stuck in their old ways about lead generation
• 8:57
  that maybe isn't working anymore
• 8:59
  that might be part of the problem
• 9:00
  and it leads to burnout right
• 9:02
  there's nothing new there's nothing new to grow
• 9:04
  I always say that
• 9:05
  my favorite part about this business is
• 9:07
  no day is the same no contract is the same
• 9:09
  no negotiation is the same
• 9:11
  we solve problems for people
• 9:13
  that are making the biggest purchase of their life
• 9:15
  in most cases and that makes it fun
• 9:17
  but we have to make sure that we're surrounding
• 9:19
  ourselves with the positive influences
• 9:22
  with the people that are doing it at a high level
• 9:24
  so that we ourselves
• 9:26
  can get out of that rut and avoid this burnout
• 9:29
  and then finally we need to go to the systems
• 9:31
  we need to build it up
• 9:31
  we need to make sure that we're using our CRM
• 9:33
  we need to make sure that we're using the systems
• 9:35
  that we've built because now it's less of
• 9:39
  you know an hour before we pick up the phone
• 9:41
  because we're legion generation
• 9:42
  we simplified it we made it easier
• 9:45
  but we're doing it we're still having the conversations
• 9:47
  now we need to track it
• 9:48
  now we need to know what it looks like
• 9:50
  now we need to make sure that every single person
• 9:52
  especially when we're dealing within our community
• 9:54
  has an amazing experience working with us
• 9:57
  so then they become the stalwart in that community
• 9:59
  shouting our names from the rooftops
• 10:01
  and you can't do that without a system
• 10:03
  you can't build an ultimate client experience
• 10:06
  without a system
• 10:07
  which is why I cover it in my course as well
• 10:10
  and so if we kind of step back and we look at this
• 10:13
  it's auditing what you're currently doing
• 10:17
  simplifying your lead generation making a plan
• 10:19
  not getting shiny object syndrome
• 10:21
  then we're plugging into a community of support
• 10:24
  and help
• 10:24
  and make sure that we have those professionals
• 10:26
  that are in the fight with us
• 10:28
  that are supporting us
• 10:29
  and then we're gonna implement and sustain
• 10:31
  through systems
• 10:32
  and we're gonna continue to repeat the process
• 10:35
  every transaction doesn't have to be
• 10:38
  different on the back end
• 10:39
  because it is on the front end
• 10:40
  and that's what keeps it fun and entertaining
• 10:43
  so ultimately stop flying solo if you need anything
• 10:46
  please reach out uh adopt repeatable systems
• 10:49
  once you're able to get through that
• 10:51
  once you're able to build that
• 10:53
  get mentorship find the
• 10:55
  the people that you need
• 10:57
  and then align with the right people
• 10:59
  this is ultimately the goal
• 11:01
  align with the right clients
• 11:02
  align with the clients who are gonna
• 11:04
  respect you and care about you
• 11:05
  align with the people
• 11:06
  and the brokerage and the mentors that are gonna
• 11:09
  respect and care about you
• 11:10
  if you have any questions about this
• 11:12
  you can always book a Realtor game plan
• 11:13
  call below no obligation
• 11:15
  no pressure
• 11:16
  just talking about your business and how to win
• 11:18
  and finally burnout doesn't mean you're broken
• 11:20
  it just means you need a better system
• 11:22
  and a stronger support that's what we've built
• 11:24
  so if you're ready to stop grinding alone
• 11:26
