- 1:47we are going to give you exactly
- 1:49the 10 that Ed Mylet was speaking of
- 1:52and then we're gonna relate them to you
- 1:54and your real state business
- 1:55so first thing
- 1:56first out the gate is the negative self talk
- 1:58sometimes this hides as imposter syndrome
- 2:02especially for thus
- 2:03those of us who are on social media a lot
- 2:05seeing a lot of people do all these amazing things
- 2:08um the truth is that negative self talk
- 2:10I'm not good enough I'm not this
- 2:12I'm not that if we can get out of our own heads
- 2:15and just make these specific moves
- 2:18we can absolutely change the game right
- 2:21instance that I like to talk about
- 2:23that actually I'm speaking on stage about
- 2:25is Tim Grover right
- 2:27this value proposition he
- 2:29one day in the 1980s
- 2:31decided that he was going to contact the Chicago Bulls
- 2:34again and present them
- 2:36you know with an idea that he
- 2:38could be a mental and physical strength coach for
- 2:43you know their players right
- 2:44well turns out he didn't
- 2:46you know get the job for their players
- 2:48he got the job for one player
- 2:50and he came in for a second interview
- 2:51thought he was gonna meet with the team
- 2:53doctors are like hey
- 2:53we're going over to Michael Jordan's house
- 2:56right then and there he laid out a 30 day plan
- 2:58Michael Jordan gave him 30 days
- 3:00and he stayed for 15 years
- 3:01that's the ultimate value proposition
- 3:03think about the negative self talk
- 3:05and even Tim talks about it in his book relentless
- 3:08where he talks about you know
- 3:09he sent letters to the Bulls and all the Bulls players
- 3:12except Michael Jordan
- 3:13that right there was negative self talk
- 3:15but he defeated that and his life changed forever
- 3:18um as he's
- 3:20you know been a trainer for now
- 3:22Michael Jordan Kobe Bryant
- 3:23Dwayne Wade and hundreds of other athletes
- 3:25so that is an absolute game changer
- 3:27and when you're talking about real estate it's
- 3:30you know I can't go into that listing
- 3:32I don't belong there
- 3:33I don't need to talk to that developer
- 3:35even you know
- 3:36as I talk about
- 3:37how important it is to talk to other agents
- 3:39and build relationships
- 3:41having these top producing agents
- 3:43500 million dollar producers
- 3:45the truth is when you break down the barriers and you
- 3:47you know have the opportunity to assist them
- 3:50or show up at one of their broker opens or whatever
- 3:53your life can change
- 3:54and the truth is we're all pretty similar right
- 3:56we're all just normal people who have a different drive
- 4:00uh for success
- 4:01so get rid of that negative self talk
- 4:05and really push the limits on your real estate business
- 4:08the next piece is stop worrying right
- 4:10and over worrying we can control what we can control
- 4:13and what we control is our output
- 4:16you know our outreaches our conversations
- 4:19our value that we provide
- 4:22we can't control the interest rates
- 4:24we can't control the you know commission lawsuits
- 4:27we can't control what you know
- 4:29this person's gonna say to us
- 4:31we can just control
- 4:32how we show up in the value that we bring right
- 4:35so it's consonant make sure our knowledge bases there
- 4:38make sure or talking to other agents in our market
- 4:41who are successful
- 4:42surrounding ourselves with those people
- 4:44but if we're always worried about something right
- 4:46for always worried well
- 4:48you know
- 4:48what if they you know quit paying buyers agents
- 4:51what if the DOJ says that
- 4:52they're gonna stop paying buyers agents right
- 4:55if we sit and worry we're not executing right
- 4:58we're not going out and building our business
- 5:00and bettering ourselves so the worry has to end
- 5:03the next one was
- 5:04stop expecting someone else to save you
- 5:06your broker your team lead
- 5:08your you know agent co op agent
- 5:11whatever it is is not there to save you right
- 5:14you are an individual that is put in a position
- 5:16to make a fairly decent income based on your actions
- 5:20and no one's gonna come save you right
- 5:22this is a huge one
- 5:23I talk to agents all the time were like oh
- 5:26I love my broker I love this
- 5:27I love that
- 5:28but then the next thing out of their mouth is like
- 5:30I wish I had more support I wish I had this well
- 5:32why do you love somebody that's not supporting you
- 5:34that you're paying
- 5:35every single time you close a transaction right
- 5:38no one is here to save you we can all collaborate
- 5:41we can motivate we can come together
- 5:43and there's some great value stacks that
- 5:45you know maybe on the horizon for you however
- 5:49if you are expecting to join the Wolf Pack
- 5:53and join my organization and just have some of my
- 5:56you know
- 5:56success rub off on you that's not what it is right
- 5:59I can't save you I can give you all the tools
- 6:02to absolutely be successful
- 6:03I can give you my course for foundations and you know
- 6:06tell you exactly what you need to do for 12 weeks
- 6:08to absolutely crush your goals
- 6:11but if you don't plug in if you don't do that
- 6:13it's it's not that and at that point
- 6:16I'm not saving you my course is built out for you
- 6:18it's there but you're saving yourself for plugging in
- 6:21from holding yourself accountable
- 6:23and doing all the things
- 6:24now we have different systems built in and we have
- 6:27you know collaborative group that you know
- 6:29really has helped each other but if you don't plug in
- 6:32no one's coming to save you
- 6:33and the truth is
- 6:34that no one's coming to save you anyway
- 6:36so no one's gonna come down and be like
- 6:38oh buyers
- 6:38agents deserve to get X percentage
- 6:40and that's what they're doing across the board
- 6:42certainly isn't gonna happen
- 6:44no one's gonna come in and say well
- 6:45you know I know the market's been hard
- 6:47so let's make the interest rates 3 or 4% again
- 6:50not gonna happen so quit expecting someone to save you
- 6:52quit waiting for someone to step in
- 6:54quit waiting for your broker to come up with you know
- 6:57this new lead option
- 6:58that absolutely is easy to convert
- 7:01you have to dial into your lead generation strategies
- 7:04to your person and really help understand
- 7:08how you're gonna bring value to your Avatar
- 7:10versus someone telling you how to do it
- 7:12and just handing you off deals
- 7:14and agents and things of that nature
- 7:16next one is stop expecting it to be easy
- 7:19the truth is
- 7:20is that I talk to new agents day in day out right
- 7:24and you say why did you get in real estate
- 7:25oh I love helping people and you know
- 7:28I I wanna have you know control of my own schedule well
- 7:32news flash uh those things aren't gonna
- 7:34get you across the finish line
- 7:36and having control of your own schedule
- 7:37only happens after you've
- 7:39you know
- 7:39been able to use some leverage and build out a team
- 7:41and do all the things until then
- 7:43you're absolutely at the mercy of your
- 7:45your clients and so on
- 7:47you can set up boundaries and do a lot of things
- 7:49but sometimes if you're over you know
- 7:51if you overbox that in you're gonna really struggle
- 7:54to get momentum in this business
- 7:56so it's certainly not easy right
- 7:59there's no industry that has a you know
- 8:0178 9 80% failure rate that's easy
- 8:05and this is absolutely not one of those
- 8:08you are your own boss you are your own
- 8:10you know entrepreneur
- 8:11you can build your own business
- 8:13I always say that the beauty of this business is
- 8:15there's no ceiling for income
- 8:17but the truth is the floor is very very low
- 8:19and that's where we all start so as you know
- 8:23me coming to you as an experience agent
- 8:25I work hard every single day
- 8:2712 years into the business
- 8:29top producer leading 120 agents
- 8:32and so I can certainly motivate you
- 8:34and I can give you the skills to timeblock
- 8:36and make that happen
- 8:37but there has to be a motor inside of you that is
- 8:39understands that it is not gonna be easy
- 8:42under no circumstances is it easy
- 8:44and so that's that's one of the most valuable lessons
- 8:48I think
- 8:48in this podcast and in this episode is exactly that
- 8:52you must be a diligent hard worker
- 8:55certainly if you're more organized
- 8:57you know you can
- 8:58you know kind of timeblock and do all of those things
- 9:00and maybe you're you know
- 9:01compartmentalizing some of that
- 9:03you know energy and so on and you're doing it for good
- 9:06but understand this business is not easy
- 9:09you will get burned by your best friend
- 9:11you will you know
- 9:12do a ton of showings and so on
- 9:14and find out that that
- 9:15that buyer went out and made a bad choice
- 9:17you will have a listing
- 9:18that seems like the perfect property
- 9:20and you're doing all the marketing
- 9:21that just doesn't sell for one reason or another
- 9:24it's certainly not easy and you know
- 9:26the fact that we do so much pre work for a listing
- 9:30and so much pre work for a buyer
- 9:32and we don't get paid till the very
- 9:33very end once all the pieces fit together perfectly
- 9:36that is proof alone
- 9:38that this is a very difficult industry
- 9:40so
- 9:41come into it with the mindset that you're gonna work
- 9:43and you're gonna work your tail off
- 9:45and don't expect anything to come easy
- 9:48the next piece is stop waiting for support
- 9:50while I pride myself on building my team out that
- 9:53you know and connecting people with
- 9:56you know the right support angles
- 9:57this is not the status quo of my brokerage or even
- 10:01you know across other brokerages
- 10:03you can't stop waiting for support
- 10:05the truth is that no one has built their business
- 10:07exactly like you want to so the truth is
- 10:10you're kind of the explorer
- 10:11you're kind of the conquistador going in there saying
- 10:14I'm gonna build my business with a little bit of this
- 10:16a little bit of that you're gonna put it all together
- 10:18you're gonna be the matchmaker for your own business
- 10:21and go from there now
- 10:22certainly joining the right group with cohesion and
- 10:25you know
- 10:27all the things that we work to do at the Wolfpack
- 10:29is important but if you're just sitting around
- 10:32waiting for someone to tap you on the shoulder
- 10:33and be like hey
- 10:34here's here's what you need to do today
- 10:36that's not even what we provide here right
- 10:38we provide frameworks we provide all the things
- 10:41my course is absolutely built for this um
- 10:44to give you you know
- 10:45a 12 week accelerator where I do
- 10:47tell you everything
- 10:48you should do on a day to day basis
- 10:49for 12 weeks you know
- 10:51for each pillar um
- 10:52but the truth is that no one's gonna
- 10:55you know say hey
- 10:56here it is hey
- 10:57wake up today hey
- 10:59don't take a nap today get off the couch and
- 11:01you know get out there and talk to some people
- 11:04and so that's the biggest thing is
- 11:05while I do everything in my power to support my agents
- 11:09my friends in the industry
- 11:10whether they're with me or against me or whatever
- 11:13I'm out there trying to support and have an impact

- 14:01gravy train years you were absolutely amazing uh
- 14:04because it was just falling out of the tree right
- 14:06it's
- 14:07you're shaking the tree and 15 apples fall out of it

- 14:12we're never going back to that market you know

- 14:39you know where to find me
- 14:40I'd be happy to kind of help you get rolling again
- 14:43next one is huge
- 14:43stop looking for security and certainty
- 14:46this is something that's absolutely massive
- 14:49in our industry
- 14:50the only thing if this year has taught us anything
- 14:53right we're still coming up on the election
- 14:55so this was a quarter pre election
- 14:57we're getting really close
- 14:58but the only thing certain in our industry is change
- 15:01so started out with higher interest rates
- 15:03than we've been used to
- 15:04then we have the NAR lawsuits and all the changes and
- 15:07you know contracts and buyer agents
- 15:09agreements and all the things
- 15:10and then we have an election right
- 15:12so think about the change
- 15:14that's one change a quarter literally in in our
- 15:17our year so far and it's only gonna be more
- 15:20there's more we do this and the more we move forward
- 15:23change is always gonna happen
- 15:25we are based on a changing market
- 15:27um our
- 15:28you know
- 15:29our buyers and our sellers are custom to that right
- 15:32it's a market it's an open market it's a free market
- 15:35so change is absolutely the key in real estate
- 15:38and adapting to the change
- 15:40talking about the market
- 15:41educating yourself on what's coming what's going
- 15:44what the trends are but more importantly
- 15:46what what can you do
- 15:47or what do you need to shift
- 15:49to make sure that you are
- 15:50dealing with people who are winning in the market right
- 15:53or helping those before they lose in the market
- 15:56all of these things are part of it
- 15:57but the only thing inevitable is change
- 16:00and so stop looking for security and certainty
- 16:02in this industry oh
- 16:04this is one of my favorite ones
- 16:06stop listening to the gurus right
- 16:08we see this a lot everybody's
- 16:11you know doing their thing
- 16:13everyone's like oh
- 16:13you're a unique person you're the unique
- 16:16you know individual that you are
- 16:17you know you're perfect just the way you are
- 16:20the truth is if you were perfect
- 16:22why are these self help gurus
- 16:24you know in employed right
- 16:27if someone is telling you that you're perfect
- 16:29and you know that you're not
- 16:30because none of us are perfect
- 16:32then you probably need to separate yourself
- 16:34we are the average of the people we hang out with
- 16:37and if someone's always telling us we're perfect
- 16:39and everything's amazing
- 16:40and you're so unique and so individual and
- 16:43you know it's just
- 16:44you know not the right time for you
- 16:46then that's a red flag likewise
- 16:48if someone's always telling you
- 16:49the complete opposite of that
- 16:50and you are you know
- 16:51getting beat down or your broker saying you need to be
- 16:54you know building it this way
- 16:56YouTube's dumb or this is dumb
- 16:58don't do that that's also
- 17:00you know counterproductive to your success
- 17:02so just make sure that we are
- 17:05you know
- 17:06very selective on what we're putting in our minds
- 17:09and who were having influence us
- 17:10because those two you know
- 17:13opposite sides of
- 17:15of the spectrum are both very dangerous for our success
- 17:19as an entrepreneur as a real estate agent
- 17:22and finally stop treating yourself so poorly
- 17:24celebrate your wins every single day
- 17:27if your win is that you did an hour of
- 17:30you know uninterrupted prospecting
- 17:32even if you didn't have one person answer the phone
- 17:35when you're making those calls
- 17:36or you didn't have one you know
- 17:38of your sphere of influence
- 17:40you know respond to a text message or sent out
- 17:43if you did that one hour that's a win right
- 17:46stay in momentum
- 17:48momentum is such a huge thing in our industry
- 17:50it's very obvious right
- 17:52I have a lot of irons in the fire
- 17:54and when I'm winning on the production side
- 17:57it seems like I'm rolling people in
- 17:59it's like a factory right
- 18:00I get buyers in whether their first time homebuyers
- 18:02with down payment assistance or
- 18:04you know cash buyers
- 18:06I'm still in in flow I'm helping them
- 18:08I'm dialed in what they want
- 18:10I'm finding them what they want right away
- 18:12and we're going under contract
- 18:14when I'm a little bit off
- 18:16sometimes
- 18:16it's taking a little bit longer for cash buyers
- 18:19for whatever if I'm distracted
- 18:20and I'm not really focused on finding the exact
- 18:23you know things
- 18:24they're the exact things that make them tick the
- 18:27the must haves in a home
- 18:29and if I'm not dialed into that
- 18:30sometimes we miss it and sometimes it takes
- 18:32you know a week or five weeks
- 18:34or a month or two months to get things rolling
- 18:37because we're not you know
- 18:38vibrating at the same frequency um

- 18:44I was showing six houses you know
- 18:4520 20
- 18:46my average was six houses to contract
- 18:48so understand that you're
- 18:52you're winning right
- 18:53because momentum is a real thing
- 18:55and if you're getting into momentum
- 18:57that's winning so stop beating yourself up about it
- 19:00just take that mindset of okay
