- 0:00In the book, you talk about creating a scoreboard in life and business.
- 0:00How can agents redefine what winning looks like?
- 0:05Salespeople often ask the wrong questions, like “How do I sell 30 homes?” But that’s not the best starting point.
- 0:10If you only ask, “How do I sell X homes?” the answer becomes simple: work 120 hours a week and spend a ton of money.
- 0:15If you only ask, “How do I sell X homes?” the answer becomes simple: A better question includes your real priorities—faith, family, and time freedom.
- 0:20My scoreboard was: How do I sell 50 homes a year while taking my wife on two day-dates a month……and taking every seventh week off to spend with my kids?
- 0:25My scoreboard was: That question forced a completely different strategy.
- 0:30My scoreboard was: The only way to hit that scoreboard was mastering working by referral.
- 0:30My scoreboard was: It made the business predictable and sane.
- 0:35Agents can do the same: ask what you value, then build the business around it, not the other way around.
- 0:40Agents can do the same: Most of the industry measures success by deals and GCI, but those aren’t the things that matter when life ends.
- 0:45Agents can do the same: My mom passed away in 2022. When I visit her headstone, it reminds me our lives aren’t graded by production.
- 0:50Agents can do the same: What matters is being a faithful follower of Jesus, a loving spouse, and a present parent.
- 0:55Agents can do the same: Yet most agents live like their tombstone will list transactions.
- 0:55Agents can do the same: We miss family dinners to take calls we didn’t need to take.
- 1:00Agents can do the same: We brag on social media about writing offers on the beach, but that’s nothing to be proud of.
- 1:05Agents can do the same: You can provide for your family AND protect your family.
- 1:05Agents can do the same: But you have to define success intentionally.
- 1:10Agents feel torn: they want to be with their kids, but they also feel pressure to grind endlessly.
- 1:15Agents feel torn: Much of that pressure exists because agents chase strategies that aren’t aligned with who they are.
- 1:20That’s why I created the Rule of 8: master one lead generation system to an 8 out of 10 before adding anything else.
- 1:25That’s why I created the Rule of 8: Most agents spread their energy across five or six methods, but they’re only average at all of them.
- 1:30That’s why I created the Rule of 8: Your business grows when you become excellent at the one thing that actually produces the majority of your results.
- 1:35That’s where the PDA Formula comes in: building a Predictable, Profitable, Aligned business.
- 1:40That’s where the PDA Formula comes in: Predictability starts with a “lead generation recipe”—a repeatable plan you test and tweak until it works every time.
- 1:45That’s where the PDA Formula comes in: Most agents say something “doesn’t work,” but they didn’t follow the full recipe consistently.
- 1:50That’s where the PDA Formula comes in: Profitability means holding every dollar accountable.
- 1:50That’s where the PDA Formula comes in: You don’t have to overspend to grow.
- 1:55That’s where the PDA Formula comes in: I cut client event costs from $2,500 to $800 and still closed the same 50 deals.
- 2:00That’s where the PDA Formula comes in: Alignment is the final piece. Build the business that matches how God wired you, not the one the industry pressures you into.
- 2:05That’s where the PDA Formula comes in: A fish isn’t meant to climb a tree.
- 2:05That’s where the PDA Formula comes in: Many agents feel like failures simply because they’re in the wrong system.
- 2:10That’s where the PDA Formula comes in: Your job isn’t to become someone you're not.
- 2:10That’s where the PDA Formula comes in: Your job is to become excellent at who you already are.
- 2:15That’s where the PDA Formula comes in: Use tools like time audits and energy audits to discover your lane.
- 2:15That’s where the PDA Formula comes in: What drains you? What gives you life?
- 2:20That’s where the PDA Formula comes in: When you operate in the lane God designed for you, you show up with more peace, more energy, more presence.
- 2:25Galatians 6:9 says: “Do not grow weary in doing good.” Success comes to those who refuse to give up.
- 2:30Galatians 6:9 says: The market has been hard these last two years.
- 2:30Galatians 6:9 says: But if you’re still here, you’re winning.
- 2:35Galatians 6:9 says: Real estate rewards the agent who stays consistent, keeps the faith, and plays the long game.
- 2:40Galatians 6:9 says: Your business doesn’t need to cost you your family.
- 2:40Galatians 6:9 says: Success is far more than sales volume.
- 2:45Galatians 6:9 says: Define your scoreboard. Choose what matters.
- 2:45Galatians 6:9 says: Then build your business around the life you want to live.
