- 0:42one thing I am extending is a full business audit
- 0:46a 15 to 30 minute call
- 0:47where we look at your pillars of your business
- 0:49and see how we can improve and tweak
- 0:52and maybe take that next jump
- 0:54whether you're 6 figures and want to go to 02:50 a year
- 0:57or you're just starting out
- 0:58you want to get 6 figures
- 1:00this is a great opportunity
- 1:02and I'm offering it
- 1:02absolutely for free in the links below
- 1:04so check it out
- 1:05okay so the first thing that I talked to my agents
- 1:07and my group that I mentor and coach
- 1:09as well as other agents that I just like
- 1:11to eat lunch with or whatever
- 1:13is to gamify your business
- 1:14make this a game
- 1:15understand that the ability to show up and compete
- 1:18will absolutely help you succeed in the industry
- 1:21no matter what
- 1:22if you show up every single day
- 1:24and you're ready to roll
- 1:25you understand that you win some and you lose some
- 1:27so you're gonna do everything in your power
- 1:29to win every client
- 1:30or win every listing that you can
- 1:32this is huge
- 1:33and if you make it a game
- 1:34and you kind of keep score
- 1:36and you're looking at your GCI and your income
- 1:39you're looking at where you were at last year
- 1:41you can definitely
- 1:42inspire yourself to continue to show up
- 1:45continue to compete
- 1:46because the fruits of your labor will be rewarded
- 1:48as long as you compete
- 1:50within the guidelines of the industry
- 1:52a lot of people have talked about the market going down
- 1:55and what it's gonna do is weed out some of the agents
- 1:58I'm here to tell you
- 1:59have you ever tried to weed
- 2:00you pull a weed right
- 2:02maybe you get the whole thing
- 2:03you know that when you pull that weed out
- 2:05and it's like amazing
- 2:06you have all the roots and everything
- 2:08and then you go back out there
- 2:09and 3 days later
- 2:10there's new life
- 2:11and the weed is coming back
- 2:13or of course
- 2:14when you pull the weed out
- 2:15and it breaks off halfway
- 2:16and then it just comes back right away
- 2:19but weeding is hard
- 2:19and the honest truth is
- 2:21is that agents will not be weeded out of this industry
- 2:24whether some exit the industry
- 2:26and there will always be more coming in
- 2:28because of the
- 2:30idea of no income ceiling
- 2:33so you have a low barrier to entry
- 2:35and there is no maximum to the amount of money
- 2:37you can make as a real estate agent
- 2:39and oftentimes
- 2:40you don't have a lot of liability
- 2:41because you hang your license with a broker
- 2:43and you have Eno insurance
- 2:45and so there's very little
- 2:48things holding you back
- 2:49or stop signs
- 2:50to try and get into this industry
- 2:52and then once people get a taste of the 0
- 2:55income ceiling
- 2:56then you're like
- 2:57okay here we go
- 2:58not saying it's easy
- 3:00but I'm telling you that
- 3:01the real estate industry will continue to produce
- 3:03new people coming in
- 3:05because of those things
- 3:06obviously as a coach
- 3:07but also in my production business
- 3:10the more agents that come into the industry
- 3:11the more I get fired up
- 3:13it's just another challenge
- 3:14it's just somebody else to compete with
- 3:17and friendly competition of course
- 3:19but understanding that
- 3:20the standard can always be pushed
- 3:22and you must start with yourself
- 3:23and hold yourself to a very high standard
- 3:25every single day
- 3:26as my standards improve
- 3:28as I've done the Live Hard program
- 3:30and everything that's involved with that um
- 3:33as my standards
- 3:34personal standards improve
- 3:35I am always
- 3:36looking to be pushed
- 3:37and collaborate
- 3:39and compete
- 3:40with other agents
- 3:41and with new agents
- 3:42and new blood
- 3:43and new ideas
- 3:44you're constantly there
- 3:46and you know
- 3:46I often talk about
- 3:48you know people
- 3:49understanding that
- 3:51you know maybe
- 3:53maybe it is better when there's less agents coming in
- 3:56and you know
- 3:57I talk to agents a lot about
- 3:58oh well you know they
- 4:00their brother's a real estate agent
- 4:02or their sister in law's a real estate agent
- 4:05the truth is
- 4:05that's the best time to compete right
- 4:07see what you're made of
- 4:08see what your value proposition is
- 4:10because if you're constantly tweaking that
- 4:12and you provide more value
- 4:14you never know
- 4:15sometimes clients are like
- 4:16I don't want to deal with family or whatever
- 4:19but you go into that battle and you understand
- 4:21and it's a challenge right
- 4:22if there's somebody that
- 4:23you know is close to another agent
- 4:25and they're calling you and asking you your opinion
- 4:28that's the open door to go in there
- 4:30show your value
- 4:31doesn't have to be in better than them
- 4:33or anything like that
- 4:34just show your value stack
- 4:35drop it on the table
- 4:36and let them make that decision
- 4:38if they're willing to text you
- 4:40or give you the opportunity
- 4:41they're looking for a reason to hire you as an agent
- 4:44so show up and compete
- 4:46and don't use those things as an excuse
- 4:48and definitely don't take those people off of your drip
- 4:51or you know
- 4:52any of the campaigns or
- 4:53don't stop inviting them to things
- 4:55because you never know where that business will come
- 4:57even if they don't buy or sell
- 4:59they may refer you
- 5:00someone that's a personality match to them
- 5:03and that is exactly
- 5:05why you show up and compete every single day
- 5:07and have that challenge
- 5:08and embrace the challenge
- 5:09to come up and tweak your value stack
- 5:11so that you are the number one guy period
- 5:14no matter what
- 5:15this is an opportunity to sharpen your saw
- 5:18so you better get to the grind
- 5:20and continue to sharpen your saw
- 5:21as we move forward
- 5:22now we talk about competition and all of that
- 5:25once we're gamifying our business
- 5:27to be honest
- 5:28truth is there's a winner and there's a loser
- 5:30and how you react in that moment
- 5:32when you have won the game
- 5:33or you've lost the game
- 5:34on all the times up
- 5:36and the decision has been made
- 5:37is key to your success
- 5:39as a winner
- 5:40you show up
- 5:42you drive through with that value stack
- 5:44you say this is exactly what I told you to do
- 5:47make sure you're following through with that
- 5:48because that's the number one way to not earn them
- 5:50as repeat clients or referring clients
- 5:53and so you show up
- 5:55and you follow through with everything you did
- 5:57now that's great
- 5:59that's easy
- 5:59that's obvious
- 6:01the next thing is
- 6:01what happens when you lose
- 6:03how you show up right here is huge
- 6:05and early on in my career
- 6:07I had 2 different people who said
- 6:09Yeah Jeremy
- 6:10we want to use you as agents
- 6:12as an agent
- 6:13when we buy a house
- 6:14well neither of them ended up using me as an agent
- 6:17one ended up
- 6:18you know down the road
- 6:19decided to give into a new build
- 6:21and he had a buddy who specialized in new builds
- 6:23and he specialized in new builds so much
- 6:26that he was there when they signed the contract
- 6:28and didn't show up till he got the check at closing
- 6:31and he Learned that way
- 6:31but he felt like
- 6:33you know he was a better fit
- 6:34because he was in the right place at the right time
- 6:37the next guy said hey man
- 6:38I'm really sorry
- 6:39my mom helped me purchase this house
- 6:42and I was able to
- 6:45you know take that in right then
- 6:47first time it ever happened to me
- 6:48and say man
- 6:49that's awesome
- 6:49I believe in home ownership
- 6:51I can't blame you
- 6:51if your mom's gonna give you 10 grand
- 6:53she's gonna want to use somebody she trusts
- 6:54and you know
- 6:55has a relationship with
- 6:56your mom has no idea who I am
- 6:58all she knows is
- 6:59I'm a brand new agent
- 7:00and so with that said
- 7:02I said that's awesome
- 7:04and the first thing I said to him
- 7:05without any hesitation
- 7:06I just said
- 7:07can you send me your address
- 7:08I'd love to keep you informed of the value of your home
- 7:11you know and
- 7:11maybe someday
- 7:12we can work together absolutely
- 7:13boom did it
- 7:15send him some updates
- 7:16send him some Cmas
- 7:18and all the things that real estate agents do
- 7:202 years later
- 7:20he called me up
- 7:21he sold that house with me
- 7:22and bought a new one
- 7:23so that's absolutely clutch
- 7:26and I don't know why that happened right
- 7:28I don't know why
- 7:29I wasn't upset
- 7:30because I'd hung up the phone
- 7:31and I started cussing at my girlfriend
- 7:33now wife being like
- 7:34what the hell
- 7:35I'm just trying to get this deal
- 7:36but I showed up
- 7:37in the moment
- 7:38front facing
- 7:38with a client
- 7:40but then I also
- 7:41step back and look at
- 7:42what maybe I could have done
- 7:44and maybe there's nothing I could have done right
- 7:46but I sharpen my saw
- 7:48I sharpen that
- 7:49that skill set
- 7:50to understand that
- 7:52okay if this does happen again
- 7:53this is what I'm gonna say
- 7:54I could have said that a little better
- 7:56it still worked out
- 7:57but I'm constantly improving
- 7:58and auditing
- 7:59my business
- 8:00and my reaction
- 8:02in those times of loss
- 8:03in getting better every day
