- 1:42tell us kind of who Don Gonzalez is
- 1:45sure well
- 1:46I guess Don Gonzalez says the person right
- 1:49the human being first um
- 1:50I'm a mom I'm a grandma
- 1:52my kids are grown there at this point of the recording
- 1:55they're 27 and 25
- 1:57and I've got a six year old granddaughter
- 1:59um these three are uh
- 2:02the heartbeat of my life um
- 2:04and so that's part of me on the personal side
- 2:07um I'm active in serving in my church
- 2:09I'm a musician I participate
- 2:12and sit on the board of a non profit organization
- 2:14that I love very dearly
- 2:16um and it's for
- 2:17support for families who have kids with special needs
- 2:20um and so that's part of my heart
- 2:22um in my personal life
- 2:24um but I think in my business life
- 2:27well I'm
- 2:28I'm a realtor right
- 2:29just like most that are gonna be
- 2:30probably watching this call
- 2:32I've been doing this for oh gosh
- 2:35about 12 and a half years now
- 2:36and it's always been a full time gig for me
- 2:39it's it's never been a side business or something
- 2:42just to support a hobby it's always been a full time uh
- 2:46career for me and so
- 2:48um that allows me
- 2:50obviously
- 2:50to serve people when they're buying and selling
- 2:52or investing in houses here in Colorado
- 2:56but I've also loved mentoring new agents
- 2:59and that's been something that really
- 3:01kind of landed on my lap very early in my career
- 3:04and that's something that I enjoy very
- 3:06very much and so I balance real estate with selling
- 3:10but also with teaching and coaching others
- 3:13so you do it all so you're a beast right
- 3:17there you go so that's
- 3:20that's a good place to start
- 3:21and obviously been through so much
- 3:23and you've taught me so much since
- 3:26joining the Wolf Pack and so on
- 3:28so what did you do before real estate was
- 3:32was part of that story yeah sure
- 3:34uh so for me I um
- 3:37was in straight out of high school
- 3:39I graduated at 17 years old and I got into uh
- 3:44the corporate world really quickly
- 3:45so just shy of just after my 18th birthday
- 3:48stepped into kind of the health field
- 3:51if you will I started working for a
- 3:53um like a telemarketing company for uh pharmaceuticals
- 3:57uh initially
- 3:58and then I got into the health insurance industry
- 4:00and that's where I was working
- 4:02in an administrative fashion
- 4:03to the sales team for um
- 4:06health products I mean
- 4:07this was insurance products
- 4:09so selling insurance to individuals and families
- 4:12we did have a group side for that too
- 4:14but I was in the individual family side
- 4:17uh and did that
- 4:18until I got married and and had my first child um
- 4:22and of course analyzing the costs of daycare
- 4:25and that was 27 years ago uh
- 4:27today I'm sure it's equally expensive
- 4:31but more so
- 4:32it caused me to re evaluate my career position
- 4:35since I was gonna go to work
- 4:37to pay somebody else to watch my child
- 4:39made the hard decision of adjusting a budget uh
- 4:42that didn't have a lot of fluff and extra in it um
- 4:44but I stayed home with my daughter and um
- 4:48was a stay at home mom for fourteen and a/2 years
- 4:51of course
- 4:51I had a son that came along to just shortly after and
- 4:55um
- 4:56had that privilege of getting to stay home with them
- 4:58it was a huge sacrifice not one of luxury
- 5:01so before listeners are like oh that must be nice
- 5:04well we couldn't afford an emergency
- 5:06and it was really difficult
- 5:07from a financial perspective
- 5:09but I chose to stay home with my kids
- 5:11um that was our choice I was also homeschooling mom
- 5:15for seven and a/2 of those years
- 5:18and it was when they both developed
- 5:19the desire to step back into a formalized
- 5:22school system uh
- 5:24that
- 5:24it gave me an opportunity to think about career again
- 5:27for me and so um
- 5:29real estate was top of mind
- 5:31uh amongst a few other things
- 5:33but real estate was
- 5:34something that I had high interest in um
- 5:38and so they went back to school and so did I haha
- 5:41perfect yeah
- 5:42yeah and
- 5:43and you know one of the
- 5:45one of the coolest parts of the story is
- 5:46what comes next right
- 5:48like kind of backs against the wall again
- 5:51you know not in the
- 5:53you know perfect situation where you could come in
- 5:55and you didn't have to sell a house um
- 5:58so tell us about that first
- 6:00you know 30
- 6:0060 90 days
- 6:02six months in real estate
- 6:04because that's something that is hall of Fame ask
- 6:09well truth be told
- 6:10I even have a little prop over here on my bookshelf
- 6:13I I have kept this on my desk um
- 6:17since I got my license in real estate
- 6:19and it provides motivation for me course
- 6:21that motivation is a little different today uh
- 6:24with some additional perspective
- 6:26than it was when I first started
- 6:27but when I decided to venture into real estate
- 6:30you know I
- 6:31I didn't have all this extra money
- 6:34if you will I mean
- 6:35even getting my license and putting myself through uh
- 6:38school I used a tax refund to do that
- 6:41I didn't have extra cash it was okay
- 6:43I'm gonna take a portion of this much needed refund
- 6:46and invest it in this area
- 6:49to see what what can happen here um
- 6:52my family had been on food stamps previously to that
- 6:55and so this is my local Colorado um
- 6:58EBT card which works like a debit card uh
- 7:02that would be filled with funds to put food on
- 7:05the table for my family and so coming into real estate
- 7:09you know the conversation is often about goals
- 7:11what is it that you're striving for
- 7:13what are you aiming for for me it was like
- 7:15I wanna get off food stamps
- 7:17and I wanna be able to provide uh
- 7:20for my kids consistently I
- 7:21don't wanna be concerned about where this basic need is
- 7:24gonna come from anymore um
- 7:26and so I framed that just to be motivation for me
- 7:29in those early stages of building my business
- 7:33but now it's a reminder to me
- 7:35that I want to be someone that has the ability to say
- 7:38yes more than I say no
- 7:40and to be able to respond and give to others
- 7:43when the need is made um
- 7:45when I made aware of that kind of need right
- 7:48um so you asked about my beginning um
- 7:52you know I got my license
- 7:53and very quickly found myself in a place uh
- 7:57where I was in a divorce and I was a single mom um
- 8:02and
- 8:02and by saying that I really was gonna be the person um
- 8:07watching my kids um
- 8:09managing our daily life
- 8:10but also financing our life solely by myself
- 8:14I didn't have financial support um
- 8:17in any sort of way and I was gonna be the sole
- 8:19present parent from a local perspective
- 8:22um and so
- 8:23that was a real challenge
- 8:24to add to the top of that plate
- 8:26where now I'm trying to build a new business
- 8:29um I've been 14 and a half years
- 8:31outside of any sort of career
- 8:33um not that I had grown dumb or anything
- 8:36but just haha had been out of that hustle
- 8:39from a daily perspective for quite a while
- 8:42and then now is in a new industry
- 8:44where not only am I in sales
- 8:46but I am building a business of my own
- 8:49you know I had never been an entrepreneur before
- 8:52and so
- 8:52it was a huge challenge to add that emotional layer
- 8:55on top of an already challenging opportunity
- 8:59if you will but it did provide
- 9:01like you said
- 9:02this back against the wall circumstance for me
- 9:04where this has to work I do not have a college degree
- 9:09I don't have an education to fall back on
- 9:12and I have a gap of 14 and a half years
- 9:14from my last full time job
- 9:17I had done other minimal things
- 9:18but full time job
- 9:20to now new full time job had a large gap
- 9:23and so there was a gap to recover
- 9:25in my opinion this has to work
- 9:27this is where I'm invested
- 9:28I don't have any additional cash for additional venture
- 9:32and for me more importantly
- 9:34I am not going to call my mom or my sister
- 9:36and ask if we can move in
- 9:38I was 35 years old I'm completely capable
- 9:41I can work hard um
- 9:43I'm willing to do whatever it takes
- 9:45what do I gotta do right um
- 9:48my brokerage firm at the time
- 9:50didn't have a mentorship program
- 9:51so it really was
- 9:53uh a difficult process for me to just learn
- 9:57it was kind of drink through the fire hose
- 9:59and learn as much as I could
- 10:01while being active
- 10:02and trying to generate income for me and my family
- 10:05um it worked
- 10:07but it certainly was difficult uh
- 10:10because I was learning in fast forward right
- 10:13um but
- 10:14I was able to close 10 deals in my first four months
- 10:17in the business
- 10:18and I was able to close 18 deals in my first uh
- 10:21year and a half and hit the income goal that might
- 10:26may as well been $1 million in my opinion at that time
- 10:29it just had a lot of zeros and some extra mamas in it
- 10:32um but this was a financial goal because it was a
- 10:35a limiting belief and a ceiling for me
- 10:37that I was determined to break through
- 10:40and I was able to do it
- 10:41in my first year and a half in the business
- 10:44which is which is crazy
- 10:46and why you are such an amazing mentor
- 10:48and eventually became a broker owner
- 10:50and we'll talk a little bit about that
- 10:52um as a broker owner right having
- 10:55having overseeing now
- 10:58you know 50
- 10:5860 agents um
- 11:01what's I mean
- 11:02what was that process like to go from
- 11:05you know clearly food stamps
- 11:08a time of need back against the wall and now you're
- 11:12you're helping all these other agents get going right
- 11:15and obviously
- 11:17you don't want to replicate that situation for them
- 11:19but what are some things that
- 11:21you know as a broker owner that
- 11:23you know motivated you to really push these
- 11:26push these agents
- 11:27and develop some of the top agents in our
- 11:30current state right now right
- 11:32what what were those things like
- 11:34and what were those stories like
- 11:36well certainly I can't take credit on my own
- 11:38cause I didn't do it on my own
- 11:40um I uh
- 11:41did end up getting remarried um
- 11:43gentleman that was also in the industry as well
- 11:46in real estate and had been in leadership
- 11:49functioning both in a quote unquote
- 11:52team leader and managing broker perspective
- 11:55had also run financials and what not
- 11:58for that brokerage firm that I started at
- 12:01and that's where we met um
- 12:03that was not necessarily a vision that we had
- 12:05was to start our own company
- 12:07it's where we ended but it's
- 12:08it's not what we had set out to do
- 12:12um in our career path
- 12:14if you will uh
- 12:15just opportunities lead that direction
- 12:17um he actually had an opportunity to
- 12:19different brokerage firm we left the company we were at
- 12:22um and that was an incredible opportunity for growth
- 12:25for both of us uh
- 12:26but when that company faced bankruptcy
- 12:28and was closing their doors
- 12:30and then of course
- 12:30letting go of a lot of their staff and leadership
- 12:33we were faced with this decision
- 12:35now what where we gonna go and
- 12:37and who are we gonna partner with
- 12:39and part of that conversation LED to
- 12:41why would we go somewhere else
- 12:42when we could do this on our own
- 12:44and so really it was him that had the experience
- 12:47initially in that leadership capacity
- 12:50to be able to take that step um
- 12:52and I functioned for a a good part of those years
- 12:55we had that company for seven years
- 12:57and I functioned as a huge supportive role for him
- 13:00doing a lot of the administrative stuff
- 13:02on the backside that was not seen
- 13:04helping him when it came to managing the company books
- 13:07um being kind of our company event planner
- 13:09creating community and connection within our agents
- 13:13but
- 13:13we were able to grow that company from the two of us
- 13:15to 75 people within our first 12 months
- 13:18and so
- 13:19that brokerage firm was profitable from the beginning
- 13:21which was incredible um
- 13:23and we we um
- 13:26we ran that company together for for five years um
- 13:30and then my husband suddenly passed away
- 13:32and so it was really on the heels of his passing uh
- 13:36that I stepped into leadership to carry the torch
- 13:39I already had my managing broker license
- 13:41or I guess employing broker level license
- 13:44I'd had that for a few years
- 13:46but I was functioning in a subordinate role to him
- 13:48in our company structure but when he passed away
- 13:51it was what I wanted to do
- 13:54I think it was important for me to do it
- 13:56it was a way to continue to carry his legacy um
- 13:59but also to keep moving as well
- 14:02and so I uh
- 14:03did implement quite a few things in that first year
- 14:06which I look back now and I'm not quite sure how I
- 14:08I did um
- 14:10I had had a pretty significant injury
- 14:12just a few weeks before he passed away
- 14:14had broken my leg and was non weight bearing
- 14:16I couldn't drive I mean just a lot of obstacles uh
- 14:20you know in my
- 14:21in my physical injury
- 14:22and then he passed away three weeks later
- 14:25so it was an incredible
- 14:27incredible thing to step into and hold all of it right
- 14:31not only healing my leg and learning how to walk again
- 14:34but also healing my heart
- 14:35and learning how to walk again
- 14:372 um but holding the company
- 14:40was an important thing for me to do
- 14:42at the time like I said I
- 14:43I was able to bring some new things into the company
- 14:46some systems and processes that helped
- 14:49the compliance and auditing process
- 14:51be a little bit more seamless
- 14:52and automated for me
- 14:54I became a CE trainer so that I could provide
- 14:57continuing education for the agents in my company
- 15:00made some great connections with some other powerhouse
- 15:02forces in our industry um
- 15:05lenders and so forth I was able to introduce
- 15:08my company to some of those folks um
- 15:11and of course to continue
- 15:12uh the environment and the culture that we had had
- 15:15um up to that point
- 15:16and I ran that company for a couple years by myself um
- 15:20and then made the decision
- 15:22that I couldn't juggle all of it
- 15:23I was still in full time production
- 15:25closing over 20 deals a year myself
- 15:27I was coaching agents
- 15:29and graduating a good five to eight
- 15:30people from my program uh
- 15:32regularly and then was managing the office too
- 15:35I was burning the candle at both ends
- 15:37and was working all the time
- 15:40and just decided this is no life
- 15:43uh for me
- 15:44and I need to figure out a way to step into life
- 15:47giving opportunities for me
- 15:49and that meant I needed to let go of something
- 15:52and through a lot of you know
- 15:54prayer and decision
- 15:56and counsel from folks that were very dear to me
- 16:00I made the decision to close the company
- 16:02um that was a really hard decision
- 16:05because it wasn't just about closing off a business
- 16:08right it was about closing off part of my heart too
- 16:11because it was
- 16:12the only baby that he and I were gonna have together
- 16:15and so it was hard to let that go
- 16:17um but it was also very necessary for me
- 16:20like I said to step into life
- 16:23I was still young
- 16:25and needed to embrace the fact that I still am living
- 16:30and I still have opportunity in front of me
- 16:32both of my personal life and in my business
- 16:35and how was I gonna do that well
- 16:37and so I chose to
- 16:38to close it and I think in turn with that
- 16:40that LED to my partnership with you
- 16:42and others within our organization
- 16:44here at our firm um
- 16:46and it has been just that
- 16:48a life giving opportunity for me
- 16:50both on a business and personal level to
- 16:53to join you and to partner with you
- 16:55and others here in our organization
- 16:57it's been incredible yeah
- 16:59I think that that's I mean
- 17:00obviously starting from you know
- 17:02backs against the wall a couple times right
- 17:05and you've you've only taken
- 17:06taken that in stride
- 17:08and then more successful than a lot of people uh
- 17:13would have been in those situations
- 17:14so you know
- 17:15you kind of talk about that and now you know
- 17:19when I left my dad's company right it was okay
- 17:22do I wanna go to that brokerage roll
- 17:24do I wanna have that and I had seen from
- 17:27you know
- 17:27conversation from my dad and all the things that
- 17:29that's not
- 17:31not the 100% life for me right
- 17:34when I came to EXP I was able to be like okay
- 17:36I like coach agents and I want to be an inspiration
- 17:40and I want to be a resource to agents and my agents
- 17:43and all the agents and the Wolf Pack right
- 17:45and but I don't wanna deal with litigations
- 17:48I don't wanna deal with paying you know
- 17:50keeping the lights on in the office
- 17:52dealing with all the paperwork
- 17:53and so it was a perfect opportunity for me
- 17:58and you've kind of come into that role as well right
- 18:02at first you're like I don't wanna work on Sundays
- 18:04I don't wanna do this
- 18:05I probably gonna step out of production
- 18:07and really focus on mentorship
- 18:09you kind of
- 18:09tailored your mentorship program that you do have now
- 18:12to our model and to our group
- 18:14um but then you were like
- 18:17I kind of want to sell some houses again
- 18:19so tell us a little bit about that transition and
- 18:21and the flexibility that
- 18:23that was afforded to you by taking that time and
- 18:26you know really finding
- 18:27finding your way yeah
- 18:30well thank you
- 18:30I appreciate the the question
- 18:32it has been a journey for me
- 18:34even just in the
- 18:35now two years that I've been here at EXP
- 18:38uh but one that's allowed me the ability to
- 18:40to rediscover or to discover new
- 18:43what is it that I enjoy
- 18:45and I think that's the cool thing about this industry
- 18:48that were in there
- 18:49are so many different facets that you can function in
- 18:52in the realm of real estate as an industry
- 18:55or as a career path and I think I was given the ability
- 18:59having closed down the company
- 19:01also having closed down our corporate office location
- 19:05removing some of that heavy weight
- 19:08right that came with managing a physical office uh
- 19:11let alone I think managing um
- 19:14a larger company with other business owners
- 19:17um on top of my own individual career
- 19:20it gave me the space and the freedom I think
- 19:22to discover
- 19:23what is it that I really am passionate about
- 19:26how can I reignite those areas of passion in my heart
- 19:30and in my business life
- 19:32and what does that get to look like now
- 19:35because this is new this is a whole new
- 19:38place and season of life that I'm in
- 19:40and so what can that look like
- 19:43I really took some decent time
- 19:45I mean gosh
- 19:46four months uh
- 19:47of my my initial launch here into EXP
- 19:50I was still closing down a commercial office space
- 19:53so my attention was was there
- 19:56but really
- 19:57through the support of folks like you and of Louis
- 19:59Galt that are in my direct upline
- 20:02I took some time off
- 20:04and I think that was most important
- 20:06you guys were able to speak into my life
- 20:09and encourage me that you're a person first
- 20:12and then you're a business owner or operator
- 20:15and I was able to step into a place and allow myself
- 20:18some space and time to heal
- 20:20and to think and to cast a vision and dream
- 20:24in a different direction
- 20:25and that was so critical for me
- 20:27and that LED into taking an entire summer off
- 20:30going on vacation a ton camping with my family
- 20:33disconnecting not having my phone on
- 20:36not having to respond to anything business related
- 20:39like nobody was pulling at me
- 20:42and that allowed me to think right
- 20:44to think with some quiet
- 20:47things can get accomplished
- 20:49when our backs not against the wall
- 20:51I'm in a major life changing fashion right
- 20:54I think what I discovered in that time
- 20:56was how much I really enjoy teaching
- 21:00how much I really enjoy coming alongside others
- 21:03and that can show up in the
- 21:04in the client fashion
- 21:06but how I enjoy coming alongside other agents
- 21:08to help them build a business
- 21:11that not only can support them and their families well
- 21:14right not just base level
- 21:16but can support them well
- 21:17but also to teach them how they
- 21:19they can maintain their personal life while doing that
- 21:23and I I just
- 21:24I think was able to remember
- 21:27how much I really
- 21:28enjoyed that aspect of what I was doing
- 21:30and so then I dedicated six months
- 21:33out of that time off for myself
- 21:34I dedicated six months to pour myself into revamping
- 21:39and recreating um
- 21:41recording new content
- 21:43specific for my mentorship program
- 21:45and I'm really proud of the
- 21:48curriculum I was able to build
- 21:49but I took six months um
- 21:51additionally off to do that and to build that um
- 21:55foundation
- 21:56so that then I could create a community around it
- 22:00yep absolutely
- 22:01and you know
- 22:02obviously there's a lot of real state coaches
- 22:03there's a lot of real state trainers out there
- 22:06and things like that
- 22:08to have the ability to be mentored by someone
- 22:10like you that has done it right
- 22:12lived it done it on several different levels
- 22:16faced every challenge that
- 22:17you know we wouldn't wish upon anyone um
- 22:20to to do and
- 22:21and to come out the other side of that
- 22:23with that perspective
- 22:24like I wanna teach other people how to do this right
- 22:28that hard to serve you know
- 22:29back to your involvement with your church
- 22:31and all those things are apparent
- 22:33right and your brand
- 22:35you know shines through and um
- 22:37so yeah I think that's
- 22:39that's the biggest thing and as far as
- 22:41you know the
- 22:41the partnership of the Wolf Pack and
- 22:43and where that's going um
- 22:46you know obviously you offer that
- 22:48that to
- 22:49as a service to your agents that choose to join you
- 22:52and those kind of things um
- 22:54so if if someone was interested in
- 22:56having a conversation with you right
- 22:57not necessarily about partnering

- 23:39why was it that I came here
- 23:41what value was it that I saw here
- 23:43versus having a space of my own uh
- 23:45that had an entirely different structure
- 23:47um what does that offer
- 23:49and I can certainly share from my experience
- 23:51what that has offered to someone like me

- 24:42I have never claimed to be your
- 24:44professed to be the highest performing agent
- 24:47or the best in the industry by any means
- 24:50but I feel like what I have been able to do is
- 24:54what I said a little bit earlier
- 24:56it's I've been able to provide a really great income
- 24:59uh that has allowed me to support myself and my family
- 25:02it's allowed me to support my hobbies and the lifestyle
- 25:05the things that I enjoy
- 25:07the ability to give back to charitable organizations
- 25:10so it is provided for me well
- 25:14but I think what I have done uh
- 25:15that maybe is not uh
- 25:17seen as commonly in our industry
- 25:19is I've also been able to maintain a personal life
- 25:22um and so
- 25:23I've been able to create a great income
- 25:25that has supported me in those aspirations
- 25:27but also something that has um
- 25:29allowed me to live my life as a person
- 25:32I've often said that real estate is not who I am
- 25:35it's what I do right
- 25:37and so um
- 25:38that's been important to me
- 25:39is that I live my life first
- 25:41I'm a person I'm a human being and
- 25:42and those aspects of my life
- 25:44relationships and what not are incredibly important
- 25:47I wanna have the ability to pour into those well um
