Why Your Agency Feels Behind (And Why It Probably Isn’t)

Ever scrolled LinkedIn or Instagram and thought…“How are they at 200 doors already?” “Why are they winning all those instructions?” “Are we behind?”Here’s the truth: you’re comparing your Year 1 to someone else’s Year 3, 4 or 5 and social media is only ever the highlight reel.In this episode, I talk openly about the comparison trap in the lettings industry and how it can quietly knock your confidence, distort your decision-making, and push you into chasing the wrong goals.I also share how we overcame this in our own agency by shifting the focus inward:Comparing today with yesterdayComparing this January with last JanuaryMeasuring real progress instead of perceived successIdentifying what actually moved the needleDoubling down on what workedLetting go of what didn’tBecause growth isn’t about being ahead of someone else. It’s about being better than you were before.If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling behind, this episode will reset your perspective and give you a practical framework for measuring progress properly.Build a growth plan based on your numbers (not someone else’s) and map out your next stage properly.Your only real competition is yesterday’s version of your agency.🏆 Nominations and tickets are now available for the first-ever Personal Estate Agency Awards!Join us on 22nd October 2026 in Birmingham as we celebrate the very best personal estate agents, brokerage businesses and brokerage teams from across the UK.Nominate yourself, nominate someone else, or book your tickets here: https://www.personalestateagencyawards.co.uk/ 📚Want a free copy of the ‘Your First £100,000 Estate Agency’ book?✅ DM me the word “BOOK” on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/estateagent.consultancy/ and I’ll send it straight over.📥 Want FREE materials to help get you your next instruction? Head to: https://www.estateagentconsultancy.com/freeintro💻 Want to launch or scale your own estate agency business?Book a free discovery call here: https://theestateagentconsultancy.as.me/sixty-consultation🎓 To access to our ‘Your First £100,000 Estate Agency’ video course. Head over to: https://www.estateagentconsultancy.com/your-first-100000-digital-course📅 Want to join our next free webinar?Get added to the VIP list to find out first: https://www.estateagentconsultancy.com/webinarAny questions?
