They Don't Need You Less. They Need You Differently.
My daughter just graduated college at 19. And while we were getting ready for the ceremony, going through old photos and videos, I found this one picture. Me holding her hand, her holding Minnie Mouse. We recreated it on graduation day. Same pose, completely different moment. And it hit me that…

A few weeks ago, I was sitting at a Costco gas station when I watched a woman pull into the wrong pump and stretch the hose around the back of her van.My immediate thought?"How entitled."A friend I was talking to on the phone saw it differently.He said maybe she was having a rough day. Maybe she...

The Project I Couldn't Let Go (And Why I'm Finally Coming Back)

Episode 270: "What Can We Learn From From Sports?"
What Can We Learn From From Sports What can an unconventional double play in last night's Braves/Dodgers game can teach us about life and business? I will be honest, I am not as much of a baseball fan as I used to be, the Mariners have kind of ruined for me. If it weren't for living in Las Vegas...

Episode 267: "Just Take The Call"
Once again, just by putting myself and my story out there, someone has shared an interest in what I'm doing. 2 days ago I had someone reach out to me on Linkedin to take a look at a service they were offering. It turns out it has some similarities to what I was doing with my new podcast. While…

Episode 266: "Time Management Struggles"
Sometimes I end up over-committing to things. I have been doing it all of my life. I say yes to so many things that it causes me to be all over the place and my focus suffers. To help with that, I started a 21 day Time Management challenge... and I missed the first day. How is that for irony. I...

Episode 265: "Plans Are Overrated"
This may sound ridiculous but sometimes plans are overrated. Like when you spend all day planning and never get anything done, what's the point. Today I sat down with an Investor builder that has heard the podcast and we are now going to be working together. I never sat down and said, "I'm going…

Episode 264: "Risk vs. Reward"
Is it worth it? I often see people take unnecessary risks and I'm not sure why it is that they do it. When I was a server at a restaurant at the Four Seasons hotel, we always had to write down the order. We weren't taking a chance that we'd forget something in someone's order just to say that we...

Episode 262: "The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon & The DISC Profile"
Ever notice when you see or learn something new it starts popping up all over? That happened to me today.

-
Episode 261: "Be The Creator Of Your Experiences"
It is easy to say that we have the ability to control how we feel about the things that happen to us. But it is another thing to actually be able to respond by putting that idea into action. I have been reading the book The Heart Of The Soul recently and it talks about gaining control of your...
-
Episode 260: "1,000 Ways To Skin A Cat"
I spoke with an agent today about how we run our businesses. It was a great conversation, mainly because we do it differently. But the most important thing is that we are doing what works well for "us". She does things that I don't and I do things that she doesn't. It was an eye-opener to remind…

Episode 259: "Bigger Isn't Always Better"
Today while recording videos for a course, I realized something. Just because something is bigger, doesn't make it better. We all have access to all of the information we could ever want. But most of us, like myself, want that information packaged in a way that it can be useful. I know there are...

Episode 258: "You Can't Handle The Truth... Can You?"
Today I received the first edit back from my book. I read a couple of the comments and I was immediately defensive. 'What do you mean that doesn't make sense?" The reality is, I chose someone not close to me to edit my book so they could give me accurate feedback. Not someone that wanted to tell…

Episode 257: "We Just Want Answers"
Quick update about the client who broke up with me. As well as why we have the need to have explanations to unexplainable things. When we don't know WHY something happens, we tend to build a narrative that will explain why it did. Sometimes there is a perfect explanation for it but we can't wait…

Episode 255: "Can You Spare 10 Minute?"
Our #1 excuse is always, "I don't have time". Can you spare 10 minutes a day for the next year? If you can, that will give you 3,650 minutes, which equals 60 hours you can focus on what it is you want to accomplish. Just that little amount of time can be a huge improvement on yourself.

Episode 254: "Collaborate... Collaborate... Dance To The Music"
When I first got into real estate I was so excited about the opportunity to collaborate with others that thought like me. Unfortunately, that wasn't really the case. Not until about 2 years ago did I get the real opportunity to collaborate. Now I'm in the process of building something special…

Episode 253: "How Do You Respond When Things Don't Go As Planned?"
Today I was scheduled to do a training class, and although I prepared for it, things just didn't go as planned. After a 15 minute late start due to technical difficulties, I was playing "catch up" and fell way behind. Causing me to scramble to put the pieces back together. I had 3 options: 1)…

Episode 252: "What If..."
Every action we take has a significant effect on our future selves. If I did this differently. If I did that differently. Think of some of the most "meaningless" decisions of your life and think of how impacted your life today could. It's a trip.

Episode 251: "Freedom"
Today as we celebrate our freedom here in the U.S. I think about the reason most of us got into the real estate industry. Most of us got into the industry to have freedom. Freedom in our careers. Freedom in our personal lives. Freedom to do what we want to do, when we want to do it. Freedom to…

Episode 250: "Own Your Mistakes"
As you might know, I have completed writing my book and it has been sent off to a new editor. Last night when I received the contract for their services my name was misspelled not once, but twice. I corrected the error and sent it back. I had edited the editor. This morning the editor was so...

Episode 249: "Specialized Knowledge"
In Napoleon Hill's Think And Grow Rich, he states... "General knowledge, no matter how great in quantity or variety it may be, is of but little use in the accumulation of money" I was reminded of this over the past couple of days. My computer went in to be fixed and the cost will be $430, even...
-
Episode 248: "Not Knowing Our Limits Can Be A Good Thing"
Recently I have had major issues with my internet and computers. I'm not really sure how I have even been able to function with them until this point. Now that I know what is available, I can't believe what I was actually able to accomplish with such a low level of tools to be used. It reminds me...
-
Episode 247: "Time... We Don't Get It Back"
Today I spoke with a friend of mine and asked him about the boat he just got. He wasn't very excited about it and told me that he didn't really want to get one. His response was... "Time" He told me that it was going to take up a too munch mental real estate worrying about it. He was excited that...
-
Episode 246: "I'd Be Terrible Working An Assembly Line"
What I learned about myself today is that I don't operate in a single way. On one hand, I want to know where we are going before I start following directions. I don't like just being told, "turn left", "turn right", I want to know the destination. On the other hand, I love to start gathering…

Episode 245: "We Don't Condone Those Comments Or Views - A Message From James Stella Of Kaizen Crossfit"

Episode 244: "Sometimes We Overlook The Easiest Solutions"
It has been solved! After 2 weeks of trying to get a video from my phone to the computer, I have successfully figured it out. It was a very simple fix, that not only myself but others also overlooked. The good news is... I figured it out. The bad news is... I feel like an idiot. The best news…

Episode 243: "Abundance Mindset Vs Scarcity Mindset"
I met with an agent friend today and we discussed business. I believe she has an incredible talent and is somewhat undervalued for her unique skillset. When we spoke about her broker, I realized that she is in an environment of scarcity. He is worried about people stealing her ideas. He is…

Episode 242: "You'll Never Be Ready"
As I sat and enjoyed a nice Father's Day, I thought about how I really wasn't ready to be a father when I became one. It reminded me of all of the things I've missed out on because I was waiting to be "ready". Some of the best things I have in my life today came to me when I wasn't ready. New…

-
Episode 240: "I'm Tapping Out"
That's it! I've had enough! I had to call it quits early today, technology gave me the beatdown. Computer freezing, not being able to upload/download video interviews... It's been a disaster. I have been watching video after video, taking hours to things that should be taking minutes. So I'm…

Episode 239: "How To Build Up Others By Using Leveraged Income"
A while ago I decided that I didn't need to read MORE books, I needed to read books MORE. What I mean by that is that I would shuffle from book to book, just to say that I read them. But what I really needed to do was get more out of the books I already have. This is a paragraph from the book I…

Episode 238: "Upgrade Your Teachability Index"
I attended a class today, something that is not out of the ordinary for me as I try to get into as many classes as I can. But what I found out today kind of surprised me. A self-assessed test told me that I had a Teachability Index score of 42 out of 100. That is terrible! For someone who is…

Episode 237: "Just Solving Problems"
As an entrepreneur, the #1 thing I do, is solve problems. That is what I've been doing for the last 3 days. It is like de ja vu, solving problem after problem to get desired results.

-
Episode 236: "How Quickly Priorities Can Change"
Today I got some news that a real estate deal that I have going on is in jeopardy of not closing, due to a low appraisal. That seemed to be very significant and was weighing on my mind.

-
Episode 235: "Offer Solutions Instead Of Slights"
Today I was on a chat with both Godaddy and Namecheap. Both companies in which I have hosted domains. Most everyone has heard of Godaddy, while I am sure not as many have heard of Namecheap.

-
Episode 233: "Multi-tasking Is Overrated & Inefficient"
Multitasking is overrated and inefficient... At least for me. I have been lacking in productivity, mainly due to a lack of focus. I'm not sure about you, but trying to multitask has left me further from my goals than I'd care to admit. It is time to get laser focused.

Episode 232: "It's Better To Have And Not Need, Than Need And Not Have"
Today I talk about the time my dad wouldn't let me take my swimsuit to my cousin's house and how I made my son take his with us yesterday, even though we weren't necessarily swimming. I just wanted him to be able to go swimming if the opportunity should present itself. It reminded me of why this...

Episode 231: "Why Solving Problems TOGETHER Is So Important"
Today I spoke with a home inspector about his findings on a listing I just sold. I asked him how he did a couple things and he was instantly on the defensive. Keep in mind I wasn't questioning his quality of work, I was just looking for more information so that I could come to a more clear...

As my videographer and I were putting in some final edits, we both got dizzy, looked at each other and said... "Was that an earthquake?" Short answer. Sure was. It brought me back to a time when I had experienced my first earthquake and had no idea what to do. After we moved on from that slight...

Episode 228: "What Were You Going To Do Today?"
What Were You Going To Do Today? This is what my friend asked me today as we sat on his couch. He asked me half-jokingly because he knew I wasn't getting anything done today. He had called me a few hours earlier asking me to come to pick him up. On that phone call he said... "Can you come to my...

Episode 227: "What vs. Why"
In Simon Sinek's book, "Start WIth Why" he explains that people don't buy WHAT you do, they buy WHY you do it. He also says, "without WHY, any attempt at authenticity will almost always be inauthentic". This explains that the WHAT is just the vehicle in which we deliver our WHY. For real estate...

Episode 226: "Just Keep Moving"
I know we always want to keep it positive and say, "keep moving forward". Well, sometimes just moving is good enough. Didn't get to everything on your "to-do" list? If you got to some of it you can still consider yourself productive. As long as you showed up and kept moving, you are still being...
