Networking - PowerTeam - Partner Planning Sessions

Leverage, Option 1 is to grind stone lead gen and work hard to earn trust and likeability with strangers looking, at best, a 1-3% conversion rate. OR, Option 2 is to focus on leveraged relationships with 20 local businesses owners you trust, like a refer to. By focusing on top of mind with them, you gain the databases of 20 people. If you focus on a list of 1,000 or earn trust of 20 affiliates and they have a list of 1,000 you now have a referral army of 21,000 people that are hearing about what you offer... AND it's not you doing all the work. You have 20 advocates, raving fans, that are referring you business. Tune in to hear how to build a PowerTeam and how to successfully have productive partner planning sessions.

Sharing Wisdom: Not Fun? Don't Do It

Telling the Truth - a lifestyle

Wow, was this an interesting conversation. It is hard to know who is always telling the truth or not completely honest or just flat out lying to gain something from others. I share some personal situations I have noticed and how I watch for them. We all want to be right, be liked, be successful, so we tend to not always be totally truthful!!

Life Purpose

Great conversation and sharing around living an amazing life, and being on purpose about it. 

Awareness

Being aware while we are running through our own forest can be a blind spot. 

Opportunity or Distractions?

When opportunities show up, are they real opportunities? or distracting you and keeping you from making and taking great opportunities? Take "feelings" out and look at the information. What is you expectation for results? How will this person or product or thing be held accountable to the results YOU want? What is the payback and fastest way to the cash?

Are you a person of value? Do you influence?

Are you a taker? or a giver? Did someone share something with you that you were able to make work for you? In this conversation I share about Paying It Forward.

Criticism

Do you have people criticize you? or give you feedback? or is it Judgement? Things may not always what they appear to be, AND on the other hand, sometimes others can help you see your blind spots.

SHIFT happens

In this short conversation I share some of the 12 tactics in the book, Shift by Gary Keller about how you can shift in changing times. It's about mindset, Re-margining your business, Do more with less, find the motivated, and capture-connect-convert to get more to the closing table. Think of this as your Radical Personal Responsibility to power through a shift and get your unfair share of your market.

What's Holding You Back?

Step 2 is holding you back. So is Step 3, 4, 5 and so on. Too many times we want to "figure it all out" and that is what stops us in our tracks. In this short conversation I share how taking action on step 1 will get you to step 2, and so on. You don't need to know step 10 yet.. until Step 1 is done, everything else is a distraction

Charge The Storm - and have FUN

My M.O. (mode of operating) is "If it isn't fun, don't do it". There are some things that are not going to be fun to do. what I do is "Eat that Frog" or Charge the storm like Buffalo. Cows will sense a storm and start retreating. They are slow so the storm catches up and they keep retreating staying IN the storm longer. Buffaloes will wait till the storm crest the hill, and then charge into it. They get through the storm faster by moving through it. I turn those challenging tasks into a game to get through the storm faster, so it doesn't seem so draining.

Pivot

Taking action is the best way to get moving. If things don't go as planned, know you can control how you handle that. PIVOT and make changes to get results you want. You can take charge and change the outcome. A Pivot is a change in strategy without a change in Vision.

Entitlement

Time Reveals All. As humans, we have issues! Ultimately, some people really will only care about themselves. Someone who acts genuinely interested in you, yet is a shallow, selfish, looking out for their own good, wolf in sheeps wool will reveal themselves eventually.

Best Advice I have heard

WOW.. if you are not on the Clubhouse app, and getting in the Achievers Breakfast house in the #GetUpNGrow group, this session was jam packed with the best advice received by some of the most successful people I know. Get on the app. Here was my share - Mahomes, Michael Gerber and Gary Keller.

Language Love

Great book I read that gave me a life-lesson was the Fearless Loving and Fearless Living books by Rhonda Britten. Live without excuses and love without regret. The grass is not greener on the other side.. it's just more green grass.

Leadership

In this conversation I share personal experience I have with leadership, and that is to be able to do what you expect other to do at a higher level. A leader leads, and too many times owners of companies don't know how anything really works, and don't track results as well as they could because they just hired other people to run everything. Create your "standards" systems and the tracking for that standard being met, THEN turn your people loose inside the system to create results to their maximum.

Living Is Giving or Receiving

Give to receive and when you give give give.. you may even receive when you least expect it or think yo you didn't need it. 

Crisis Leadership

In disasters, or when your train derails, what is your plan? It is so critical to set up systems that RUN your business and you just run the system. When you create the perfect processes and automate them, you can free your mind during crisis situations and deal with it and process through it faster and more efficiently because your core is covered, and you can be present in the moment to make the best decisions.

Do you have Groundhogs Day in your business every day?

Deep Dive on your Database and Leads

What is a lead? This conversation breaks down one of the biggest secrets for a successful real estate business. There is more business than you can even begin to imagine right in front of you. If you are brand new, or been in business for a long time, you may only be getting 10-20% of the business that is available to you. You can double or triple your business THIS YEAR if you just get this plan going in your business. It is about your existing relationships and why your business isn't as successful as you hoped it would be and what to do about it. free recource site with more info at EveryAgent100.com

Effective Decision Making

OR.. just make a decision!!! Get your mind clear. Stuff coms in faster than it can be processed sometimes. Get a GSD day to just get everything done and clear your mind. I share the book Getting Things Done, by David Allen. Might be the most genius productivity, mind clearing/organizing system in the universe.

Living in Abundance

Living a life of no regrets. Living life to the fullest. This plan has worked for me. I share some more specifics in this session.

Commitment - To Yourself and those things you commit to

When you commit to you, a person or cause, you are now obligated to follow through. It is important you follow through for yourself, first, and also for that other person or cause relying on your commitment. Listen to two examples that may help put it into perspective for you.

Change Your Life

This is a great conversation around "The Gap" and where you are today and where you want to be. Take a quick listen and gain some traction for moving towards that amazing place you want to be and keep the journey going.

Old Co New Co - Leverage Collaboration

There is so much power behind Michael Gerbers conversation around you Old Company and your NEW Company!! and what I learned from many people that get excited about a new opportunity that ends up no working out is that they jumped ship. You have such a bigger opportunity to make the new opportunity work if your old opportunity is solid! I will support you being able to build a strong solid NEW opportunity. In this conversation I discuss leveraging your Power Partners now and having those partnership will be better for everyone!!

Walk, Run, Crawl - GET THERE

80% of all small businesses fail after 5 years. Knowing that, you can be on purpose to make sure your business survives!!! and listen to the next recording where I talk about Old Co and New Co, a concept from Michael Gerber. 

Long Game

The long game is the base to run alongside the current day. Too many people don't understand that 100% capture rate comes over the long game plan. Immediate gratification can be costly and not get the desired results. Before you jump on the next "shiny object" because it is offering a special pricing (like at a conference show special) make a plan and strategy to hold it accountable to a 10x return on your investment.

Self Awareness

A Plan is formed by knowing where you are now, and where you want to be. That timeline from point A to point B will have steps that need to be taken to get to the destination.

Your BIG WHY

Many times, someone says "What's Your Why" the responded gets to a surface level WHY. That is good. However, I suggest to really find your core WHY, dig a few layers deeper until you can't answer the questions "so when that happens, what does that do for you?". This conversation can help you break through smaller goals and stay on track for your BIG Monster Goals.

ReInvention

This discussion is about maybe tweaking your passion now in a sort of re-invention to take it to the next level. Is what you do automated? are your results predictable and guaranteed? Do you get 100% buy in from everyone helping? and when you create that system that can help an average person deliver extraordinary results, you are creating or reinventing your business to be even more successful.

Relationships.. This IS MAJOR!!

When you understand what the word "relationship" really means, your results will double, triple and quadruple!!!! YOU ALREADY HAVE MET everyone you need to accomplish your goals 10x

What Person and/or Thing Changed Life

Sometimes we don't realize how someone, or something has impacted our lives until we take time to reflect. The share here ended up being a major pivot point following the most traumatic event that could have sent down a depression hole, and in turn took the path to a surreal world and relationships that would lead to the most amazing life!

Power of Choice

The power IS "you made a choice" and you make choices based on the BEST information you had at that moment. Learn to live without regrets. If your choice didn't have the result you wanted, know THAT is your intel to make an even better choice sometime in the future. I share a topic in the Gratitude posted Dec 30th - E+R=O and I will add to that formula. O+C=E Opportunity + your Choice that is made = and Event. Then plug into Event happens + your Reaction = Outcome. Is it a good or bad outcome? Good would be learning from a bad choice and knowing you are making better choices in the future based on that outcome.

Systems - the Daily Activities for Predictability

Great conversation with my Clubhouse friends around the topic of the first of the year. The topic was Day 1 or 1 Day? I share that the systems give me predictability year after year and give me the things that must get done every day. So, Day 1 for me is every day. I just do the system and once those things are done every day, I can go "ride the day" and that could be an even more productive day, a goof off day or a day of putting out fires. Either way the MUST DO items are all completed.
