I hesitated in publishing this blog because I’m just taking notes from some of my journals and sharing them here for 15,000 readers. You may get a takeaway or two from them, or not. Though for me, I’m finding that the more I share my authentic thoughts and personal insights, the more I connect with people. I hope you connect with some of my notes and reach out to connect more if they land with you.

The world needs more builders - let’s go build, and along the way, THINK BIG, and QUESTION EVERYTHING.

Random Notes & Thoughts:

On Brokerage Thoughts (separated this out):

• Don't want to partner with: the babysit agents, agents with consistent customer complaints, needy agents who are not resourceful, big ego agents, takers and not givers, not appreciative, lazy, not working hard/no hustle, constant low level question agents for questions that have already been answered, ask same questions to multiple people agents, "do it for me" type of agent who is not willing to do the inner work to learn to grow new skills themselves.

• Looking to partner with: self sustaining real estate sales professionals who want to GROW - become business owners in a positive productivity environment - and build wealth (invest) and achieve financial and time freedom. No frills, no shiny objects, no fluff, no distractions. A community of like-minded, growth oriented entrepreneurs who want to get to the next level together. 

• Recruiting: How can you tell if a person has grit, drive, and perseverance within 15 minutes (really hard)?

• Agents coming from another brokerage LOVE Momentum, brand new agents don't know the difference. This is normal. You don't know what you don't know. 

• Goldman Sachs vs. Walmart brokerages (don't be Walmart, too many already). 

• Touch programs and your database (golden ticket). Goal is to make it systematic and automated (Momentum's automated Focus Program).
