In real estate, you either have what it takes to make $500k or you don’t. What holds people back from the income level they want is putting their focus on the wrong things.

We think prioritizing everyone else is what will allow us to succeed but we actually have to learn to respect ourselves more.

We pour everything into our businesses and leave very little for our families instead of giving them our best. We chase small wins instead of making the long-term legacy play.

What if we could make a leap in our income by making small changes to how we do things? How can we open our own inner dialogue so we can grow? How do we build strong relationships and connections while still respecting ourselves?

In this episode, I’m joined by the co-founder of Lopez & Lopez REALTORS® and author of “The Best Way to Do Everything Wrong”, Tyler Lopez. We talk about the value of respecting ourselves as business owners, and what keeps us from earning what we want.

Everything in life is basically relationship building. -Tyler Lopez

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

• Independence vs teamwork
  Competing alone and winning with a team are not mutually exclusive. How can being independent while working with a team help shape a business?
• Doing one thing well
  Many people believe reaching their income goals means sacrificing their most important relationships. How do we shift our perspective on this?
• Bad hires
  A bad hire can disrupt team dynamics and hinder long-term growth, as they may lack alignment with the company's values, culture, or long-term vision. How do we deal with them and what steps do we take?

As real estate pros, we can swing from feeling like the greatest salespeople to wanting to quit very quickly. If a consultation goes well, we’re at the top of the world. If we don’t get a sale, we feel rejected, dejected and ready to leave the business entirely.

The best salespeople aren’t immune to this emotional rollercoaster, but they deal with it differently. Of course, the rejection hurts, but instead of licking their wounds, they bounce back faster so they can win the next deal.

How do we learn to move through rejection faster? How do we better handle the emotions that come with working in sales? In this episode, I share one lesson I have learned from the great agents we’ve featured in the magazine.

People think once you reach a certain point in sales, you won’t suffer from the same emotions negative everyone else does. That’s not true. The only difference is the amount of time you let it affect you. -Remington Ramsey

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

• The challenge all salespeople face
  Real estate sales can be an emotional rollercoaster. How do we create more emotional fortitude to reduce the ups and downs?
  
  
• Don’t lick your wounds for too long
  Top producers might feel the sting of a rejection, but they don’t dwell on it. How do they use negative emotions to get better?
  
  
• Surround yourself with people who support your dreams
  As people, we’re very easily influenced by the people we’re around the most. How do we make sure these people are helping us move in the right direction?

Do you ever feel like no matter how much wealth you gain, it never feels like enough? You’ve achieved financial success, but deep down, there’s still that sense of dissatisfaction - that lingering feeling that something’s missing.

Many of us strive for more, thinking that accumulating wealth will fill the void, but we end up realizing that material gain alone isn’t the answer.

The truth is, true wealth isn’t measured in dollars; it’s measured in how we use our gifts to make a difference.

What if the real transformation you seek isn't just about building wealth, but about making an impact greater than yourself?

In this episode, philanthropist, venture capitalist, and entrepreneur, Christopher Harper joins me to discuss his journey of radical transformation, making an impact beyond ourselves, and the challenges he's faced while writing his soon-to-be-published book, Beyond Hell’s Flames.

When you have a second chance at life, you don’t look at things in the same way. -Christopher Harper

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

-Getting a second chance at life

A second chance at life often shifts our perspective, making us value things differently than before. What else changes when we’re gifted with a second chance?

-Create an impact that extends beyond ourselves

Making an impact greater than ourselves involves contributing to causes or initiatives that benefit others and create lasting positive change. How can we focus our efforts to ensure that the impact we make extends beyond our personal gains?

-Talents vs. gifts

Talents are skills we develop through practice, while gifts are innate abilities tied to our purpose. How can we identify the difference between a talent we've honed and a gift we were born with?

As agents and business owners, a bad day can kill our motivation and destroy our momentum - that is, unless we do something about it.

Let’s face it, as frustrating as it can be, a bad day in real estate isn’t a catastrophe. It’s usually that no one picked up our call, or that we grinded all day with no results. In the grand scheme of things, that’s not a big deal, and you can easily turn this around.

There’s one step you can take to not just get rid of the negativity, but actually do something positive. It’s as simple as writing a note.

How can you use handwritten notes to turn around a bad day? In this episode, I talk about a simple technique to cure a bad day.

In our businesses, the things that contribute to a bad day aren't that big of a deal. -Remington Ramsey

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

-It’s all about perspective

In real estate, what we consider a bad day isn’t as bad as we think. How do we gain perspective from professions that experience really tough circumstances?

-Don’t turn a bad moment into a bad day

When we’re having a bad day, it tends to narrow our focus on the negative. How can we instantly see the bigger picture?

-The power of handwritten notes

When a bad day has been brought on by a client, how can we channel that into deepening our relationships?

In today’s digital age, there’s a powerful, often overlooked tool that can transform your real estate business—YouTube. Many agents are stuck in the old ways, focusing on costly methods while missing out on the vast opportunities that lie in video content.

By creating content that resonates with audiences, you can establish yourself as an authority, attract clients, and grow your business—all while spending time and effort, not money.

How do we overcome the doubt and uncertainty that comes with going the non-traditional route? What is the importance of laser-focus when it comes to businesses being built on and around YouTube?

In this episode, Levi Lascsak and Travis Plumb of Passive Prospecting join me to talk about building a real estate business on YouTube, what their approach to it was and why it's important to surround yourself with people who can help elevate us.

Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

-Stick to what you know

It can be difficult to navigate unfamiliar situations when you’re starting out in real estate, especially if we’re not educated on them. How can sticking to what we know help in these situations?

-Naysayer no go

When we're just starting out, it's easy to get discouraged by the naysayers. Why should we just keep our head down and focus on what matters?

-Social media success.

Social media is vast and different platforms have different success rates. Can success on one platform be duplicated on another?

I’ve learned that when you become everything to what a need is out there, there’s no denying that people are going to magnetize towards that. -Chris Mosier

The real estate landscape is competitive, and without a clear niche, it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle.

Many real estate professionals face the same dilemma of getting stuck in a sea of generic listings, unable to differentiate themselves or their brand.

Launching a franchise, especially in a new state, is daunting enough, but focusing on a niche like lakefront properties adds another layer of complexity.

But what if you could turn that niche into your biggest advantage, becoming an expert in that field? How valuable would it be to offer something truly unique that draws clients to you?

Chris “The Lake Realtor” Mosier, broker and listing agent at Lake Front Living joins me to talk about her journey owning a franchise and growing it nationally and how she found her passion in lake homes.

Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

• Intentionality when it comes to family
  We need to be more intentional when it comes to what we plan and create for our families. How does this contribute to the memories they make and carry?

• Generalist vs. specialist
  If we need brain surgery, we’re going to want a specialist, not a generalist. Why does the same apply when we want to purchase a lake home?

• Why some things aren’t better done alone
  A lot of money and time can be wasted doing things on our own if we’re not educated properly on it. Can we save time and money by asking for help?

Guest Bio

As the driving force behind Ohio's Premier Lakefront Realtor Brokerage, Chris Mosier's mission is to unite buyers and sellers of lakefront properties across the state. Since founding Lakefront Living Realty—The Lake Team in 2015, the brokerage has expanded to include four virtual offices located at Hoover Reservoir, Apple Valley Lake, Candlewood Lake, and Put-In-Bay. Each office is staffed with resident realtor specialists who have an intimate knowledge of their respective lakes and markets. Chris is also excited about adding Buckeye Lake and Indian Lake to the roster this season. The brokerage's membership in every MLS in the state ensures that their listings receive statewide exposure, catering to buyers who prefer to be within a 2-3 hour driving radius from their home. Their custom website simplifies the search process, focusing solely on lake homes.

In 2017, Chris partnered to franchise Lakefront Living Realty International, which is now operating in 12 states and is steadily working toward a nationwide presence—one lake at a time. Chris is honored to have been recognized in Entrepreneur Magazine's Franchise 500 for 2023, a distinction achieved by less than 5% of real estate franchisors. Although not yet ranked, Chris is determined to change that in the coming year, with eyes set on global lakefront domination.

I am a product of what we teach and we wouldn’t be here today if it wasn't a methodology that actually works. -Amanda Holmes

Many people believe the best way to grow your business is to be a generalist. But the truth is: trying to be everything to everyone can dilute efforts and leave you with little to show for it.

The key to doubling your business lies not in spreading yourself thin, but in playing the long game—focusing your energy on one place, one community, and the right clients.

What if, instead of chasing every potential lead, you honed in on the clients who truly value your services?

What would it feel like to have a clear, focused strategy that leads to real, measurable results? How much time and energy could you save by zeroing in on the right clients and community?

Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

• How to identify the right client
  The better buyer isn’t always the biggest one. How do we identify who our perfect client is and how do we tap into that?

• The power of consistently showing up
  How does constantly showing up prepare us to make breakthroughs? Do we need to be present for every opportunity that presents itself?

• Crafting messaging that actually works
  Doubling our sales is all about focusing on simple things that move the needle. How do we craft messaging that captures attention?

The pain of staying miserable is stronger than the pull of going to something that is pleasurable. -Steve Rupp

Imagine spending years - maybe even your entire life - dedicated to something, only to realize it’s not where you need to be?

It can be disheartening and confusing to invest so much time and energy into something that has essentially become your identity, only to feel a call to something else entirely.
