As a top-selling luxury real estate agent in NYC, and CEO of a 400+ person company, I've worked with 94 billionaires.
Here are 3 things I've learned about how they manage their time and grow their businesses 👇
1. Urgency vs Importance
Most billionaires have 1,000 things happening at the same time:
Projects, employees, pitch meetings, and a LOT of people trying to get in contact with them…
Oh, and they’re real people, so they still have all of the family obligations that the rest of us have; birthdays, holidays, weddings, funerals, etc.
And it’s for that reason that I’ve noticed they are AMAZING at discerning between tasks that are urgent vs important.
Sometimes, the most “urgent” tasks aren’t actually very important.
On the other hand, there are almost always things we can do that would make MASSIVE improvements to our lives, but they’re not necessarily urgent.
2. Delegate (almost) EVERYTHING!
It’s hard to work your way into a billionaire’s “circle of trust.”
But once you’re in, you’re in!
Most billionaires will delegate virtually every task they have to the people they trust so that the only thing left on their plate is making the most important big decisions.
3. Say “no” to zero-sum games
If the only way I can win is by someone else losing, that’s a zero sum game.
Billionaires don’t play those.
Rather than focusing on owning the “entire pie” and taking from others, they focus on owning a small slice of a larger pie and working with a team to make that pie as big as possible.
So, how can you use these strategies in your own life?
A) Focus on the most important tasks that create the best outcomes
As a real estate agent, I’m always thinking about what I can do to help my clients’ sell their homes faster AND for more money.
And that’s where the importance of cosmetic updates, basic repairs, and staging comes in.
Not only do staged homes spend 73% LESS time on the market, they also fetch 5% - 25% ABOVE listing price 85% of the time.
B) Delegate everything you can
As a real estate agent, your job is to focus on lead generation and negotiation.
So, rather than picking up your paint brush and hammer, or moving furniture around at your listings, use Curbio!
Curbio helps you with all the cosmetic updates, basic repairs, and staging needs for your listings.
This way, you’re delegating the headache to professionals that you can trust, allowing you to focus on the what matters most.
C) Only say “yes” to positive-sum games
Whenever I take on a new client, I’m playing a positive-sum game:
I only get paid when their house sells, and I earn more if I can sell their house for more.
Curbio is similar!
Rather having your client pay super high service fees upfront, regardless of the final outcome, they are pay-at-closing! So no money has to be spent out of pocket upfront.
