Who’s spending a full day on you?

When I became president of Coldwell Banker, my mentor cleared his calendar for me. I’ve never forgotten it.

Most agents are trying to figure this business out alone. That’s the slowest way to do it.

Find someone who’s done what you want to do. Then ask for their time.

Want to be a better agent? Stop working on your business for an hour.

One of the best things I’ve done for my business in years has nothing to do with real estate.

I started taking guitar lessons a few years ago.

After 50 years of being the expert in the room, I’m the student again. It was on my someday list for decades, until I realized someday never shows up on its own. You have to book it like a listing appointment.

Being a beginner keeps your ego in check and your mind sharp. It also reminds you how your newest agents feel every single day.

What’s been sitting on your someday list the longest? 👇 Don't be shy, let me know in the comments.

Your 2027 isn’t decided in January. It’s decided in the next 90 days.

Most agents wait until the new year to plan, and by then they’re already behind.

Here’s what to do instead:

1️⃣ Know your numbers. Decide how many deals you want next year, then work backwards to the number of conversations it takes to get there. No numbers means you’re guessing.

2️⃣ Call your past clients now. Fall calls = spring deals. Almost nobody picks up the phone this time of year, and that’s exactly why it works.

Start now, not in January.

I thought real estate was beneath me.

My father was a Realtor. My brother was a Realtor. I was the one who said no. I was studying economics at UCLA on a pre-law path, watching my friends become lawyers, doctors and producers.

Then I travelled through Europe after graduation. Everywhere I went, successful people wanted to be in real estate.

So I decided that if I was going to do this, I'd raise the bar.

Fifty years later, I've never looked back.

If you've ever felt the need to apologize for being a Realtor, stop. This business builds wealth, shapes communities and changes lives. Stand tall in it.

The Comment Section: Toxic Producer vs. Culture Builder

Every brokerage leader faces this one eventually.

Owners and managers, would you rather have a top producer with a bad attitude who's toxic in the office, or a good, strong producer who actually lifts the office and adds to the culture?

Don't just pick one. Tell me why. And be honest: when you're actually in that spot, what do you do? Who do you actually keep?

Drop your answer in the comment section below 👇 Then read through a few takes and reply to someone who chose the other side. Keep it respectful and let's learn from each other.

Truth Bomb 💣 Your business doesn't need more digital. It needs more analog.

We're living in the most connected time in human history, and yet people have never felt more disconnected. We can reach thousands of people without speaking to a single one. Send an email. Post a video. Schedule a text. Automate a campaign. Generate content with AI. Collect online reviews. Stay visible 24 hours a day.

That's extraordinary, and you should use it. Most of it should be running in the background, consistently building your brand and keeping you top of mind.

But understand what digital really is. Digital is marketing, and marketing is largely passive. It creates awareness. It demonstrates credibility. It reminds people you exist.

What it rarely creates is the depth of relationship that builds real trust, the kind someone needs before they make the most important decision of their life.

Let digital work in the background. Put your energy into real human connection.

Most of us take better care of our cars than we take care of ourselves.

We change the oil on schedule. We fix the roof the minute it leaks. We drop everything the second a client or team member needs us. Then we wonder why we're running on empty.

I learned this the hard way. Early in my career, I gained 30 pounds pushing that boulder up the hill. Sleep, food, exercise. I let it all go.

Today, I work just as hard as ever. But I get my workouts in, I eat well, and I protect my sleep. I'm a better leader for it.

Real-life example: it's 7:45am. Your only workout window is 8 to 9. Your best client calls with a big problem.

Work out. Call them back at 9. Nothing falls apart in an hour, but take that call and the workout is gone for the day.

That's not selfish. That's discipline.

Your clients, your team and your family need you at full strength. Health is our only true wealth.

Truth Bomb 💣 Here's a simple question every agent should ask: do people get better when they work with you?

Do your clients think more clearly? Do they act more decisively? Do they aim higher, solve problems faster, and feel more confident because you're involved?

That's the proximity effect. The best agents don't just complete transactions. They improve the people around them. Clients, colleagues, and partners leave every interaction sharper than they came in.

If people aren't better for working with you, that's your signal to level up.

Every agent hits this crossroads at some point, and I want to know where you land.

Would you rather take a higher split with no office and no support, or a lower split with an office and a full team behind you?

Don't just pick one. Tell me why. Is it about keeping more of every deal, or having the backing to close more deals? And where are you in your career? I have a feeling that changes everything.
