Insights From Coaching Agents For Over 18 Years

Why We Overthink

I was driving across town for a first date when a terrible bout of overthinking hit me. The girl I was going to see was friends of friends. I had seen her at at least three group get togethers in the last year. I began to wonder what would happen if we started dating and […]

The Disciplined Agent

Real estate is about to shift gears. Big time. Only the disciplined will survive. We all wanted agents to be more professional, right.

Quit Fighting Psychology

One day, my entire group got “tricked” by psychology (and some magic) and I didn’t know whether or not to tell them what was happening.
