Recently, I shared with a large group of agents how to build their YouTube Channel and upload content. I covered how to use a free product like Canva to create YouTube Channel are and Thumbnails for videos and playlists. Watch this video as I take you through the steps of getting started with YouTube in your business.

While my blog posts are generally focused on business, every once in awhile, I like to slip in something about my family and travel. Our family loves cruises, and we just got back from a 7-day cruise aboard the Norwegian Getaway out of the port of New Orleans. The 5 and a half hour drive from Houston to New Orleans was well-worth the experience our family had despite the noise around the Corona virus (COVID-19). 

Before I dive into our experience, I would like to thank Chris Grum with Premier Custom Travel for putting together this family cruise including a surprise up an upgrade to The Haven that he kept secret along with my wife and daughter all the way up to the boarding process. They got me good. If you're looking to book travel, you need to connect with Premier Custom Travel.

With several conversations I've had in the last few months with business people, and my own personal experience over the years, I thought I would share my perspective on assessments. I believe if used properly as a tool to create conversation they can be useful, yet to use them as an end-all-be-all for decision making purposes can be quite dangerous. Bottom line, the results of an assessment should not be the box you work and live in. Remember this is someone else telling you what they think of your personality, behavior, etc. without ever having a conversation with you. You know yourself better than an assessment. Simply put, used in this way, they are [email protected]#$%.

You know you. Just do you! Be authentic with yourself, and trust who you were created to be...GREAT and UNIQUELY you.

It amazes me in conversations when real estate business owners don't know their numbers. Every issue as a real estate business owner can be solved as a real estate problem. The challenge is if you don't know your numbers, you can't solve the equations.

Here are key numbers I would know as a REALTOR®.

1. Number of Daily Dials/Conversation Attempts
2. Actual Contacts/Conversations
3. Number of Leads
4. Number of Agreements (Buyer Representation Agreements and Listing Agreements)
5. Number of Contracts
6. Number of Closing

Now that you know and track the above numbers, they can now paint a story, and they direct you to the activities that must happen to hit your goals.

Math Equation 1

Step 1: The assumption that for every 100 people you ask the real estate question throughout the year (Who do you know that is thinking about buying a home, selling a home, or investing in real estate I can call today?), you should develop 2 leads on...

Last Thursday, I had the opportunity to train a group of growth-oriented REALTORS® from various brokerages across the Houston area. The class titled Enhancing Productivity While Getting Your Life Back comes from over 10,000 hours of coaching and training agents realizing a common thread of time management challenges. In this 2 hour class, I provided the group several strategies to overcome the challenges of managing time both in business and life. 

Real estate brokerages represented included:

Texas Trade Days LLC
REALM Real Estate Professionals
Keller Williams Realty Northeast
The Doug Erdy Group
FYI Realty
Artisan Living
Mark Dimas Properties
JLA Realty

In the class, I had the opportunity to share additional systems and tools to enhance the agents'...

I have shared with many over the last few months about my health journey, and part of this journey included not sitting down all day at my desk. There are several studies out there that show the detriment to health caused by sitting for hours at a time. Not wanting to be a statistic, I made the decision to get a stand up desk. While the first few days were tough because I was not use to the amount of standing, now it is second nature.

Standing during my video calls and/or phone calls, I notice my energy is much higher, and my clients are noticing too. I've provided Amazon links to purchase the various components of my office setup below. Enjoy the increase of productivity once you too have your setup complete.

As a business owner, have you heard the naysayers that for one reason or another don’t want you to be successful? Sometimes these individuals are outside your circles, yet sometimes it can be a close friend, colleague, or even family.

When I launched my coaching business, I had fellow colleagues that told me I was stupid. I had friends that would say, “You might want to reconsider your decision. It is just going to be too hard to go out on your own.” (Looking back in hindsight, the lesson learned was not everyone is a friend...tough lesson to learn.) Some of the greatest challenges in the early stages was mindset because of all the unsolicited advice from individuals that did not have my interest in mind, and from individuals that clearly did not understand my why.

3 years in, my business is thriving. I am helping more and more real estate agents and small businesses. Dots are connecting, and new and bigger doors...

What I’ve realized as I’ve aged (like a fine bourbon) is that working on my health takes more intention. Gone are the days of eating  and not gaining a single lb.

Something I’ve discussed with other coaches and business owners over the years is the imbalance of pouring into others vs taking care of themselves. Travel , fast food , long hours , etc. can become a diversion from health unless you plan and schedule  it. Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months, and months into years. You wonder how your health has fallen off a cliff.

I want to encourage you, one business owner to another, make health part of your plan. You can only serve others through your business to the extent your health allows you. Making this decision is making a lifestyle change. If you don’t do it for yourself, do it for those that  you.

Today I put in 3.5 miles of cardio and burned over...

While I am no longer licensed at Keller Williams Realty, or for that matter no longer have an active license now that my focus is 100% on coaching up real estate agents and small businesses, I did spend a significant amount of my professional career with Keller Williams Realty. Seeing all my Keller Williams friends and former colleagues posting about KW Family Reunion 2020 in Dallas, Texas starting this Friday, Saturday, February 14th, I thought that sharing how to maximize this event from the perspective of a coach would be of value to those attending this year.

By the way, for those not attending KW Family Reunion, or not affiliated with Keller Williams, these tips will create for you opportunities when attending any large conference or event affiliated with your Brokerage, local MLS, and State and National Conventions.
