Friday's BOLD LAW ... " A life by design , not one of default "
I’ve been working with a client, We’ll call him Bob, since February 2020. Bob came to coaching from several years as a top performing TL. He had experience in new home sales, lots of experience in KW Models, but had never been a general broker. And, Bob was in the middle of potentially getting divorced when he decided to go all in at 100% commission…
Then COVID hit.
Bob’s initial goal was “to not suck.” Well, as a coach, that doesn’t give me a lot to work on. We started with Bob’s head trash about how he sees himself (failed marriage, failure to his family, kids, etc.) and progressively worked on building his business.
Bob never gave up. He never quit. He did what we agreed to do. He asked for help. And over time, his vision of a life by design started to become more clarified.
Maybe you have a plan. Maybe your plan was derailed as a result of 2020 and this crazy market we are in now. Or maybe, just maybe… you don’t have a plan for your life by design. Maybe you’ve forgotten how to dream. Maybe you need an outside source to help guide you.
Bob will be the first one to tell you, he wouldn’t be where he is today if it were not for coaching. And I know Don Aldrich well enough to make that same claim for him. Is this a blatant pitch for MAPS coaching? Maybe. If it resonates with you then give them a call and have a couple conversations with coaches to get your questions answered.
In the midst of all Bob was going through, he finished 2020 with 36 units and GCI over $200K. Pretty good considering all he (and all of you) went through. Moreover, he’s on pace to do 57 units this year with a GCI approaching $300K. His rolling 12-month volume is a little over $9.5MM and he just bought an investment property. He’s creating his life by design in more detail every day and his 5-year plan is going to be exciting!
You don’t need to have all the answers today. You might just need someone who believes in you, your abilities, and the company you are in to be your guide. Maybe you just need a partner who asks you the right questions every week to get you started.
One of my all-time favorite book titles (and books) is It’s only too late if you don’t start now” by Barbara Sher. So, start. Today. Right now.
Gary Keller tells us that people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in five. Bob is a living example of that… and KW has thousands of others. Join them and create your life – by design.
