Facing the Dragon

Today I am here at the Lynnwood Convention Center where we hold many of our live classes and meetings with coaching clients. For this week’s Zebra Report I want to talk about that sick feeling that most people get when they are confronted by conflict. I want to specifically address what happens to a person […]

Reduce the Pressure & Increase the Patience

I have been talking to many of my clients recently who have expressed that they are feeling overwhelmed from Covid and just wished everything could go back to the way it was. They do not feel like themselves, and their business doesn’t feel like it used to which is causing them great distress. The last […]

Sudden or Gradual Decline in Your Business? Look for the Clues!

I have never met a successful real estate agent that didn’t have specific actions that led them to that success. They may not always be able to pinpoint the exact drivers of success, but success leaves clues, and it then becomes easy to identify those action items. Successful agents repeat specific actions and often don’t […]

Edit, Edit, Edit… The Key to a More Productive Business and Enjoyable Life

There are only so many hours in a day, days in a week, and weeks in a month.   Time is the one thing that we can’t buy more of.  We are the only ones who are in complete control of our time. It can’t be stored up for a rainy day. Everybody has to live […]

The Quiet Mind: Critical Tips for Peak Performance

A personal practice I have done for over 20 years is called my Hour of Power. It is a time where I sit in my office every workday for one hour of uninterrupted time. I do this so that I can focus on key tasks that I need to do without ANY interruptions. I don’t […]

The Power of Numbers

Lately I have been working with a lot of numbers and I have been reminded of their power. While numbers themselves are non-emotional, often they bring up a lot of emotion and therefore, are sometimes avoided. Anyone who has ever not opened their credit card statement or avoided revisiting their commission statements knows exactly what […]

An Organized Mind Is A Powerful Weapon

A calm man amidst chaos

I have worked with many agents over the years and I can assure you that many of those agents were in a state of complete disorder when I met them. Disorganization at work, at home, in their personal space and especially in their mind creates a level of stress that is not good for a […]

Five Questions to Ask Yourself About Time Off

Family Vacation

It’s that time of year. School’s out, the weather is getting warmer, and many real estate agents start dreaming about… vacation! Unfortunately, for many of them it’s just that – a dream. I’m a huge believer in the concept of “quality of life,” or “work | life balance.” Because of that I believe regular time off […]
