Greetings!
You may have started your business from a much better place than I.
I started my business life with no college degree, no money, and plenty of struggles. I blamed my struggles on my lack of credentials.
Can you relate?
I pushed hard to learn everything I could --constantly reading, studying, and learning so I would not look stupid.
I kept thinking that when I learn this or get that certification THEN I'd feel confident to do more and be more.
I was a “Someday I Will or Someday When….” guy. But someday never seemed to arrive.
Do you ever feel like "someday" I'll have time, I'll have the money, my business will run 'right' or whatever it is for you?
It took me YEARS to understand a very important lesson. I was always enough at every point in my life!
I believe you are, too. You are enough. You are smart enough, good enough, and worthy enough
But Do YOU believe it? I know I did NOT feel like I was.
I was driven to be more than a lumberyard manager. As contractors came into my yard they talked about the real estate they just bought and the money they made. I wanted a piece of the pie.
I began to invest in real estate. I bought my first investment property at twenty. The deal did not go well. I ended up in court with the seller. I won, but swore I'd learn how real estate transactions worked and went to get my license.
Once I understood how real estate was supposed to work I became passionate about helping others avoid the experiences I had .
Have you ever had an experience that you thought was "bad"
What is your passion? What is your jam? What is your purpose, your mission, what drives you from within...your inner being?
At 27, I felt stuck in a job I hated. I had two children and several rental properties. I had tried real estate sales part time and quickly realized I couldn't fulfill my need to provide a higher level of service and do things the right way. So I stopped.
I refinanced my investment properties, went into debt and quit my job. Most people thought I was crazy!
Two years later, I opened my own brokerage from my home and in six short years we went from zero to number six in our twenty three cities and towns.
I made a commitment to take control of my life...period.
Have you fully committed yet? Do you know, clearly, what you have committed to?
Six years later we moved from not being a company to be number 6 in our 23 cities and towns! Pretty good...but not good enough.
So, I purchased a RE/MAX Franchise. One year later we became the #1 office in our market, outperforming all competitors and producing 52% more sales with 48% fewer agents! Our associates averaged over 23.5 transactions per agent per year INCLUDING our "newbies".
This impressive production prompted RE/MAX International to recognize us as the Fastest-Growing Brokerage in the US for our market size! How? With a clear strategic vision designed to serve ideal agents and clients.
As you've probably seen in my list of accomplishments I went on to sell those businesses...I share the full details with my clientele because my need to sell and the collateral damage I created during that time in my life is what drives me...I NEVER want anyone to make the same mistakes. My failures gave me a priceless education. Not only business education but even more so, the B.S. that is sold as "mind set" and "Self-help" I was a shelf-help addict (not a spelling error) What I now know is a lot of what is taught by well meaning coaches, gurus, and authors can have devastating consequences. Any way...
Lisa and I went on to open a real estate brokerage and cafe together in one building. It was FUN! The cafe struggled so we sold it...and we were awarded the master franchise development rights to the state of Massachusetts for a major national real estate brand. This gave me so many opportunities to learn about what makes the best agents and brokerages tick. It also allowed me an inside view of many of the major coaching and training companies. This has been invaluable to me and my clientele.
Are You Ready For A Deep Dive Towards The Innermost Secrets To Your Success?
I believe I can help you, regardless of your business or profession.
I've discovered most people, maybe even you, already know what to do to succeed but are not doing what they know. Are you?
Many of us commit to certain actions or goals but then do not commit to the commitment and change direction or quit.
It's often said that Michael Jordan would not have been as successful as he was if it were not for Phil Jackson. Could Phil Jackson play basketball at the level of Michael? No, few ever have! Can we agree, the right coach and coaching approach can help even the best be better and, that it is not the experiences of the coach or mentor that are most important.
The point is you probably focus on "how to" do business better than you are today. You have probably invested to learn HOW to improve your marketing, sales, and conversion techniques. Maybe you invest in better technology or improve your hiring, training and delegation skills.
Don't get me wrong, of course you have to learn more and better ways to do things. However, I believe this is how to achieve incremental improvement. If that is all you are seeking that's fine.
So, while I may not know your business, I do know success principles.
And, If it helps you...in addition to the lumber yard and real estate brokerages and being a real estate franchisor, I owned and/or managed MANY businesses including starting and directing a ski school, starting a ski rental business, purchased a sporting goods retail store and wholesale division, including an apparel embroidery and screen printing business, opened and operated a cafe and co-developed Goal Genesis, a software platform to help clients commit to and achieve their goals. I've been around the block.
If you are seeking a quantum leap then we need to change the most important thing...YOU and Your Relationship to your business!
Alignment is crucial.
Remember I said, my failure was my greatest education? It was the conflict within me that triggered me to spin out of control and ruin a six million dollar a year business.
Now, after several years of work, I am 100% responsible for my life, even when it seems outside conditions are influencing my success (or lack thereof). It is not outside...it is me. That's why I am on a mission to help others, maybe you to discover how to align their business and life vision with who-they-really-are because I do not want them to suffer the disastrous effects of getting this wrong!
That may have felt rather blunt. In my experience, so many try to get to where they are going without discovering what makes them tick...then transforming and aligning because it is easier and more comfortable. Change is difficult! There's no way around that.
This fact leads to chasing shiny lures...chasing the next training program, technology or whiz-bang whatever.
Why?
Because it FEELS like they are improving. But they are not really. It's infotainment or just another distraction. The fact is... for most, MORE is not the answer...nor is better the answer.
If you are ready, willing and committed to experiencing a quantum leap, I have developed proven strategies and techniques to guide you to more clarity, to move through fears, self-limiting beliefs, value conflicts, and propel you towards the success you truly desire.
I know that my methods work! I did not create these processes, but I have learned and applied them on a deeper level so the strategies and techniques I use aren’t just something that you just learn, set and forget. It will require a commitment on your part.
I will help you achieve personal and business growth by guiding you to begin at the beginning. You are the source of your success. So together, let's discover who-YOU-really-are, then create a clear and vivid vision of your ideal life and layout a blueprint to follow to develop the character and attitude necessary to become the person who creates a business that serves your life, your ideal life. Be you, Be Willing, Be Free.
