Ep 205#205 Coach Code Podcast with Karen and Michael Foster

One of the main goals of attending an event or conference is to get value and improve ourselves. Have you ever attended an event so impactful that you're lost for words afterward? If yes. Then, the organizers have done wonderful work in putting up an unforgettable event for their audience. Organizing and planning events can be a hard yet rewarding process. Join us in this episode as you'll get a lot of insights about organizing meaningful events from Karen and Michael as they share how they started and why they committed themselves to creating events for real estate agents. Show Notes 3:09 Commitment To Events Karen and Michael share that their key takeaway to a value-added event is to help people be better instead of getting individuals to come and partner with them. Their goal is to help everyone succeed not just as agents but to be better people. They do this by getting feedback and testimonials on what people think about the event, giving them a chance to improve and highlight their strengths in creating events. 7:20 Exponential Gains John is fascinated with agents that have long and successful careers in the real estate industry. He shared what Jay Abraham said that stuck with him "If you just do what people are doing in your industry, you'll only have incremental gains but if you want exponential gains you have to look outside of your industry on what people are having success with, the things that are working and what they are doing, you can model them into your organization". 8:20 What Helped You? Michael had an invaluable experience during an event he went to in Kuala Lumpur, where all the civic, financial, and political leaders were present. He observed how it was put together, marketed, and promoted, which made the event successful. He was able to get great insights about the importance of planning and organizing things in putting together a real estate event. 10:05 Biggest Lesson Michael shared a short and powerful story that led them to have Byron Lazine as their guest speaker, you have to think big to get big results and have the courage to go after it! This made an impact on people who attended the event, making the experience unforgettable and worth it because they invested time and money hoping to learn something they can apply to their business and life, as organizers you have to add value, give your best, and pour it to people. 14:09 On Commitment Commitment should not be rare, it should be part of your daily life. People who lack commitment means they say they'll do it but don't have their hearts in it. You have to have the foresight and thought process to be intentional about what you're committing to and success will follow through. 18:13 Overcoming Imposter Syndrome Michael and Karen have overcome imposter syndrome through their eagerness to learn and wanting to do things differently to get better results. They talk about getting in front of people who have been in the entrepreneurial space for a long time and can teach them how to run and do things better. 20:07 On Humility There's always room to learn and grow in any type of industry you're in. The best way to accelerate your growth is through learning and sharing ideas, failures, and successes with people who are in your industry. 22:00 Structuring Business Model From different dynamic individuals, Karen and Michael, together with Scott, built a team that comes from a place of contribution. They shared how they started and worked their way from there to add value to agents. The key is working together to help one another succeed. 26:43 What's The Branding? Michael shared that their company name was from one of their core values of helping people get better and be successful. They built a brand that speaks for itself and what they stand for as a whole. 31:09 Core Values You have to build a team that is aligned with your values. Everything starts and stops with core values because it's tied to your vision. 31:44 Commitment With The Events John opens up about being genuine, authentic, and coming from a place of value and contribution when it comes to committing to other people. It is the same thing as putting together an event, Michael shared how they are intentional with the speaker and audience they are inviting into the event and making sure they add value to where their audience needs to grow their business. Michael and Karen break down their unique setup in being better at organizing yearly events that add value to those who attend.

John's rule of thumb when it comes to proper allocation is 75% is what's going to happen and 25% of what has already happened.

Ep 178#178 Operating at a HIGH LEVEL and Keeping the stress LOW

To operate at a high level, a good mindset is key. You have to be able to see stress as a positive and use it to fuel your operation. This means having a clear strategy for how you're going to approach whatever it is you're trying to do. Whether it's a work project or a personal goal, if you can't focus and stay calm under pressure, you're not going to be able to perform at your best. So next time you're feeling stressed, remember that it's all in your head. And if you can keep your head on straight, you'll be able to achieve anything you set your mind to. Whether you're a real estate agent who's just starting out or a seasoned pro, it's important to keep your stress levels low so that you can continue to operate at a high level. One of the best ways to do this is to have the right mindset. If you believe that real estate is a cutthroat business and that everyone is out to get you, then it's going to be very difficult to stay calm and focused when things get tough. Instead, try to view the real estate industry as a driver's seat for growth - if you're not growing, then you're not doing your job properly. This positive mindset will help you weather the storms and keep your stress levels in check.

EDUCATION + INFORMATION + ACTION = RESULTS It's no secret that success in the world of real estate requires a certain mindset. You need to be able to see potential where others see only problems, and you need to be comfortable with risk. But education is another essential ingredient for success in real estate. Whether you're just starting out or you've been in the business for years, investing in your education is one of the smartest things you can do for your career. And there's no better time to do it than now. The real estate market is undergoing a major shift, and those who are prepared for it will reap the rewards. By educating yourself about the latest trends and technologies, you'll be positioning yourself for success in the months and years to come. And isn't that what we all want? To be successful in our chosen field? So if you're serious about making it in real estate, don't wait any longer - start investing in your education today. If you want to be successful in real estate, it's essential to have the right mindset. But it's also important to have the right business model. After all, your business model should match your market. If you're in a slow market, for example, you need a different business model than if you're in a hot market. In a slow market, you need to be more focused on getting listings and working with buyers who are serious about making a purchase. In a hot market, on the other hand, you can be more relaxed and take a more relaxed approach to working with buyers and sellers. Of course, there's no one-size-fits-all approach to real estate. But if you want to be successful, it's essential to make sure that your business model matches your market. Otherwise, you could end up struggling to sell homes and wasting valuable time and resources.

Ep 173#173 WHO are you at your CORE?

What are core values? Why are they important? And how can they help you in your personal life and business? Core values are the guiding principles that dictate how we live and work. They are the things that we believe in and stand for. They can also be immensely helpful in assisting us with big and minor decisions. For example, let's say you're a real estate agent who is trying to decide whether or not to take on a new client. If one of your core values is "integrity," then you'll want to make sure that the client is someone who you can trust and who will treat you fairly. On the other hand, if your core value is " excellence," then you'll want to be sure that the client is someone who is willing to work hard and is interested in getting the best possible results. In addition to making decisions in our personal lives, core values can also be helpful in making decisions in our businesses. For example, let's say you're a life coach who is trying to decide whether or not to take on a new client. If one of your core values is "compassion," then you'll want to be sure that the client is someone with who you feel empathy and who genuinely wants to improve their life. However, if your core value is "tough love," then you may be more likely to take on a client who challenges you and pushes you out of your comfort zone. Ultimately, core values are incredibly important because they help us to stay aligned with our beliefs and our goals. When we know what we stand for, it's much easier to make decisions that are in line with who we are and what we want to achieve.

#171 Expert Mentors Live - From an Agent to a Team to CEO with Brandon Town and Greg DeMeuleneare

From an agent to a team to a CEO is a series of growths, ups and down. Are you the type of person who welcomes growth, or do you tend to resist it? If you're like most people, it's probably a bit of both. After all, growth can be scary. It often means venturing into the unknown and challenges us to step outside our comfort zones. But it can also be exciting, empowering and ultimately very rewarding. Growth is essential for both individuals and businesses. It helps us to develop new skills, reach our full potential and achieve our goals. Without growth, we would quickly become stale and stagnant. So, next time you're feeling resistance to change, remind yourself of the importance of growth and embrace it with open arms. Who knows what you might achieve? Growth can be a wonderful thing. It can help us reach our goals, achieve our dreams, and fulfill our potential. But it can also be a bit overwhelming, especially if it happens too fast. When we're suddenly faced with a lot of change, it can be tough to know how to adjust. One of the most important things to remember is that growth is a mindset. It's not about how much we accomplish or how quickly we do it. Instead, it's about our attitude and approach. If we can stay positive and open-minded, we'll be able to handle whatever comes our way. Of course, that's easier said than done. But with a little practice, anyone can learn to embrace growth, even when it feels like everything is moving too fast.

Ep 169#169 What is a Business Model?

There are many different types of business models, but the most common one in the real estate industry is the brokerage model. In this model, a company provides a service to connect buyers and sellers of property. The company typically earns a commission on each sale, which is a percentage of the total sale price. This model is used by most traditional real estate brokerages, as well as many online companies. Another common business model in the real estate industry is the management model. In this model, a company provides management services to property owners. The company typically charges a fee for these services, which is a percentage of the total rental income or property value. A business model is like real estate- it's all about location, location, location. But instead of physical space, a business model is concerned with the placement of resources, customers, and profits. In order to be successful, a business model must create value for all three of these components. For example, a real estate company might create value by connecting people who want to buy homes with people who want to sell them. By doing this, the company earns a commission on each sale, while also providing a valuable service to its customers. So when it comes to business models, it's all about finding the right place for your company in the market. A business model is essential for any real estate business. It provides a framework for creating value, generating revenue, and making a profit. without a business model, it would be difficult to attract investors, customers, and partners. In addition, a business model helps to define the company's unique value proposition and how it plans to generate revenue. Without a business model, it would be difficult to identify and exploit new opportunities, or to respond effectively to changes in the marketplace. In short, a business model is essential for any real estate business that wants to succeed in today's competitive marketplace.

Ep 166#166 Expert Mentors Live - Building a Team Within the eXp Model with Pierre Nadeau

Hiring and building a team can be a daunting task. There are so many good people out there, and the process of finding and hiring the right people can be overwhelming. But, if you take the time to do it right, hiring your own team can be an extremely rewarding experience. Here are a few tips to help you get started: 1. Define the roles you need to fill on your team. This will help you create a job posting that attracts the right candidates. 2. Take your time with the hiring process. Don't rush into hiring someone just because you need someone in that role quickly. It's better to wait a little longer and hire the right person than to hire someone who isn't a good fit. 3. Use interviews to get to know your candidates. Ask questions that will help you understand their work style, their values, and how they would fit into your team. 4. Trust your gut. At the end of the day, you'll need to choose the candidate who you think will be the best fit for your team. Trust your instincts and go with the person who you think will be a great addition to your team. Also, coaching is often seen as something that is only necessary for athletes or people who are trying to improve their performance in some way. However, coaching can be beneficial for anyone who wants to achieve a goal or make a change in their life. A coach can provide accountability and support as you work towards your goal, and they can help you overcome any obstacles that stand in your way. In addition, a coach can help you to develop a positive mindset and focus on the things that are important to you. As a result, coaching can be an incredibly powerful tool for anyone who wants to achieve success.

Ep 165#165 Getting Plugged In

It can be tough to feel plugged in at work, especially if you don't have a team to support you. Real estate can be a very solitary profession, but that doesn't mean you have to feel disconnected from the world. There are plenty of ways to stay connected and engaged in your work, even if you're working alone. First, make sure you're staying in touch with your team. Whether you're in the office or out in the field, keep communication lines open so you can always feel connected to your team. Second, stay up to date on industry news and trends. This will help you feel plugged into what's going on in the world of real estate, and it will also help you stay ahead of the competition. Finally, don't forget to network! Meet with other real estate professionals and connect with people in your industry. These connections will help you stay engaged in your work and plugged into the real estate world. One of the great things about learning is that it never stops. There's always something new to learn, whether it's a new skill, some interesting piece of trivia, or a different way of looking at things. Of course, learning can also be challenging at times. It can be difficult to engage with new material, and it's easy to get discouraged when facing a learning curve. However, these challenges are what make learning so rewarding. Overcoming them helps us to grow and develop as individuals, and it reminds us that there's always more to learn about the world around us. So never stop learning, and never give up on yourself. There's always something new to discover.

Ep 164#164 Expert Mentors Live - Elite Principles to eXp Growth & Freedom with Curtis Johnson

Are you tired of working for someone else and not seeing any real wealth accumulation? The traditional path to wealth - going to school, getting a good job, and working hard - is no longer a guarantee of financial security. But there is another way to build wealth and achieve financial freedom: revenue share. Revenue share is a simple concept: you invest money in a business, and then you receive a percentage of the profits that the business generates. This can be an incredibly powerful wealth-building tool, especially if you invest in businesses with high growth potential. And best of all, it doesn't require years of slogging away at a job you hate. You can start generating wealth right now by investing in revenue share programs like eXp have. So if you're looking for a new way to build wealth and achieve financial freedom, consider revenue share. It's a powerful tool that can help you reach your goals. Residual income is the income that continues to come in even after the initial investment has been made. In other words, it's the money that keeps on coming even when you're not actively working for it. For many people, residual income is the key to financial sustainability. It's what allows them to live comfortably without having to worry about their income drying up if they decide to take a break from work or retire. There are many different ways to generate residual income, but one of the most popular is through investing in real estate. When you invest in property, you can often continue to receive rental income even after you sell the property. This can provide a steady stream of income that can help to support your lifestyle and make it easier to weather any financial storms that come your way. If you're looking for a way to generate some extra income, understanding residual income is a good place to start.

Ep 163#163 Expert Mentors Live - "Get" them to GET them with Chauncey Pham

We live in a world that is full of problems. But sometimes, it seems like we focus more on the problems than the solutions. We dwell on what's wrong, instead of what's right. We fixate on the negative, instead of the positive. But what if we flipped the script? What if we focused more on the solutions than the problems? Instead of dwelling on what's wrong, we could celebrate what's right. We could fixate on the positive, instead of the negative. Of course, this isn't always easy. It's easy to get caught up in the problems. But if we make a conscious effort to focus on the solutions, we can make a real difference in the world. And that's something worth striving for. It's human nature to focus on what we don't have. We see the gap between where we are and where we want to be, and it can be tempting to fixate on that. But if we want to make real progress, it's important to focus on the gains we can make rather than the gap itself. When we focus on the gap, we dwell on what we lack. But when we focus on the gains, we open up possibilities for what we can achieve. This doesn't mean ignoring the gap altogether. It just means changing our mindset from one of scarcity to one of abundance. When we do that, the world becomes a much richer place. So next time you find yourself fixating on the gap, take a step back and remind yourself of all the gains you can make. It's a far more productive way to live.

Ep 162#162 Expert Mentors Live - 7 Ways You Can Pivot Your Business and Thrive in a Low Inventory Market with Alex Piech

As any real estate agent knows, generating leads is essential to success. However, finding motivated sellers can be a challenge. One way to generate seller leads is to target expired listings. These are properties that were on the market but failed to sell. The owners may now be motivated to sell quickly and for a lower price, making them perfect lead generation targets. Another way to generate seller leads is to track down For Sale by Owner properties. These are properties that are being sold by the owner without the help of a real estate agent. The owners may be open to working with an agent if they can get a good deal, making FSBOs another great lead generation opportunity. By utilizing these techniques, real estate agents can build a steady pipeline of motivated seller leads. Lead generation can be a tricky business. You spend all this time and money generating leads, only to find that most of them go cold within the first few days or weeks. But there's no need to give up hope just yet. One way to revive your lead generation efforts is to change your targeting and messaging. Try retargeting your ads to people who have visited your website but haven't signed up for your newsletter, for example. Or send them a follow-up email with more information about your product or service. By retargeting your ads to people who have already visited your site or interacted with your brand, you're much more likely to get their attention. And by tweaking your messaging to be more relevant to their needs and interests, you'll increase the chances of them taking the next step and becoming a customer. If you're not getting the results you want from your lead generation campaigns, don't be afraid to experiment with your approach. You may just find that a little change can make a big difference.

Join us for this week's episode of the Coach Code Podcast with Jacqui Bowman as we talk about life, business, and whatever else we dive into. Jacqui Bowman has been in the real estate industry for 18 years and has grown her business through relationship-based lead generation. As the market shifted in 2007, 2008, and 2009, she was able to double her business and thrive in the industry. In addition, she served as the CEO and Team Leader at Keller Williams from 2009 to 2012. In the following year, she became a Productivity Coach at the same brokerage. She grew a successful small real estate team of 4 agents but later discovered how to net more money by being a teacher and giver rather than having a traditional team. In 2017, she launched her own national coaching business, Jacqui Bowman Coach. It grew to be one of the top coaching businesses in the real estate industry. Her coaching focuses on living a better life, netting more money, and gaining leverage. In 2017, she partnered with David Best and launched eXp Realty in Ohio. Jacqui is now a top 1% influencer and attractor at eXp Realty with over 30 agents in her front line, and almost 400 in her group. Of the 30 in her front line, 8 are ICON agents, while 8 are capping agents. Her passion and daily talent zone are: helping agents gain confidence, think differently, and create their own vision and version of success in real estate to truly live a better life. Show Notes About Jacqui Brown 1:40 Jacqui has been in the real estate business for 18 years now and opened her business in 2017. Despite her growth experience in her career, she also had bad times, such as getting a divorce, but it also made her become one of the top real estate agents in the market. Keeping Her Foot on The Gas or Continue To Grow 3:33 Jacqui has also been feeling guilty about not doing enough throughout her career. But with her mindset and attitude towards the business, she was able to help agents look better and make their lives better by helping them within the 30 minutes to think differently. 4:52 If Jacqui was to give someone advice, she would probably tell them to surround themselves with people that will help them to remind themselves of everything that they've done and revisit their gains. Jacqui has been making people think differently and gain confidence in their own clarity and their own plan. Celebrate and Focus on the Wins 5:47 Jacqui shares that it's just our worldly environment; there's always something better that we can do better and can always do bigger, and coming to the realization that bigger isn't better; better is better. Move Out of Imposter Syndrome 7:57 It was a struggle for Jacqui in her few years because sometimes it gives her an off-feeling, but it has always been naturally her passion. The Framework 10:11 John shares his experience during his time in his career coaching. He has been coaching people that are not even close to the amount of production that these people are doing. It's all about based on the fundamentals and certain contexts and frameworks. 14:53 Jacqui also agreed with John that it's all about understanding how to do it, and practicing to make it close to perfect, just like what questions to ask them to help them become motivated and move them to greater motivation. The Fear that Stepped Back in Business 18:28 It's about the leverage piece within our career and personal life. Jacqui shares that there's also a lot of guilt, ego, and control. The imposter syndrome or the fear of becoming not deserving that kind of confidence in success and growth in a career. One Way To Succeed 20:58 John and Jacqui share their insight on plenty of ways to fail and the only one way to succeed. Jacqui shows her tattoo on her arm and tells people to believe in themselves, which goes to confidence in the latter. Jacqui believes that many people have a vision, but until they believe they can do that, it will work out. The more you commit to something, the quicker you'll figure it out. 23:52 The only way to succeed is through failure, and it takes either that personal failure or wisdom that will lead you to success and that specific failure will lead you to incredible relationships. Where Does That Inspiration Need To Be Drawn From? 25:52 As John asked Jacqui this question, Jacqui shared some healthy and inspirational insights to this question. It's all about surrounding yourself with people who have done it or with people who have achieved higher than you have. No matter what happens but you're committed to it, it will work out great. The Power of Affirmations and Speaking Positively 31:56 Write down the affirmations. You are brainwashing yourself with your affirmations and making your brain believe them. These are one of the few things that Jacqui share

There's something to be said for starting out humble. Whether it's in your career, your personal life, or your relationships, humble beginnings can set the tone for a healthy mindset of growth. When we start out humble, we open ourselves up to learning and expanding our horizons. We're not afraid to take risks, because we know that we have nothing to lose. We're also more likely to be grateful for the things we do have, rather than fixating on what we don't have. So if you're feeling stuck or stagnant in any area of your life, it might be time to humble yourself and start over. Who knows? You might just surprise yourself with how far you can go. In business, a bottleneck is any process that limits productivity or efficiency. When you identify bottlenecks in your business, you can take steps to eliminate them and improve your bottom line.

That's why it's important to have a growth mindset when it comes to your business. Always be on the lookout for opportunities to improve efficiencies and eliminate problems. Once you've identified a bottleneck, the next step is to take action. Don't just sit back and hope that things will improve on their own. Take specific steps to address the issue and get your business moving again. With a little effort, you can overcome any obstacle and achieve success.

Ep 156#156 Learning How To Collapse Time, Being Coachable, and Achieving Your Goals with Coach John Kitchens

When it comes to professional development, there are a lot of terms that get thrown around: mentoring, coaching, sponsoring, and quality assurance. It can be hard to keep them all straight. Here's a quick guide to the difference between mentoring and coaching. Mentoring is about passing on quality skills and knowledge from one person to another. The focus is on quality over quantity - it's more important that the mentee learns useful skills that will help them in their career than it is for the mentor to show off everything they know. In contrast, coaching is more about helping someone identify and reach their goals. The coach works with the coachee to help them develop the skills they need to achieve their objectives. There isn't necessarily an asymmetry of knowledge between coach and coachee - instead, the coach acts as a sounding board and sounding board, helping the coachee to develop their own solutions. So, what's the difference between mentoring and coaching? In short, mentoring is about quality and skills while coaching is about quantity and goals. Choose whichever approach makes more sense for you and your career development needs. When you're looking for a coach, you want someone who can help you improve your quality of life. But how can you tell if a coach is right for you? Here are a few things to look for: First, consider the coach's skills and experience. What kind of training do they have? What kind of success have they had working with clients in the past? Make sure that they have the knowledge and expertise to help you reach your goals. Second, take a look at the coach's methods. What kind of approach do they take to coaching? Do they focus on positive reinforcement or tough love? Do they use traditional techniques or cutting-edge methods? Choose a coach whose methods fit your personality and style. Finally, consider your goals. What do you hope to achieve through coaching? Do you want to improve your fitness level, make more money, or find a more fulfilling career? Make sure that the coach you choose is committed to helping you reach your specific goals. If you keep these things in mind, you'll be sure to find a quality coach who can help you improve your quality of life.
