How 90 days can help make your year!
I am a big believer in business planning and success scheduling. My entire coaching philosophy is rooted in these two prime building blocks. While your annual business plan can create a structure and vision for the entire year, I like to work in three mini-90-day plans that help allow for local...
Don’t doubt the DEBT!
The issue is REAL! The reality is becoming more and more apparent. Debt is a national problem, and it’s going to get far worse before it gets better! The main culprit is the federal government. NOBODY has more debt on the planet than the United States of America. That debt continues to...
Some seemed surprised!
The FED didn’t cut rates and some seemed surprised. Inflation is still an issue, and some seem surprised. Stagflation is now a strong possibility, but some seem surprised. The Treasury department is struggling how to continue to borrow money to feed the debt, but some seem surprised....
Planning for Summer!
One of the key components of coaching is to be sure that my clients are well scheduled and prepared for things they know are coming. Planning for summer is often overlooked but can make a huge difference in your business. You need to look and prepare for events that are going to take place so you...
The Markets Respond

Sometimes you say something and you later regret having said it. Sometimes you think you are helping, but then say something that only makes things worse! We have all been in or seen that situation and understand how it happens. But when the person who says it is in a position of power, it can...
Click bait runs wild!
If you look at social media at all, you would think the real estate world has come to an end. As usual, those who largely make a living generating clicks as opposed to clients are running crazy with their views on the NAR settlement with the DOJ. The problems come from the fact that many people...
NAR Settlement Overview
First let me start out by saying I am not an attorney and all the views here are my own opinions based on the public information and conversations I have had with those in the industry. The recent settlement between NAR and the DOJ contains many items that will need to be addressed and dealt...
Not just yet!
Are we there yet? No, not just yet!
For months now we have seen social media and the “experts” share their thoughts on why rates would be going down significantly. This has caused many in our industry to predict lower rates and talk about 5%, even 4% or lower rates to come. The issue...
What’s the TRUE COST?
When you talk options, be sure your clients know the true cost of their choices. I have had a number of conversations recently where my clients have won deals because they put the client in a position to succeed by sharing the true cost of their choices. We spoke a few months ago as we approached...
