Do you have a growth mindset? You may think you do but really don’t. We all come into life with a certain way of looking at the world. We have a certain perspective about whether or not we – as an individual – are able to change things, make things better, or get better ourselves. Some people get stuck in their pessimism, they see the obstacles or difficulties as being too large for them to overcome.

Not because they are unable, but because they THINK they are unable. This is not some stupid mind-trick or positive thinking schtick I’m talking about here, it’s reality. I hope you listen so you can learn how to do the hard but important work of assessing whether you have a growth mindset…

So, what’s this all about, playing games that nobody else is playing? It really means finding an opportunity that you can capitalize on that your competitors have not caught onto – yet.

Why Realtors have GOT to create a MEDIA PLAN for 2016 – Episode 17
Last week I spoke about a social media plan… and the fact that you as a Realtor have GOT to create one. But when I said that, I said that it requires that you create a Media Plan as well. What’s a media plan? It’s a strategy for producing media, of some kind, that you can use to position yourself as THE go-to expert in your niche (real estate). This can be a very powerful thing for you, especially in your local area. On this episode I’m going to show you how I’m doing that and share some plans for a future show I’m going to create to leverage media to my advantage in a powerful way. Why creating a show is beginning conversations you wouldn’t normally have. Think about the conversation that happens around the water cooler at the office. It’s often laced with conversation about media – television shows, memes from…
