You have probably heard the term “boundaries” many, many times by now. There’s even a series of best-selling books about the concept. When the topic is brought up you know exactly what you’re about to hear. You need to do less. You need to stop running around like a chicken with your head cut off. You need to put hard-and-fast rules in your life that protect your private and family time. And you know what? Those are exactly the things you need to do.

How to have CONFIDENCE as a Real Estate Agent – Episode 27

EP 27 Album Cover

One of the things I’ve noticed over the years as a real estate agent is that many agents give up after only a short time of trying the business. That breaks my heart. I don’t like seeing it. I know that many of those agents didn’t have to give up and didn’t have to step out of the business. The problem was that they got discouraged and no one was there to help them. On this episode of the Onion Juice podcast I am here to give you some encouragement, I’m here to give you a shot of confidence that you can do it.   Why do so many real estate agents quit every year?   That is a question I’ve asked myself for a long time. I don’t think it’s that the business is too hard. I don’t think it’s that they are not equipped for the job. I think it is that they…

EP 26 Album Cover

Welcome back to the Onion Juice Podcast.  My name is Neil Mathweg and I’m the host of the show and your fellow entrepreneur in the real estate business. On this episode I’m answering a question that someone posed to me about what I would do if I was starting all over in a brand new city. Man, that is a great question and one I could write an entire book about. But I’m going to spare you the book and gave you most of what I think in a nutshell, on this episode.   I don’t believe in “Fake it ‘till you make it.”   We’ve all been there. In fact, we’ve all done it. Me included. You’re asked how long you been in the industry, and the truth is that your brand-new. But because it feels like you won’t be taken seriously, you make something up, you avoid the question, you don’t answer directly….

StorySelling is the Best Way for Realtors to Market on Social Media – Episode 25

Ep 25 Album cover

Social media has come along, and Realtors are not so good at using it. Yeah, you can blast more people with your pushy sales messages, but are you getting customers from it? Probably not. Why? Because you’re not storyselling. You’re pushing your stuff on people who don’t want to hear it. Social media is NOT the place to blast people with market reports or inventory. It’s where people go to relax or be entertained. So how do you use social media in a way that actually engages with people on those levels? By storyselling. Find out how on this episode of Onion Juice.   Why I believe that storyselling is the only way for Realtors to market on social media.   The fact is that you DO have inventory to promote. You do have expertise and knowledge about things people need. But you can’t go onto social media and do those things. You have to…
