My mind has been very active the last few days in thought about the new year. A new year is one of the great gifts God gives us. It is a chance to wipe the slate clean and set out about the business of doing what we set out to do.
My thoughts have been fueled by reading Dave Ramsey’s “EntreLeadership” and identified strongly with some points he makes:To be a dreamer is a great thing but is a negative without action. The next step of dreaming is having vision. Having vision is to incorporate actions with your dreams. He had a great analogy, he says that doing what you do without a Mission Statement is like arriving at the top of the ladder of success to realize the ladder was propted up on the wrong building!
What does it mean to be visionary, a goal setter/ achiever, a leader? It means you took a dream, and put it in action by establishing goals and acting on them. Small attainable steps are taken to reach pinnacles within a goal until the big vision, which started as a dream, is realized.
Use this new year to your advantage. Throw out last years trash and stop holding on to stuff that is keeping you from moving forward. Plot your course by setting clearly defined goals. If you are someone in need of direction on this, consult your local guru, or contact me.
You can reach new heights, you can find financial and emotional freedom. Doing it, and how you do it, is up to you. no one can carry this cross for you… it is yours to bear. But, if you own this task and set it into action, your dreams will become vision which will offer you a new found confidence and freedom that is worth every bit of effort you put into it.
Dream today, put your dreams into action tomorrow, and reap the rewards all year long!

The more I coach my children’s youth teams, the more I discover that life is simply coaching different types of people in all kinds of situations. You don’t have to have a whistle around your neck and clipboard in hand to assume the role of a coach.
Another truth to understand about coaching is that coaching principles and concepts are no different when coaching a sales team than they are when coaching a ball team. You always start with the most simple, foundational parts of what you are teaching and build off that. You daily focus on improving on the area(s) deficiencies are found in.
As a parent, you are a coach, as a husband or wife, you are a coach. As a leader of a class, a social group, a cub scout pack, etc… you are a coach. Coaching isn’t a method of pushing someone into doing something they don’t want to do. It is a way of leading , guiding, and pulling someone into and through something they DO want to do.
So, yes, we are all coaches in some form or fashion.
But, when WE are busy coaching…. who do we turn to so we can be coached? Everyone needs a guru. Someone they respect, that can guide them into battle. Find your coach in life. That is as important as being an effective coach for those that look to you for leadership.
After all, complacency is the beginning of the end… isn’t it?

What does Red Realty need to do to Build a performance culture? First, we need to be humble and teachable. Second, everyone has to “buy in” to the big picture.
We know we have the right people on our bus. We are prepared to play at a new level. We have the right “tools”. We are setting our schedule to win championships, not just wins.
Are you/ we humble and teachable? Do you/ we all believe that Red is the best company and are you/ we willing to do the things we need to do to prove that in our market? Ask yourself if you REALLY want a better life for your family that an income increase can provide. If you do, follow the plan that Coach will lay out for you in December and see the results.
You know the saying we use…. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink? It is the same as Coaches’ saying “You can’t give life support to someone who doesn’t want to live”. Do you want to “live”… just survive, or really live!?
Be proactive, not reactive. Don’t wait for it to come to you… make it come to you! Always ask yourself if what you are doing right now is the best use of your time. Kill the “something is due to me attitude”. Break the norm and eliminate things in your life that keep you sidetracked from the most important things to you.
What area(s) do you need to improve on to go to the next level? Do you have the likeability Factor? Do others feel good about themselves when they are around you? Are you humble or are you a contrarian (you have done that and done it better than they did… always one upping what they say). Are you a “go-giver” as well as a go-getter? Do you help others achieve what they want/ need?
Finally, Remember that the only lasting form of discipline is self discipline and a person can be inspired but not motivated. Let’s all be BOTH!!

I normally blog about career opportunities in Real Esatte or about Red Realty’s business model. But interest rates have reached a point that I can no longer not write about!
A mortgage lender told me yesterday that he locked a 30 yr, FHA mortgage at 3.875 and a 20 yr at 3.375 fixed! After 20 years in the business, I believe I have seen enough to be qualified to make this statement: Interest rates are incredible low!!! If you are even considering buying, you should be on the phone with a mortgeg lender now!
I believe people tend to be afraid to pull the trigger. They don’t want to buy too soon for fear that the rates will go even lower. That is a fools way of thinking when rates are this low. Don’t let your self lose due to indecision. The time is right and market conditions favor buyers.
In most cases there are other incentives such as seller paid closing costs and the like. Couple that will First Time Buyer funds, VA funds, Rural Housing funds, etc, and you have a receipe for success.
Contact your Red Realty agent today and let them show you how to get into a home with the least amount of money from your own pocket and the best possible payments. Your family deserves it! Call 615-220-2733 or 615-896-2733 today.

As a company owner, my mind takes me to thoughts of growth and ways to increase our market share. In doing so, I am always reminded that a leaders job is to always to be a catalyst for change. In doing so, we create energy, synergy, attention, and results. It’s hard to be complacent if your mind and body are moving!
In my blog, I write to those who are looking for a career change, a change in attitude, a company change and the like. As I write, I think to myself… I wonder how much leadership happens in other companies? How much time do they spend “executing”?
You see, that is the “race” in the real estate business. The team that executes well, is the team that leads the race and all others chase. Just like in a bike race, the Peleton hangs together at the front of the pack, until the leaders emerge and set a whole new pace. Those who aren’t strong enough find themselves physically and emotionally exhausted and ultimately failing.
Red Realty exceeds in this area. We have built a positive thinking family of Realtors who understand the need to be creative and maintain constant evolution. Our market changes daily and we embrace it! Can your company say the same? Does it’s leadership take pride in finding “new cheese”?
Call Red Realty for a confidential interview if you are interested in changing too! 615-220-2733 0r 615-896-2733

I was asked, just this morning, if a Realtor can still make a living in the real estate business. The answer is simply YES! This is where the order takers are separated from the workers though. Our market requires you to take your business seriously and strive harder to excel with customer service. Those willing to work and seek business, will find it. You have to diversify, get out of your comfort zone, and learn new things.
If you are in the industry today, you must have handled your business well. You have cut living and business expenses, you have stremlined your systems, you have furthered your education, and you have applied yourself to your trade. Congratulations to you. Now let’s look at what this will mean to you when the market turns.
In the heat of the upswing, our association had 3000 members. Today we are around 1200. That is a 60% reduction in the number of agents over the last few years. If business gets back to a level that is 50% of what it was when the market went south, we should all make great money again since less than half amount of agents will be doing the amount of work previously done by over twice the amount of agents.
Position yourself now to take part in the upswing! If you are with a company that hasn’t positioned itself to be a leader when the market shifts again, consider Red Realty to lead you into a changing market. Call today for a confidential interview. 615-625-7101 direct.

Realtors spend a lot of time working on systems. What do I mean by systems? I mean, any procedural way an agent uses to process their prospects, market a listing, manage datbases, etc. Systems simpyfy how we manage time and make us more efficient.
Red Realty can make you more successful by giving you proven systems to better serve your clients and better provide for your family. Does your company offer training that shows you how to get off the ground immediately or do they provide you with a phone and encourage you to “go to work”? Our training system is second to none and will have you off the ground now rather than later. If your family depends on your income, you owe it to yourself to join Red Realty and learn the Red Realty way.
Need help getting licensed? Want a new career or a change? Red Realty can help. Give me a call for a confidential interview today!
