As you look ahead to growing or evolving your own team, it’s useful to have a benchmark in terms of numbers and expectations so you can not only avoid common pitfalls, but also push your team to achieve to its fullest potential.

You may have heard me talk about the Universal Business Principle that ‘trying to be all things to all people dilutes your effectiveness’. I don’t think this can be over stated, nor can it not be talked about enough. I teach, and communicate regularly with, many of the top real estate agents in North America. One thing I’ve noticed among these pros is that they live, eat and sleep this hard and fast principle. Let’s take a quick look at its application in a couple of different areas....

On previous posts and webinars, I’ve outlined the basics of running my FSBO program. I thought I’d share a little Q&A about this program from other members as my answers to the questions asked should be useful to those of you who would like to run this powerful program in your marketplace.

Following is a summary of some excellent questions about working with Buyers from Quantum Leap Coaching Members over the last few years. You'll learn a lot from considering both question and answer. Q: We get some buyers who indicate that they never sign anything without taking it home and looking it over. The problem from there is downhill.

Michael Gerber once said: "Becoming an expert at what you do is NOT the path to freedom. The path to freedom is becoming an expert at the things you don't do." There is much hidden wisdom in this statement.

One of my coaches was talking with a member the other day and he was having one of those days. You know, the kind of day when you're feeling down and out, too much to get done and not enough time to get it done.
