You're way better than this.
We had a guy that... It wasn't working out right for the franchise. It wasn't working out right. I had to deliver the hard message and I had to call him out. And it was a heated up conversation. I had to call him out. And then at the end, a phone call came in directly from this individual saying, I am so sorry. You're absolutely right. I'm so sorry. I should have never said that.
But they know I love them, even though it wasn't working out and it wasn't the greatest situation. They know I love them. They know I love them dearly.
That's exactly right.
That's exactly right. Right? That's exactly right.
Great principles come from Robin Sharma. So if you love anything Robin Sharma, like he's my favorite. So he has the 5am club that breaks down in like a fake story principles. But then he has his eight forms of wealth. which is unreal. And then he has, um, Oh, what is his other one? Well, just go look him. He has another one. Robin Sharma. His books are my favorite. The other one I love.
I love all of Jim Rohn's books. Uh, what's the one we give out to our group? Leading an inspired life, leading an inspired life. It's so easy. His books are great because when he writes them, it's a principle. It's one, two, three pages and it's over. I hate personally, at least my mind. I don't know how your mind works. My brain needs to finish like the chat.
I hate mid chapter or I forget what the beginning chapter is about. That's right. So I, and I hate when people are like, I have this chapter and it's 20 pages. I, I hate those books. So this is bite-sized, so you can sit there, read it, and then just stew on it and journal about it, whatever it is, and then the next day I do another one. John Maxwell, all of his books. He's the greatest.
That guy is the OG. That guy is the original when it comes to leadership. He has over 80 books now. He's actually mentored me and Mark, an incredible human being.
Is that the question?
So with Joe Homebuyer, I would say many that feel stuck, that can't break the ceiling, it's because of that solopreneur, right? Yep. That's when you get the fizzle, the sizzle where everyone's like, I'm burning out. It's now that passion is in alignment with the work they're doing anymore. Like there's a misalignment. So now they're getting burnt out.
They're wearing way too many hats, which means think of all the things when it comes to your business. acquisitions, dispositions, marketing, like just think of just those top three, maybe. Yeah. Do you love doing all three of those? No, either do I, right? I love sales. I really, I love acquisitions. Yeah, I love acquisitions.
So yes, because if I'm an owner, I'm going to do enough work on all of it because it's like, it's my baby, it's my business. But there's going to be a point where you're in a, you're not in alignment with your natural gifts, your natural strengths, your natural passions. And when you keep doing that work, marketing, dispositions. Yeah.
You do it long enough, pretty soon you're going to be like, I haven't broke the ceiling. I haven't figured it out. I'm done. I'm just going to cash in my chips and go back to a safe job or whatever it is. And many do that. And so, yes, they come to us for that. And I would say the biggest challenge is most people don't know how to find great talent. That's a huge challenge.
Keep talent and how to lead talent. So a lot of people think delegation. I was guilty of this. This is why I say with a smile on my face because I was bad at it. I would just delegate and delegate I thought was just push it on their desk and they got to get it done and report back on Friday. Worst case is I never even asked them to report back on Friday. There was no accountability.
There was nothing. And so there was this abdication I think is the word that I'm looking for versus delegation. It was just like forget it and set it and forget it and don't check in on them ever again. True delegation really is elevation with that accountability where you're helping them rise to the top and become a leader. You want to be replaceable.
You want people in your organization to care about your business more than you do. True story. This was cool. I was flying to Puerto Rico. I was speaking at Jerry Norton's event. Jerry Norton happens to be, he has about six active franchises with us. He bought 10 of them. He has six of them active with us.
So he flies us out there to go speak to his group of students that were at Fast Track. And then some of those students are now interested in looking into Joe Homebuyer. But we were there to just do value, just to have fun. Yeah. I fly into New York. And then while I'm in New York, I get on the plane. I get upgraded to first class.
And I'm like, score, like dinner and all that, even though it's not the greatest meal. Yeah. But I'm like, great. This will be fantastic. Because I didn't have time to like get a meal in between because it was like, get off the plane, get on the plane. And I was back on to go to Puerto Rico. This pilot comes out, Captain Dan Wines. I'll never forget Captain Dan Wines.
Captain Dan Wines steps out and he walks out to the first class and he shakes everyone's hand, thanking everyone personally, shaking their hand. And I'm like, this guy's legit. I want to take a page from this guy's book. He goes back to Comfort Plus and says, folks in Comfort Plus, thank you for being here.
