Dude. It's just playing. And the dog is like, everything in my life is everything I've ever known, and I'm good. The dog just doesn't know. I'm not comparing people to dogs, but it's like, man, why do I need to do the things that I do

I reset the level of importance with every like growth hurdle. So in 2019, before we started our company, in the world of real estate salespeople, I was a 10. And where do you go from there? You don't rebuild a chart. That's stupid. So I took myself down to a one and said, now I'm going to go be a CEO. Because I did it. I did the real estate brokerage thing. I sold the most expensive properties.

I did them in all the markets. You're on TV. So I'm going to go do it again. I'm gonna leave Million Dollar List in New York, this reality TV show that gave me a career. I have education. I'm gonna go try to build my own company. And if it works, great. If it doesn't work, I guess I go back to doing what I was doing anyway. But what's the worst that can happen?

Unless you die or go to jail, like those are the two worst things that can happen. Anything else, you're just not taking the right swing. Yeah, that was five years ago. Yeah, with 2019, I made that decision.

So then in 2020, September 2020, we went off on our own and we started our own thing with a couple of us and like a rented townhouse in the city with SWAT outside and windows boarded up and masks and no vaccine, the whole nine yards. We're like, as long as we just go hard every day and we take it one day at a time, it's all gonna work.

If I think too much about all the things, it'll never work because I'll have analysis paralysis and I'll let perfect become the enemy of good. I just need to be as good as impossible so I can get to great, you know, and I can go from good to great.

I think if I've able to build, if I've been able to build from scratch, the new definition of real estate brokerage on a global scale, which is really what we're doing. Plus really use simple to redefine sales workflow automations for all salespeople, not just real estate agents. Then I'll come back and do this podcast and say 10. It's gonna take me a minute though.

Yeah, my mother-in-law lives with us. My sister-in-law lives with us. Her husband lives with us. We have one big Greek household and then there's me. And I just like, yeah, I come home and I'm like, how's everyone doing?
