What challenges do real estate agents face?
So many agents get caught on the commission hamster wheel, right? Where it's like they make a bunch of money and they don't do any work and then, yay, I'm rich, I'm rich. No, I'm broke, I'm broke, I'm broke, I'm broke. It's the rollercoaster up and down.
How can you achieve a steady stream of income in real estate?
And if you can just work consistently in the business and put forth the right effort and the right amount of effort compared to what the market is doing in your KPIs balance, well, now you have a steady stream of income. And then you can turn those commissions instead of the end goal into the fuel that really fires the rocket ship. from the podcast that gets you from where you are to where you want to be escaping the drift this is the weekly drop with john gafford no matter what platform you're watching or listening to us on make sure you like subscribe and comment and now the drop welcome back to the program everybody this is the weekly drop this is normally my little solo pod that i do on thursdays
And this week, man, I'm doing it with somebody. I got a guest on the weekly drop. So I'm not doing a full escaping the drift. We're not going to go for 40 minutes. This is still going to be like 15 minutes. But there's something that I want to talk about that this dude is kind of the walking, talking example of this. And I wanted to bring him in. And if you're somebody that finds yourself burning the candle at both ends, you've got all kinds of things that you do, all kinds of stuff. There's an exercise that I do once a year, and I just went through this, and I didn't really sleep last night, not because I was still doing the exercise, just because when I get done doing this, it's such an introspect at your life, and it's such a way that you're forced to go deep
on looking at the things that you choose to do and whether or not they continue to serve you in the best possible way. And sometimes that requires some very tough choices and some choices that are still out there.
What important life choices should you evaluate?
For me, I ran numbers like crazy all day yesterday looking at the expenses I have in things, looking at return on time, how much time I spend on things, and whether or not those things serve me or continue to serve me. And this goes from I mean, you know, angles in my business. It goes from overall businesses that we spun up, auxiliaries that we spun up around the company. It's this podcast. It's relationships with groups I go to. It's all types of different things. And if you are somebody that just kind of says yes to everything, which I like to say yes, I'm easily excitable. Man, that sounds a good idea. Let's do that. I definitely feel like I'm smarter than everybody else, unfortunately. So when I hear somebody being highly successful at something, I'm like, if that dude can do it, I know I can do it. I know I can. And like I said, we're going to get a little more into my personal journey on it. But welcome to the program, ladies and gentlemen. This is one of the guys that works at our company, and he is one of my aces. This is Jason Griggs. Jason.
Round two.
Round two, buddy. You've been on here before. And again, I grabbed you with this. Um, I'm going to, I'm going to get to your story a little bit before I get to mine, but when we met, right, we met and you were essentially, I sent out an email, um, Actually, no. I got on Facebook because I walked in my son's room one night and he was watching lacrosse, like college lacrosse. And I'm like, what are you watching? And he goes, I'm watching lacrosse. And I go, and he just randomly found it on a channel. And he goes, I think I want to play this. And I said, okay, cool. I've never played lacrosse. I'm from Florida, dude. We just... play football baseball you know basketball like america we don't play these furniture sport yeah whatever it is so they do now obviously but back then i never played lacrosse so you know i get on i get on the interwebs and hey who do i know that could tell me anything about lacrosse And Jason hit me right up.
