In today's minute to win it, I am officially telling you to STOP NETWORKING AND START CONNECTING! This has become a personal mantra of mine because throughout my time as an entrepreneur, and yes I have been guilty of this myself, I have seen time and again people networking with one goal in mind, finding people to give them their hard earned money! Guess what? That strategy is so transparent you could frame it and use it to keep the wind out of your house! I literally get turned off by person after person starting a conversation with me only to drop in, by the way.... Stop doing it! It doesn't work! The way forward? Building connections. Offering value first. Focusing on relationships rather than transactions. I may harp on about this a lot but that's because I believe this is the way business gets done! As I've quoted before, nobody likes being sold to but people LOVE shopping with friends! See you on the next one! #entrepreneur #PersonalGrowth #personaldevelopment #inspiration #empowerment #business #success #smallbusiness #businessowner #motivation #win #monday #mondaymotivation #relationships

Becoming an Attraction Agent (And how authenticity makes it work for you.) Most agents chase business like chickens with their heads cut off. Running around. Feeling desperate. Fighting off “commission breath.” What if, instead, business came to you? Imagine this: 👉 Opportunities landing in your inbox. 👉 Prospects calling you. 👉 Clients reaching out, ready to work. This is the life of an attraction agent. It’s not magic—it’s about building a personal brand rooted in authenticity. But here’s the hard part: being yourself. So many of us struggle to digest this simple truth: ✨ Your uniqueness is what attracts the right clients. ✨ The key isn’t in what you do but who you are. When you show up as your authentic self, your ideal clients will find you. Let’s stop chasing and start attracting. Ready to try it? #realestate #entrepreneur #business

Day in Day out, the focus should be on Sales in your Business. If your mind is not on Sales, it won’t come. It is as simple and easy as this. If you won’t focus your attention on it, it does not happen. I can’t say this enough and I know first hand what happens if you don’t focus on the most important things in your business. Sales will drop. In February I got myself sidetracked with a bunch of HOA drama. It sucked the energy and the life out of me and our sales dropped. In March me and my wife focused all our efforts back on the topline of our business and we had our biggest month since December 2022. Here is my quick 2 cents for your business today: Drop all distractions, focus on sales and you will thrive. Now. If you want support with this in your business, DM me now. I know what it takes and I love helping you get there as well. #entrepreneurs #coaches #entrepreneurship #growth #5figuremonths #strategy #systems #businesswealthmastery #wealthcreation #money

Want to make more money and have more ease in your business? Most successful entrepreneurs don’t believe they can take time out of their work day to do the things they want to do without missing out on opportunities for more sales. But what if taking time out to do the things you want to do that are aligned with your business actually create greater opportunities. I know it can be hard to believe… But aligned action creates more ease and more opportunities for more sales. Like our client Debbie, who was concerned about taking 2 hours to have a catch up brunch with a former client for fear she’d miss a sale or other opportunity. But she learned how to discern whether something was in alignment with her and her business so she went to brunch anyway. She had a relaxing time with her former client and on her way back to her office, she caught sight of a perfect opportunity for her business. When she went in to explore the possibility, she was told they were looking for another proposal. She submitted the proposal. Boom! Aligned action creates ease and even more sales, allowing you to have the time to do the things you want to do… And make even more money. If you want to be able to add $30k-$50k a month while creating more ease in your business … I’ve opened a few spots. Comment “More EASE” and I’ll send you the details. #BestAdvice #success #businesscoach #entrepreneur #businessowner

So many businesses and entrepreneurs play NOT TO LOSE instead of PLAYING TO WIN. If you can identify which game you’re playing you can change the course of your business moving forward. Very importantly is don’t play to beat the competition. Trying to be better than everyone else doesn’t work. If you’re looking at everyone else then you’re not on the most efficient path to success. I’ve set my business up in a way to where if you think you’re competing with me, then you’re delusional. Because I don’t see you as competition, but you see me as competition. I don’t see another person who writes books as my competition. I don’t see another person who invests in businesses as my competition. I don’t see another person who does public speaking events as my competition. I don’t have any competition. Because the only human being in the history of the entire world who’s had all of my experiences and the insights those experiences have provided, IS ME. So how can I possibly have competition? I can always find someone stronger than me, better looking, smarter, but what does that matter? If they’re stronger, smarter, better looking, and know things I don’t know, they still can’t fulfill who I am and who I was created to be. So therefore I’m irreplaceable in human history and SO ARE YOU. My business is bigger than some people’s business. My business is smaller than some people’s business. But guess what? It doesn’t matter. Stop looking around to see how good you’re doing. You want to see how good you’re doing? Look inside yourself. KNOW WHO YOU ARE SO MUCH THAT YOU DONT NEED ANYONE ELSE TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE IN ORDER FOR YOU TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE. The game you should be playing is GROWTH. How can you ever lose if every experience and opportunity is helping you grow? #growth #competition #business #entrepreneur

Fear of Losing Can Make You Lose: Choose Your Clients Wisely In business, it's easy to feel the pressure to accept every opportunity that comes your way. Fear of missing out or losing a potential deal can lead to compromises that, in the long run, hurt more than help. But here's the truth: not every client is the right client. When you operate from a place of fear, you risk undervaluing your work, overcommitting, or partnering with those who don't align with your vision or values. Success isn’t just about landing clients—it's about landing the right clients. The ones who respect your expertise, see your value, and are a genuine fit for your services. Take the time to choose wisely, and you'll build stronger, more fruitful relationships that lead to sustainable growth. Remember, saying no to the wrong client opens the door to saying yes to the right one. #business #entrepreneur

How do you intend to make money over the next six months? This question lingered in my mind as I stared at the blank sheet and the pen lying beautifully in my bed. I picked up the bed and bit the tip hoping the idea would come but it did not. This was a wrong idea. ‘How do you intend to sell your bags when you have no sales plan?’ The little voice whispered to me. I chided my fast-forward self. Imagine starting a business without any sales plan. What was I expecting? Just like me, some entrepreneurs make the mistake of launching their product without any sales plan. At the end of the day, after friends and family stop buying, they become confused. If you belong here, get a notepad and write your one week sales plan. This way you can gain clarity on what to do and how to begin. PS: Do you have a sales plan? If not, would you be writing one today? PSS: What advice can you give to an entrepreneur on setting a sales plan? Kindly repost ♻️ for others to see. #sales #salesstrategy #businesswriting #entrepreneur
