The Importance of Giving 100% in Everything You Do

Phil Hahn is a shining example of just what happens when you put 100% into what you do. His success is the result of going all in rather than just doing what’s expected. Hahn pushes what’s possible when it comes to customer service and when it comes to advertising, marketing, and branding yourself, and that’s why he’s not only the top 1%, he’s the top 1 in real estate. He’s not just the best, he’s the best of the best. 

Before he earned his real estate license, he worked a blue collar job as a cement finisher/paver. He worked so hard that he lost 30 pounds in 3 months sweating his socks off. When he first started in real estate, in 2002, he set the very high bar of selling 100 houses between April and December. He reached this goal by engaging with the community, literally going door to door and using the technique of collecting food for the local food bank to get his foot in the door. He reached his goal and set his goal in 2003 to sell 200 houses!

To reach this goal, which was so audacious that his own broker thought it was too much, he started listing so aggressively that the other real estate agents in his office didn’t like it. Then he wrapped his large SUV with his name on it and parked in front of the office. And he was told not to park there because people thought he owned the office! A short time later, he moved on to another broker.

Phil was just getting started. From there, he used the same techniques that made him successful at a local level and expanded to a larger and larger radius until he was the number one real estate broker in Vancouver, then the number one real estate broker in the entire country of Canada. This is the result of hard work and dedication, in combination with creativity and audacity.

Micah and Hamudi Mruwat founded the Mruwat Enterprises Organization. Recently, they made the decision to rebrand as The Legacy Builders. They came to this decision because they realized that to be successful, you have to be beyond thinking about yourself and think about all the people around you, be they your peers or the people that come after you. In order to have financial success and create generational wealth, you have to build a legacy.

Set Goals

Many people set either personal or professional goals, but few people make both. Even fewer take the time to ensure that the two are in alignment with each other.

Respect Each Other

In any business or personal relationship, you have to respect each other. This is not just a question of good manners, it means respecting someone’s strengths and weaknesses, and letting them do what they do best in service of your goals. 

Be Okay With Where You Are

As entrepreneurs, it’s easy to get caught up in the feeling of wanting more. In sales, you want to meet your quotas and blow past them. But in order to build a legacy, you have to accept that you are where you are in life, and you can’t skip any steps. You have to build on what you have, it’s impossible to build on what you don’t have. Take the time to enjoy the moment and appreciate how far you’ve come. 

Align Yourself With the Right People to Push You to the Next Level

Find people who have the same mindset that you do, or that you want to have. When you have a contact list full of people who won’t let you play small, you have little choice but to think big and act big. 

Take Massive Action

The way to grow your business is to take massive action, especially at a time when most people are afraid to act. The market is more chaotic than it’s been in more than a decade, and many entrepreneurs will be too timid to take the bold steps necessary to grow their business. This market will be where you create your legacy by taking advantage of opportunities that most people won’t take.

Reevaluate Your Goals Constantly

It’s not enough to set goals, you must also track your progress towards those goals. If you aren’t making progress, is it because you aren’t being effective, or because the goals are no longer worth pursuing? Micah and Hamudi reevaluate their goals every day, and that is a big reason for their success.

Watch my interview with them to learn the secrets to building not just a successful business, but a successful legacy. You’ll learn who influenced them, their biggest lessons in life, the unusual way they track their goals, and how they integrate their marriage into their business.

How to Change What’s Possible with Austin Allison

Austin Allison, the founder of Pacaso, and CEO of dotloop, is no stranger to disruption. He got his start in real estate selling to make extra money through college and law school, and then left law to found dotloop, a software company that catered to the real estate market. The company was so successful that Zillow Group bought it after 6 years, and he stayed on working for Zillow for 3 more years.  He later joined a friend he met at Zillow to form Pacaso.

Pacaso, named after the artist Picasso, was another disruptive company. After he and his wife bought a second home, they realized that there was an unserved market for second homes, as most people can’t afford a second home, and those who do leave their home empty for months at a time. Pacaso solved this problem by bringing together co-owners in a property.

How do you become a disruptor? What does it mean to disrupt? Steve Jobs was a big influence on Austin Allison. Steve Jobs was a disrupter because he realized that the word “normal” is just an agreement. The world is the way it is because people made it that way, and people who have the courage to “Think Different” can change the world. You can choose to believe that the world is the way it is just because it is, or that the world is the way it is because no one has come up with a way to change the world yet. 

If you come up with a vision, and stay true to that vision even as you adapt to changes, and do the hard work, you can disrupt the world.

Grant and Elena Cardone Think Big

Grant and Elena Cardone built an empire, primarily in real estate, but also in several other business ventures, including writing books and teaching personal development. When the economy collapsed in 2008, he had a revelation: Banks were too big to fail. He had been successful in real estate, and he made prudent investments, yet he was dragged down by the economy. What if he could be too big to fail? 

From that moment on Grant and Elena committed themselves to being the king and queen, respectively, of an empire. Grant created the 10x movement, and grew his business until he had seven businesses making nearly $100 million in sales per year. 

How did they do it?

By thinking big and acting big.

It takes many to build an empire

You don’t have to be the strong, powerful, independent person who never depends on your spouse. Find someone you trust and build an empire with them. To be a power couple, you have to trust that your partner can stand beside you in all things. Each of you has strengths and weaknesses, and the two of you can make a powerful team by complimenting each other.

If you think small, you will act small

We have outdated frameworks for what is considered successful, and what was considered normal in the 1960s is long gone, yet the frameworks remain. It’s not enough today to own a house for your family, you either think really big, or you barely scrape by, and there is rarely an in-between. The biggest mistake that Grant has made, according to him, is that for his entire life, he’s thought too small.

Get good at what you don’t like to do

The biggest payoffs for Grant have been after doing what he hated to do the most. Everybody wants to be successful at what they enjoy, but to really make it big, you have to get good at what you don’t like to do. Grant is known as one of the world’s best salesmen, but believe it or not, he never liked to do sales, but he just kept at it until he was one of the best in the world.

If you follow the principles that Grant Cardone teaches in his 10x program, you can learn to breakthrough old habits and patterns that haven’t worked for a decades and become not just modestly successful, but a huge success.
