Using Social Media to Your Advantage with Levi Lascsak

On this episode, live from NAR, I interview Levi Lofton. Lofton is a social media superstar. And he approached social media success the way he approached many things in his life: through “hyperlearning.” Hyperlearning, which may be a term he coined, involves studying as much as you can about a subject in 60 days and then executing on what you learn. Here is how to learn in 60 days.

Immerse yourself 

Thanks to YouTube, Skill Share, or even your local public library, you can learn how to do anything. Whether you want to change a light bulb or learn particle physics, there are books and videos that will help you learn the basics.. Yes, it can take years of practice to achieve mastery, but learning the basics of anything no longer takes enrolling in expensive schools that take years. Completely immerse yourself in a topic for 60 days.

Pick 1 topic

Traditional 4-year schools give you a well-rounded education. If you want to learn as much as possible in 60 days, have tunnel vision on the one topic. Don’t try to learn everything about everything, try to learn everything about one thing. The other subjects can come later.

Model success

Levi modeled success by finding people who are successful and doing what they did, with some minor tweaking for his goals and his personality. The “how” of success will always change, but the “who” is what matters. Find out who has done what you want to achieve, and then model their behavior. If you want to build a better mousetrap, be as persistent as Thomas Edison when he invented the light bulb.

Be yourself (in the future!)

Who would you be if you achieved success? What decision would you make? How would you approach a situation? What would your emotional state be when you made decisions? Would you rush or think things through? What would the wisest and most experienced version of yourself do in your situation? Do that today.

You can achieve far more than you realize is possible because you’re unknowingly repeating patterns and sticking to invisible scripts that were designed 100 years ago. Break out of the old patterns and embrace the future.

Connecting with Customers by Air and Land with Mathieu Arseneault

Movie star good looks. A sexy French accent. A helicopter pilot’s license. If only we could all be as blessed as Matthieu Arseneault. Matthieu has innovated a new way to sell high end real estate by taking his clients with him on a helicopter ride, giving potential buyers a literal birds-eye-view of the property ad surrounding neighborhood.

How do you connect with people like that? By listening and then working hard.

That’s all it takes, really. Listen to the needs of the people. Don’t be afraid to give unique and different answers, but always listen to their needs. 

Then, it takes consistent hard work. You don’t learn to pilot a helicopter in one day, and you don’t become a real estate great in one day. It takes day after day of hard work, of overcoming rejections, and learning from your mistakes. But if you show up day after day, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have movie star good looks, you can’t help but be successful. Watch this interview to see how he integrated his two interests and became such a unique voice in real estate.

Dean Graziosi: Learning From The Past, Preparing For The Future

Today, my guest is Dean Graziosi, a multiple New York Times best-selling author, entrepreneur, and investor. Dan was able to change the trajectory of his life at an early age by making the decision to not become a blue-collar worker and become an entrepreneur. He had to change his thinking in order to change his career. Here are some of the ways he has learned to flip the script:

Replace “how” with “who.”

In life, when you want to get to the next level, your brain’s default question is “how.” How do I do this? How do I achieve my goal? And that can be completely overwhelming. But instead ask this question: Who has already done it and is willing to share what they did? There are very few truly original problems and solutions out there. If you can find it (and it’s not that difficult), you can find an expert who has a book, a podcast, a video series, or even is willing to mentor you personally. Find who has accomplished what you want to do and be like them.

Replace a to-do list with a not-to-do list.

Every entrepreneur has a ton on their plate. They have to do so many things. But if you take the time to audit what you have to do, you may realize that you’re doing things that you don’t need to do. This can even be things that you used to need to do, but now no longer serve you. To manage your time effectively, create a not-to-do list so you can focus on what you do best. 

Focus on impact, not income

Is there any better feeling than helping others? I’ve asked thousands of people this question: at the end of your life, if you could only choose to have an impact on other people or have lots of money, which would you choose? The answer is overwhelmingly impact. If you focus on impact, having a high income can be a byproduct of giving that value to people. So don’t put your focus on how you make money, focus on how you make an impact and the money may come. And even if it doesn’t, the impact you make will be more important. 

If you flip the script in life, you will be able to do so much more than people who just do what they’ve been doing their entire lives. We have invisible scripts in life, and most people don’t even realize it. When you make the shift from going along with life to taking control of your life, you can make the impact that you want.

How to Live Like a Culhane

The Glenn Effect With Brian Culhane

Glenn Sanford is the founder of eXp Realty. This is important to know because he is a mentor to my guest, Brain Culhane, and many of the lessons that we can learn from Brian come directly from Glenn. Glenn is such an effective leader and innovator that I call other people using his lessons “the Glenn Effect.”

Here are some of the lessons passed down from Glenn that Brian uses every day, and you can to:

Develop your personal brand

The biggest lesson Glenn taught Brian was to develop your personal brand. He said, “Every real estate agent should start a brand and call themselves the CEO of their brand on day one.” Glenn put himself as the CEO of eXp Realty when it was just him in an office. That branding made eXp seem so much bigger than it was, and now, it is the top real estate company in the world. And so Brian did the same: He is the CEO of the Culhane Group, and has been since day one.

Be innovative and embrace change

Brian started working with Glenn in 2005. At the time, there were no ready-to-go website template companies like SquareSpace, and making a website was a laborious task. But if you were willing to put in the effort (or pay someone to do it) and make interesting content, you could stand out in the days before people mindlessly doomscrolled their phones. Glenn had the first mover advantage when it came to selling real estate online. When Brian first got his real estate license, the first thing Glenn told him to do was go out and take pictures using digital cameras which were cutting edge at the time, and take pictures of houses he wanted to sell. Brian was able to close his first real estate deal this way. 

Don’t be afraid of success

Most people are afraid of success, even though they aren’t aware that they are. They unconsciously sabotage themselves because they have hidden scripts in their lives that money is evil or maybe they don’t deserve to be successful. Get out of your own way, stop self-sabotaging, take control of your mind and direct it towards whatever ends you desire. 

Instead of unconsciously sabotaging yourself, take ownership of your own mind be conscious about your actions. 

On this episode, you’ll hear what Brian learned from Glenn and from other mentors, how to grow a brand, and how to set audacious goals and achieve them. This is just the beginning for Brian, and you can hear how he’s doing it.
