Austin Cheviron and Nate Cheviron are two cousins who run Cheviron Coaching. The real estate business can be grueling, and what’s more, it’s constantly full of rejections and almost-got-it situations which can lead even those who are financially successful to end up burnt out, abusing substances, neglecting their families, and in terrible health. The Cheviron Group set out to be a complete coaching service to give real estate agents the tools they need to be both financially successful and mentally and physically healthy. 

A mentor can make the difference. Information is out there. But the feedback of a mentor who has your best interest at heart is not easy to find. If you have a “Mr. Miyagi” to guide you down the right path, it’s much easier to keep from losing sight of your real goal, which is to live a happy and fulfilling life, not just to pad your bank account.

The ideal client is someone who doesn’t need motivation, but needs guidance. As Nate and Austin put it, they can steer you in the right direction, but they can’t move for you. The ideal agent is able to move themselves.

The lessons they teach are timeless. Many of these lessons come from their own grandmother, Grandma Clem, who managed, in the magic way that grandmothers do, to corral the entire family to come to a weekly dinner, and share the workload to make sure everyone left well-nourished, both physically and emotionally. 

But to really understand how timeless their wisdom is, you have to go back… way back, to antiquity. Austin’s favorite book is The Richest Man in Babylon, by George Clason. The book, written in 1926, shares the lessons of the ancient Babylonians, who were successful merchants 4,000 years ago, and built up wealth through trade rather than conquest. Nate’s favorite book is is Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (Gregory Hays translation). Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor, was a stoic philosopher, who believed the path to happiness was to live a virtuous life in harmony with nature.
