Today’s guest on the Michael Valdes Global Podcast is Dustin Brohm. Dustin is the host of the Massive Agent Podcast for Realtors, a social media coach, and a top agent at eXp Realty. He got his start in real estate after reading Robert Kiyosaki’s famous book, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad.”

This inspired him to get into flipping houses, which turned out to not be a quick and easy path to wealth. He realized that getting his own real estate license would help him take more ownership of the process and a larger cut of the profits. From there, he took an interest in social media and learned how to use it to attract more customers to him, rather than go out and try to chase down customers.

This led to him mentoring others and beginning a coaching business. He’s just now hitting the gas pedal after more than a decade of figuring out how to drive. Click here to watch this video to hear how he’s doing it.

On this episode of the Michael Valdes Global Podcast, I interviewed Rob Flick. Flick has had the highest of highs and the lowest of lows in his life. After attending the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, he returned to civilian life and took a job at Coldwell Banker, where he quickly rose to the top.

But In his early 30s, a cancer diagnosis took away nearly everything. The treatment was not only physically devastating, but it made him reflect on how as soon as he stopped working, his money dried up. He resolved to follow a career path with more passive income, and that led to him recruiting many real estate agents to work for him.

His business is so successful that he happily donates millions of dollars to charity. Truly, he has touched thousands of lives. Watch this video to hear his amazing life story.

Today’s guest on the podcast is Shelly Johnson. Shelly is a great example of being strong in the fundamentals of real estate and believing in yourself. In 2004, she started in real estate, and in 2008, she moved from Charleston, SC, to Charlotte, NC, with her husband. She saw the opportunities in being near a large international airport, and her husband agreed it was good for his business as well. She came to a new city during a historic recession, and dominated the market. She did it by understanding the basics of real estate, having the willingness to serve others’ needs, and having a lot of grit. The results? She made a big impact. Watch this video to learn how she did it.

On this episode of the Michael Valdes Global Podcast, I interview Rico Leon. Rico is the host of the upcoming TV show on the HGTV Network, “Rico to the Rescue.” This show is the culmination of Rico’s experience in real estate. He started in construction, then moved into selling real estate when he figured he could make more money that way. His background in construction gave him a different perspective than most agents, and he was able to more effectively serve his clients. As someone who knows construction, he’s also seen how bad contractors can really screw up a renovation, and his empathy toward his clients has led him to advocate for them. In his new show, Rico to the Rescue, he saves homeowners from bad construction contractors. Watch this episode to hear his background and the lessons he’s learned from building and selling homes.

Lee Lamont: Lessons From Britain to Texas

Lee Lamont came from a difficult background. He was raised by a single mother, and she had to rely on government assistance. As a result, he had to work harder than anyone around him. The lessons he learned come down to simple principles that can be replicated. Here are some of the simple principles that will always work.

Outwork the competition

If the competition is getting out of bed at 7, get up at 6. If they’re making 100 calls, make 101 calls. A common trait to very successful people is that they always outwork the competition. The average person might be looking to clock in and out, but if you go that extra mile, your customers will know it.

Always answer the phone

Are you busy? I imagine you are. But if you are willing to answer the phone any time to help out a customer, he will appreciate the work you are doing to make him feel valued. Make time for your customers, and they wil make money for you.

Be good

This is fairly simple. Don’t lie. Don’t cheat. Don’t take advantage of people. When you have your customers’ best interest at heart, they will give you more business.  

Have people around you who can help you.

You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. When you are around high-value people, you will have a positive feedback loop of growth.

Lee Lamont has been a successful entrepreneur by following principles that can work for any business. Follow his example and you can take your business to the next level.

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.

Austin & Nate Cheviron: Helping Realtors to Live a Better Life

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.

Watch this video to learn how they have implemented these timeless lessons in their business.
