112. THE FORGE: What's Keeping This Realtor From the Luxury Market?

What if you could transform your career and lifestyle in one bold move? Four seasoned business owners sit down with Trevor, a real estate entrepreneur determined to make a shift from the working-class market to the luxury sector. What's stopped him so far and why is his confidence in this decision lacking?

Alongside our insightful cohosts, Anthony, a therapist and coach, and Bret, a seasoned construction business veteran, we dissect the complexities Trevor faces in his pursuit of success. This candid conversation unveils Trevor's journey from his Midwest roots to his current aspirations in the Southeast, highlighting the psychological and practical challenges of embracing a more luxurious lifestyle.

Key Takeaways:

• Why hasn't Trevor committed to the luxury market yet?
• Where is God in your big decisions?
• How Trevor ended up in his own business after getting fired 5 times
• Is it wrong to be looking for a new challenge? 
• How do you feel confident in big decisions?

Our discussion delves into the nitty-gritty of transitioning networks, branding transformations, and the personal sacrifices that come with targeting high-end clientele.

As we wrap up, the dialogue shifts to broader considerations of personal fulfillment versus financial growth. We spotlight the role of mentorship and accountability, with Trevor reflecting on his goals and aspirations. The episode challenges him—and our listeners—to scrutinize their internal motivations and fears, encouraging a journey of self-discovery rooted in faith and values.
