DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH ONE TEAM MODEL. Business Tip: Be Open Minded About Your Team Structure
🛑 “you’re not following the model” listen if you’ve been in real estate for a while like I have you’ve probably heard that, at least a time or two. And regardless of what the “coaches” say, There isn’t just one model... 🚫 The notion that everybody should run their business exactly the same to achieve success is absolutely absurd. ✅ The truth is there are many different ways to have a very successful business and what matters the most is having a model that you are willing to execute on daily ✅ Gary Keller once said to me “don’t fall in love with your model it’s likely going to change many times. Focus on getting in business with the right people” you know what? He was right. ✅ Our business model has shifted numerous times, and each time we’ve reached new highs. So the question I have for you is this... Are you following a model because you think you’re supposed to? or because it’s the model you feel is best for you and your business?
