WIN BY NOON. Interview: Todd Bookspan
Have you ever finished your day and realized that it was entirely spent reacting to crises and other people’s problems without accomplishing your most important priorities for the day? I can remember countless days when I woke up with great intentions to complete my essential tasks only to be derailed by issues that were urgent in the moment but not important to meeting my long-term objectives. As a result, I was riding the roller coaster of the mortgage business — having a good month, followed by a bad month, followed by a good month, followed by a bad month. You know what I am taking about! The concept of Winning By Noon resulted from the realization that my biggest successes in sales resulted when I time-blocked a portion of my morning, every morning, to complete those activities that drove my future business. That meant my door was closed, my email inbox was closed, and I didn’t respond to phone calls, text messages, or allow others to disturb me until my most important activities and disciplines were completed. In essence, I Won By Noon. My wish for you is that you can use the Win By Noon Planner to change your daily focus, accomplish your most important goals and priorities, and Win By Noon. Every day will not be perfect. There will be times when you need to help to manage a crisis on a file or when you have an opportunity to meet with a prospective partner who can only meet in the morning. However, if you adopt the Win By Noon philosophy, you’ll have a new filter to make decisions about your morning time-block, and practiced consistently, you will see amazing results. Win By Noon! You can do it!

CHRIS HELLER THE HOME SELLER. Interview: Chris Heller
On today’s episode of Kevin & Fred’s Next Level Agents Podcast, Kevin sits down with his friend, real estate leader Chris Heller. Formerly the CEO of Keller Williams Reality Inc. and President of Keller Williams Worldwide, Chris is now the CEO of mellohome, sister company to loanDepot. On the podcast, Chris shares the not-so-secret way he was able to get his start in real estate investing. After reading the book The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason, he began putting away 15% of the monthly commission from his real estate job with the goal of eventually making an investment. That dedication to diligently saving paid off when Chris was able to jump on opportunities when they came up, from buying a coin operated laundromat for passive income to investing in property he had dreamed of owning for years. Kevin and Chris talk about the industry and share some advice for real estate professionals, from beginners to those who have been in the game for years. Listen in to hear about how technology and changes in consumer behavior are changing the ways agents are adapting to create excellent customer experiences. Whether you’re in the real estate industry or not, Chris has some advice to offer anyone who wants to be successful. •Do the right thing. •Be willing to do whatever it takes. •Show up. Pay attention. Tell the truth. And don’t be attached to the outcome. In the podcast, you’ll hear Chris talk about two books that made an impression on him in his career.
