Are real estate brokerages the next dinosaur? Kevin Scanlan thinks so, and he's got an incredible new model for real estate agents that is sweeping across Texas.

He explains all the ways his four-person company empowers agents—from letting them keep 100% of their commissions to eliminating per transaction E&O fees.

Eric Siu, this week's Stay Paid guest, CEO, podcaster, and author of the new book, Leveling Up: How to Master the Game of Life, suggests that we use the lessons and principles of gamification as a way we can think about and react to adversity. If we do, then we can embrace hardship and turn it into fuel that gives us strength and motivates us to improve, to try again, and to keep going. Eric believes it's this willingness to reframe a negative into a positive that differentiates successful people from those who stop short of success. And I believe he's spot on. Listen, and when we're done, you'll walk away knowing: - The three skills gaming teaches that are indispensable to succeeding in business. - The benefits of thinking about business as an "infinite game." - Why originality is overrated and the lesson to be learned from both Picasso and Steve Jobs. ~Luke Connect | Resources You can find Eric's book at LevelingUp.com To learn how to generate more referrals and repeat business, visit: www.remindermedia.com Follow Stay Paid: https://twitter.com/staypaidpodcast https://www.facebook.com/staypaidpodcast https://www.instagram.com/staypaidpodcast Follow Luke Acree: https://www.instagram.com/lukeacree https://www.linkedin.com/in/lukeacree https://www.facebook.com/lukeacreeRM/

Hear how a real estate rock star is made and grab his strategies for yourself. Jeff Cohn was personally recruited by Gary Keller and in January 2020, Jeff opened a tech-powered office in Omaha, Nebraska. He started with 24 agents and $3M in gross commission. By the end of 2020, the year of the pandemic and other lunacy, Jeff had: - Doubled his volume. - Doubled commissions. - Tripled his agent count. - Added a mortgage company. - Added an insurance company. - Added a digital marketing hub. - Grew his investment company to $10M+ in assets.
