About this listen
Selling real estate is all about closing as many deals as possible, as quickly as possible, right? Wrong. Nothing could be further from the truth. True success doesn't come from an obsession with closing deals and getting paid. The real way to succeed in real estate is to make buyers happy, and sales will follow.
In Close for Life, realtor trainer and top producer Josh Cadillac puts you on the path to long-term success in real estate. In the book, he shares his simple, sustainable methods for succeeding without focusing on closing transactions: make prospective customers see that you know what you're talking about and are looking out for their best interests; learn all you can about the industry and understand the importance of continuing curiosity and learning; retain customers long after the transaction is done and show them their business means so much more than just money in your pocket; and change your focus from customer acquisition to customer retention.
Today the most effective real estate agents spend less time focusing on getting paid and more time concentrating on building a business that pays them for the rest of their life. Whether you're a novice or highly experienced agent, Close for Life shows how to dramatically improve your approach.

As soon as the financial crisis erupted, the finger-pointing began. Should the blame fall on Wall Street, Main Street, or Pennsylvania Avenue? On greedy traders, misguided regulators, sleazy subprime companies, cowardly legislators, or clueless home buyers? According to Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera, two of America's most acclaimed business journalists, the real answer is all of the above-and more. Many devils helped bring hell to the economy.

Ten years later, and against all odds, this upstart autonomous decentralized software offers an unstoppable and globally-accessible hard money alternative to modern central banks. The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of Bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications.

We're in the middle of an epidemic of average. So-called "normal" people get up every day, go to work, do what's asked of them, leave promptly at five, and return home to sit on the couch and watch TV. Society tells us that this is what it means to lead a balanced life. Don't stress too much or work too hard. Your career isn't everything. But Grant Cardone thinks this preoccupation with balance has really just given an excuse to be mediocre.

Most organizations and individuals work in the context of annual goals and plans; a 12-month execution cycle. Instead, The 12 Week Year avoids the pitfalls and low productivity of annualized thinking. This book redefines your "year" to be 12 weeks long. In 12 weeks, there just isn't enough time to get complacent, and urgency increases and intensifies. The 12 Week Year creates focus and clarity on what matters most and a sense of urgency to do it now. In the end more of the important stuff gets done and the impact on results is profound.

Story
Real estate investors used to build wealth the hard way: slowly saving money and sacrificing their current happiness for a future reward. This method produces results in the long run but what if there's a better, more efficient way that works in years instead of decades? Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat (BRRRR) is the five-part real estate investing strategy that makes financial freedom more attainable than ever: You buy a property under market value, add value with renovations, rent it out to tenants, complete a cash-out refinance, and then use that money to do it all over again.

Are you interested in real estate investing but there is nothing to buy that makes sense where you live? Are you tired of seeing the amazing success of others investing in markets better suited for buy and hold real estate and wish that could be you? Do you want to take advantage of wealth building opportunities but are frustrated by the fact there just isn't any way to do that until the next market crash? Real estate investing is one of the greatest vehicles to build wealth, but it doesn't make sense in every market. Some locations provide incredible returns, while others make it almost impossible to find a single property that profits. Traditionally, investing out of state has been considered risky and unwise.

Great book for any and all real estate agents!
very insightful! I must read for all new agents. if this was a required reading after real estate agents get their license, agents would have a better reputation and would be more prepared to work in this industry. Brokers should require reading or listening to this book to their agents. This book will set you up for success! thanks Josh! I enjoyed your class too!

A must read for anyone serious about their real estate business.
I had the opportunity to participate in one of Josh's commercial real estate classes recently, which motivated me to purchase this book. Unlike the repetitive advice I've encountered throughout my 8-year journey in real estate, Josh brings fresh, detailed insights to the table. During our class, he challenged me to explain a concept, and my response, albeit straightforward, lacked depth and failed to reflect my understanding. Josh, on the other hand, provided an answer brimming with specifics, highlighting the critical importance of not only knowing your subject matter but also presenting it in a way that reassures clients of your expertise. Josh’s book is a treasure trove of wisdom and relatable anecdotes. Thank you, Josh, for generously sharing your knowledge. This book is truly inspiring to me. May God continue to bless you for your exceptional contribution to our field!
