Success doesn’t just come to those who work hard. It comes to people who don’t give up, even when things get tough. The truth is, everyone fails sometimes, but if you keep going and learn to adapt, those failures can help you grow and reach success.

Many people believe their problems will never go away, or that success comes more easily to others. If you’re feeling stuck, it’s not because you don’t have enough skills or tools—it’s because you haven’t yet learned how to turn those challenges into opportunities.

How can you turn your struggles into a way to move forward? Are you fully using social media and the right mindset to grow and get referrals, or are you missing opportunities?

In this episode, I talk with “Hardcore Closer” Ryan Stewman about how he went from hitting rock bottom to becoming a top sales expert. We share simple but powerful ideas that can help you overcome any problem and find success.

Are you leaving thousands, if not millions, in commissions on the table without even realizing it? As real estate professionals, we often have a goldmine of opportunities sitting right in our own databases, but we still find ourselves buying leads or chasing cold prospects.

The potential for incredible commissions is already at your fingertips—hidden in the contacts stored in your phone.

Many real estate agents fail to maximize the value of their contacts, missing out on millions in potential deals simply because they don’t have a functional strategy to extract the most value from their database or simply because information is incomplete.

How do we focus our time and energy to tap into the opportunities in our contacts? What are some of the things we can do to fill CRM gaps?

In this episode, co-founder of Revaluate Chris Drayer and “The CRM coach” Adam Frank join me to talk about the millions we’re leaving on the table when it comes to our database, how to tap into the potential commission our contacts can bring and why having a database without direction is useless.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

Be a CRM expert

Mastering your CRM in real estate allows you to streamline operations, stay organized, and effectively manage client relationships. What opportunities can we extract when we master our CRM?

Take what you want

Leveraging your real estate database by focusing on the clients that align with your goals can maximize efficiency and opportunities. How can you determine which clients to prioritize and which to refer to other agents for the best outcomes?

No one has a perfect database.

Incomplete databases doesn’t necessarily mean that the leads are bad. It just means that the opportunities are limited. What can be done to bridge these gaps and complete the data?

Many real estate agents find it hard to reach six figures because they focus on the big picture and forget the small, consistent actions that lead to success.

Instead of chasing every opportunity or burning out from overwork, agents should focus on intentional daily habits and building genuine relationships.

Success isn’t about one huge leap—it’s about doing the little things right every day, and those small wins build up over time to create a thriving business.

What do you do if you’re working harder but you’re still not seeing the results you want? What if focusing on big, flashy goals is stopping you from realizing that doing less, but with more intention, could actually make your business soar?

In this episode, I talk to a real estate leader in Northwest Florida and motivational speaker, Paul Domenech AKA Pauly. He breaks down his method for achieving six-figure success without sacrificing your life or sanity.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

Small steps create big success
Success is not built on one monumental decision. It’s about consistently doing small things every day. Are you sweating the small stuff that matters?

Why consistency leads to creativity
Before you can get creative, you need to be consistent. How does staying consistent give you the space to authentically innovate?

Finding your why power
Your “why” is more powerful than your willpower. What happens when you connect your daily actions to a purpose that drives you forward?
