To Run or Not to Run - that is the question… Keep the Streak Alive.

Yesterday, I faced a choice: Run or not to run?

I started a streak last week—running a 5K every morning before work. But yesterday, I was tired. I could have let my feelings get in the way of my seventh consecutive run, but instead, I laced up and hit the pavement.

And you know what? Once I got going, I felt better than I had all week. Whether it was the cooler air or the power of consistency, I decided to push past my usual 5K and run a 10K instead.

Now, am I as fast or as strong as I was a couple of years ago?  Nope.  I'm a shadow of the person I was a couple of years ago.  Life has had its way of taking a big bite out of my sandwich (as life tends to do). I could have made excuses—I was busy, I didn’t have time, the couch was calling my name—but the truth is, we make time for what matters.  

For the last year and a half, I drifted away from the habits that got me to where I wanted to be. Sound familiar?

Enter Bull Durham—aka the greatest baseball movie of all time.

One of my biggest takeaways from that classic is a quote from Crash Davis (played by Kevin Costner) to the hotshot rookie Nuke LaLoosh (Tim Robbins). Their team had been on a brutal losing streak but suddenly started winning. Crash looked at Nuke and said:

"Never F$*& with a winning streak."

Now, I don’t know if that quote belongs on a motivational poster, but let me tell you—it’s gold.

Winning streaks don’t just happen in baseball… or in running. They happen in real estate, in business, and in life. Success comes from showing up, putting in the work, and sticking with what’s proven to win.

So here’s my question to you:

Are you in a winning streak right now? Or do you need to get back to what worked before?

If you’re looking for a place where success is the standard, where growth is constant, and where we don’t mess with a good thing—we should talk.

Let’s lace up and run this race together.

Reflections on 2024

Reflections  on 2024 I was dreaming when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray.   But when I woke up this morning, I could have sworn it was Award's day. I believe it is safe to say that for most of us, 2024 is a year to forget.   A down year.   Honestly, not a lot to be thankful or hopeful about, but for others - it was their best year… their first year… their breakthrough year… their 24th year…   there was some magic in 2024. This is who we are celebrating today! Regardless of whether you are in the first group (that never wants to be reminded of 2024 again) or the second group (where something magical happened) - you deserve to be celebrated.   Whether you came in like a wrecking ball or you limped in like a biscuit and your goal was to simply survive 2024 - the fact remains - you are here.   You didn’t give up like so many others did.   Anyone who has been in the business awhile can remember the recession of 2008-2011.   T hose of yo...

What they don't see...

Image
They see the photos at the finish line, the medals, the t-shirts, and group pics. They see the hats, bibs and occasional placing trophy, but there is a whole lot more that they don’t see… They don’t see the 4 AM alarm going off to make it to a 5 AM training run almost every day. They don’t see the 4 AM alarm going off to make it to a 5 AM training run almost every day. They don’t see the countless hours running hundreds of miles training for our next race. They don’t see the “track” days where we run repetitions and push our speed faster than we ever have before. They don’t see the hills that we trained on to get stronger. They don’t see the tempo days where we run faster to increase our endurance over an extended time. They don’t see the Saturday long runs where we run anywhere from 10-20 miles. They don’t see our sacrifices in the kitchen, where we have to make choices that sometimes conflict with what we really want. They don’t see the 7-10 hours a week spent at the gym on ...

STOP! Be Honest With Yourself: Are You REALLY Hungry?

Image
  I’m not talking about kind-of-hungry. I’m talking about the kind of hunger that makes you willing to eat soup with a fork . Yeah— that hungry. I first heard that phrase from Kenny “The Jet” Smith on Inside the NBA, and it hit me hard. He was talking about the kind of players he wanted on his team. The ones who would grind, hustle, and show up no matter what. That same mindset applies to real estate. Because the truth is— hunger separates the top producers from the pack . Every year, I meet with hundreds of agents and I always ask: How much do you want to earn next year? The most common answer? $100K . But here’s where it gets interesting. I always follow up with one simple question: Why is that number important to you? That’s when the truth reveals itself. The agents who know their why —the ones chasing something deeper—are the ones who hit that goal and blow past it. But if the answer is “because it sounds good” or “I’ve never made that much before,” chances are… they ...
