Social media can be positive and negative all at the same time; it all depends on how we choose to use it.
The interactions we have online often affect our offline lives and sometimes, not for the right reasons. For some, the obvious response to online disagreements would be switching off our devices. That said, many would argue that even switching off doesn’t allow us to fully disengage.
Is it possible to run a business in the 21st century without having an online presence? Can we stay omnipresent to our audiences without being completely consumed by social media?
Given how relatively new social media is, we don’t know the long-term positive or negative effects it could have on us.
On this episode, Australia’s #1 real estate coach, Glenn Twiddle returns to share how to use social media without losing our souls.

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode
Ask what went right
Everyday, write down the positive steps taken. These include documenting our morning routines, how we prospected for new business and what we did to differentiate ourselves.
Ask what went wrong
No matter how successful our days have been, there will always be something that goes wrong. Acknowledge those moments, so they don’t need to be repeated.
Keep learning
Cultivate the habit of continuous learning. This isn’t always easy, especially when there is so much new information everyday. Stay informed by enrolling in ‘Youtube university’ or even by asking people questions on specialist Facebook groups.

If we go looking for our ideal client, but don’t create the environment that attracts and keeps them, we have no one to blame but ourselves. To become ‘Tom Cruise famous’ to the right people, we have to create the ideal client in our minds and speak directly to them.
To be MicroFamous in our markets, we have to find ways to differentiate ourselves, while staying authentic to who we are. It’s not enough to have our names known, we have to be recognized for what sets us apart.
How can we attract and keep our ideal clients, long after our first transaction with them? What information do we need to share with the world to build a MicroFamous persona?
In this episode, Australia’s #1 millionaire real estate coach, Glenn Twiddle returns to the show to discuss how to get MicroFamous.
Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode
Exude the right energy
Becoming MicroFamous doesn’t happen overnight; we have to consistently put the right energy into the world. Give without expecting anything in return. We never know who is talking about the good deeds we do or value we offer; ultimately, it will come back to us.
Be authentic
Consumers can tell when agents are being caring because they want something in return. If we aren’t personally interested in forming deeply emotional attachments with our community, that’s fine; we just need to find something else to hang our hats on.
Don’t over-share
While we may think being authentic requires us to share every part of ourselves, that’s not the case. Remember that our ideal clients want to get to know who we are and what we stand for in the shortest time possible. Don’t share anything unrelated to the ideal client; over-sharing actually does them a disservice.

Our mornings set the tone for the rest of our day, so we need to make sure we’re setting them up the right way. Rushing through the morning only causes us to arrive at the office feeling panicked and stressed before the day has even started.
How can we create a more effective morning routine that paves the way for success?
With a more effective routine, we can spend more time with our loved ones and boost our productivity at work.
On this episode, co-author of The Miracle Morning for Salespeople, Ryan Snow shares why it’s important to establish an effective morning routine and how to do it.
Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode
Write it down
Journaling is an extremely important component of a successful morning routine. We can’t just keep ideas, thoughts and problems in our heads; by writing them down, we use more of our senses to acknowledge what’s going on in our lives.
It’s okay to be reluctant
A lot of us are hesitant to incorporate journaling or meditation into our morning routines and that’s okay. We all have things we’re not comfortable with. However, we have to ensure we don’t avoid them altogether. Often, the activities we’re not comfortable with are the ones we would get the most out of.
Take control
While it may seem insignificant to acknowledge the challenges we’re experiencing, there is power in facing our demons head-on. Doing so either allows us to take control of the situation, or helps us to realize that it’s out of our hands, and not worth our time to worry about.

So many agents live by the idea that ‘buyers are liars,’ so instead of servicing them, they focus all their energies on listings instead. But for those of us who don’t follow that logic, there are massive opportunities.
Where can we find buyers, and how can we offer them value without spending weeks on end showing them house after house? The truth is, we shouldn’t be showing buyers that many properties in the first place; by asking the right questions, we can narrow down the search from the start.
The key to being a successful buyer’s agent lies in growing our knowledge and expanding our network to build relationships with everyone from clients to competitors.
On this episode, Founder at PorchLight, Mark Pattison shares how to build a successful business by focusing on buyers.
Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode
Find a niche
To have success as a buyers agent, we have to niche down. Focus on a small, tight-knit community. By serving one group, we can get more referrals.
Ask the right questions
Ask buyers open-ended questions, focused on uncovering the client’s ‘why,’ and be sure to write down what they say. This ensures we find exactly what the client wants and needs, without spending weeks or even months showing them an endless list of unsuitable properties.
Keep learning
We can only bring our clients value if we’re well-informed of industry trends. Keep building onto existing knowledge and take notes wherever possible. Remember, information is money.

With all that’s happened in 2020, it’s easy to slip into a negative mindset, but to come out smiling on the other side, we have to stop allowing ourselves to be victims and start being the victors. We are in control of our lives and we can choose to be optimistic.
We can’t change the fact that the world is changing, but we can actively decide to change with it. Let’s use this time to reinvent ourselves, while having fun doing it.
How can we create a more positive mindset amidst the craziness?
On this episode, Broker/Owner of Network Team Homes Realty and Executive Distributor at SendOutCards, Gayle Zientek shares how to cultivate a stronger mindset.
Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode
Adapt to the new normal
It’s easy to spiral into a negative mindset if we think about all the changes going on in our world, but we can choose to look past them. Instead of looking at where the puck was, we can look at where it’s going and move forward.
Be authentic
We can achieve so much by being true to ourselves. When we do the things that make us happy, it shows up in all aspects of our lives, so we can be holistically successful.
Stop injecting negativity
Watching mainstream news and surrounding ourselves with negative people makes a huge impact on our mindsets. Stop allowing bad influences that get us down into our lives. This can be difficult, but it’s all worth it in the long term.

If COVID-19 has taught agents anything over the past few months, it’s that we have to do what it takes to stay relevant, and the best way to be relevant is by creating video content.
Some agents are still too scared to appear on video, but it’s time to get rid of the fear. We have to start embracing who we are if we want to make a name for ourselves in our markets.
Video is non-negotiable for success, so how can we ease into making videos if we’re new to the space?
On this episode, founder of DigitalNatives Inc and The ZillowKiller brand, James Rembert shares how to get more comfortable on camera.
Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode
Take baby steps
Agents new to being on camera are understandably nervous, so start small. Instead of creating hours of content, start with short, one-minute videos.
Stick with what we know
The best way to get comfortable with being on camera is by speaking about the things we know best. The great thing is, this doesn’t need to be related to our business, just talk about the things we enjoy and know a lot about.
Stick to one channel
When starting out on video, it’s a good idea to pick one channel and post to it consistently. Don’t try to post on Facebook, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram; pick one and use it frequently.

With more people working from home than ever before, those who haven’t adjusted to the new normal struggle with getting into work routines and being productive. It can be incredibly challenging to maintain the same level of productivity and effectiveness without the traditional work structures many people function in.
Being away from the office doesn’t have to mean sacrificing how well we work, we can still maintain the structures by replicating them in the virtual world.
How can we perform at the same level virtually as we did in a physical office space, and what tools do we employ? In this episode, integrative productivity expert and CEO/Founder of The Limitless Collaborative, Angela Kristen Taylor joins us. She talks about her new project and how it’s helping people work better virtually.
Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode
How our emotions impact our effectiveness
Productivity is rooted in emotion and how we feel on the inside directly correlates to how we perform on the outside. For many people, the stress of commuting to work is actually internally draining. By removing that, we can reduce stress, improve our emotional state and raise our productivity.
Ways to replicate the accountability of the office
If you’re used to showing up in the office where there are specific roles, functions and ways of functioning, it can be hard to have the accountability of showing up to work, or to get in the zone for work. However, it’s not impossible to adjust to a new way of doing things.
Why virtual doesn’t need to be an inferior working experience
Working virtually doesn’t have to be a lesser experience or a downgrade. For most people transitioning from a physical office space, the worry is not having the same feeling of support and community. You can still have that support structure virtually by leveraging digital tools.
