    253. Execute Like an Empire Builder: 5 Steps to Achieve Your Big Goals

    Are you ready to turn your vision into action? Here's the deal: The second Friday in January is Quitter's Day—the day most people abandon their New Year's resolutions. Less than two weeks into the year, those big goals and optimistic plans often fall apart. Why does this happen? It's simple: people set the goal but skip the steps. Without executable strategies, even the best intentions fizzle out.

    In today's episode, we're diving deep into how to avoid the Quitter's Day trap. Whether it's your personal resolutions or big-picture business strategies, execution is the secret sauce. Execution means turning strategies into results—and while it sounds simple, it's far from easy.

    As empire builders, we know the struggle: You spend Q4 revisiting your vision, setting ambitious goals, and strategizing. But, like 80% of companies and countless individuals, you might find yourself falling short without the right steps in place. That's why we're breaking down five practical steps inspired by the book The 4 Disciplines of Execution by Franklin Covey. Plus, we've got a bonus empire builder step—because we always bring a little extra flavor to help you ensure success.

    Get ready for tactical advice, actionable strategies, and a fresh perspective to help you execute your goals like the empire builder you are.

    250. Journey to Financial Freedom

    When Tiffany introduced herself on stage at the 2020 Mega Agent Camp, she described herself as “financially free.” That caught the attention of many folks, and rightfully so.

    What does it mean to be financially free? That’s what we get into in today’s episode.

    We discuss the difference between financial freedom and financial independence. We swap stories about how we were raised to understand money and how that has shifted over our lives. Most importantly, we have a conversation about how money interacts with purpose and joy.

    Are you financially free? Listen in and let us know what you think!

    249. How to Turn Calls Into Closings

    Almost every business faces the same challenge: How do you convert live leads into successful sales? In real estate, we call these kinds of leads "sign calls." They're when someone calls you out of the blue to ask you a question about something you're selling. If you're prepared for these conversations, they can be absolute gold.

    We break down everything you need to know into three key sections: mindset shift, conversation framework, and follow-up systems.

    Remember: The primary goal is not to answer their questions. It's to establish trust, understand their needs, and guide them to the next step.
