What it Means to Commit to Your Next Level® in Real Estate
Getting to your Next Level® in real estate doesn’t happen by accident. It takes commitment.
What do I mean by Next Level® in real estate? I mean consciously and purposefully committing to designing a life and career worth smiling about. One that includes balance and joy as much as bottom-line profits and a bigger referral base. One where your focus is not on selling but serving, not on closing – but coaching.
Why are these things important to becoming the best possible real estate professional you can be and ensuring that your personal best is always getting better? Because it’s a more authentic way to live and work. The idea that we have a “work-life” and a “personal life” is kind of a fallacy, right? We have a “life” and all the components that go into it. The idea that there will always be a balance between the two is just unrealistic, especially in today’s world. There’s a lot of “all work and no play” going on for a lot of people, but that doesn’t always equate to being more successful. In fact, often times it means being less successful because there’s no time to “sharpen our ax”.
You’ve probably heard the story.
Two men are in a wood-chopping contest. They each have 30 minutes to chop as much wood as they can. One guy goes to it – chopping away furiously for the entire time. Every now and then, though, he glances over to see his competitor take a break every ten minutes, then resumes. He thinks to himself, “I got this in the bag! I’m working harder than he is!” At the end of the contest, the judge comes to look at the two piles of wood, and the contestant who took the breaks had almost twice as many logs. “How? I never stopped chopping,” said the first guy. The winner simply said, “What you didn’t see was that every time I took a break, I was sharpening my ax.”
It’s an oldie but a goodie, and an analogy that should remind us all to continuously take a break to “sharpen our axes” and commit to what it takes to get to a Next Level® that can provide a solid living—and a solid life.
To help agents do that, I put together a 3-Part Breakthrough Real Estate Business Plan.
So, why three parts?
Because, we have agents considering making this commitment who are coming to it from all ends of the experience spectrum. Brand new agents who’ve just come through the licensing process, seasoned veterans who thought they’d seen it all but might be ready to take their next steps, and everyone in between can use a real estate business plan that can…
- Teach you how to get NOW business – generating real estate commissions within 60-90 days
- Teach you how to get FUTURE business – how to establish and grow a solid neighborhood farm and cultivate a strong real estate referral base
- Teach you how to create FINANCIAL FREEDOM – the tools you need to access where you are, where you want to be, and how to retire when you’re ready or at least have the comfort of having that option
Next, once you have the business plan under your belt, the next step for many agents to get to their Next Level® is to become a Power Agent®.
What is a Power Agent®?
Power Agents are real estate professionals who personify the culture and commitment of serving, not selling. Of coaching, not closing. Of giving more than taking. We have an ever-expanding network of professionals who want to take their businesses to their Next Level® by consistently committing to learning the sales, communication, and negotiating skills they need to best serve the real estate buyers and sellers in their communities and beyond. They also commit to bypassing limited belief systems and shifting their mindsets to allow themselves and their families the best possible opportunity to create lives worth smiling about.
A Power Agent® is a member of an exclusive program of dedicated professionals (less than 1% of agents across North America) committed to Helping Buyers and Sellers Get to Their Next Level℠ in life.
What do you get as a Power Agent®?

- Weekly training. Our weekly webinars provide the tools, strategies, and training agents need to succeed on every level – and serve at their Next Level®.
- Full library of training on demand. Savvy sales professionals can learn on the topic of their choice 24/7, 365 on demand. Every training is recorded and added to the library for Power Agents®.
- An entire classroom of tools. Every aspect of becoming a real estate success story is covered in our classroom. From working with buyers, to confidently having listing conversations on a listing appointment, to negotiating like a pro, to building a successful farm, to growing a strong referral base and book of business, to handling objections without stress, to social media and branding tools and everything in between – there are more than 1200 tools in the classroom, and more being added every single month.
- A directory of like-minded agents. As a Power Agent®, you’ll get to tap into a referral network of agents across North America to share referrals and tips, find integrity partners, and even create role-playing connections. It’s powerful.
- A Facebook Community. Our Power Agent Facebook Community is grounded in professionalism and curated with kindness. You’ll find individuals from all over North America.
