Summary
What if your goals are the reason you feel behind?
In this episode, we're talking about realistic goal setting—and why no one (including us!) can tell you what your goals "should" be.
Because here's the truth: your goals have to match your life.
We're breaking down what's actually normal in real estate (hint: it's probably less than you think), why comparing yourself to other agents will always leave you feeling behind, and how to set goals that actually support your lifestyle—not compete with it.
We also dive into why number-based goals can feel discouraging, how action-based goals give you more control, and what to do if you're feeling overwhelmed or off track halfway through the year.
Plus, we share real-life examples of how our own goals have shifted over time—and why doing less can sometimes lead to better results.
And don't miss the story of the Mexican fisherman… because it might completely change how you think about success.
Here's what we cover in this episode:
-Why no one can (or should) set your goals for you
-What's actually "normal" in real estate production
-Why your goals must match your current season of life
-The problem with comparing yourself to other agents
-Why number goals can create unnecessary pressure
-How to use action-based goals instead
-Examples of realistic, achievable action goals
-How to evaluate your past performance when setting goals
-Why doing less can sometimes produce better results
-How to revisit and adjust your goals throughout the year
-What to do when you feel behind or off track
-Why you don't have to share your goals with anyone
-The importance of knowing your "why" behind every goal
-The Mexican fisherman story and redefining success
