Your continued support and encouragement are greatly appreciated. Let's start with what we want for you as well as what we don't want for you... What we DON'T want for you: 1 - We don't want you to be burned out, broken, and beholden to other people or companies controlling your success. Don't build your castle on someone else's land. 2 - We don't want you to suffer cash spurts, lack of profitability, and uncertainty. 3 - We don't want you to kill your potential grinding away with buyers instead of listings. 4 - We don't want you to end the year with little savings and lots of stress. 5 - We don't want you to follow false prophets, gurus, or fake coaches. 6 - We don't want you to have 'failure to launch' syndrome. What we DO want for you: 1 - We want you to have a definitive plan to follow so you will have direction and won't have to guess what to do to succeed. 2 - We want you to have goals in 5 areas of life to keep you inspired. Use your Real Estate Treasure Map to get serious about those goals. You'll do a new Treasure Map each year of your career since both your skills and your goals will change! 3 - We want you to be a powerful listing agent as early as possible in your career. 4 - We want you to invest in yourself first so you can be rich and free. 5 - We want you to build strong skills from the beginning. Let's make some assumptions about you, our listener so we can show you the math. Assume the following facts (you can modify for yourself if necessary): - You live in a state like Florida, Tennessee, or Texas with no state income tax.   - Your average sale price is $500,000. (According to Fed reporting, the median price is $423,300 at the end of January 2022 but the average is $496,000). - You are an eXp agent.   - Your average gross commission is $15,000. You pay your broker 20%, netting you $12,000 per transaction. - 1 transaction per month will gross you $144,000 your first year in business. YEAR ONE.  POP QUIZ: Please choose one answer: 1) I am ready to join EXP Realty.  2) I am interested in EXP Realty and need more info.  3) I am not interested in EXP Realty.  Key: * If you answered “#1” congratulations.
