Thankfully Inspired to Action..Thank Sis' RIP

10X Real Estate Marketing & Coaching

Hey, Hey, Happy Thanksgiving!

Turkey day, 10 X real estate warriors. Just want to check in with you today on Thanksgiving day, had a real quick message for you. You know, so this morning I was out for my annual Turkey trot, uh, with myself and my headphones listening to Alice's restaurant. So why listen to Alice's restaurant even it's like a 26 minute long song by our old Guthrie, um, which I listened to every single Thanksgiving, uh, especially after, um, I had a traumatic experience in my life. I'm going to share that with you and, and hopefully it'll make an impact on your life and help you to change and maybe make an impact on somebody else's life. So, you know, it's probably five, six years ago now. I, I kind of blocked it out. I don't even remember what exactly when, um, my sister, uh, who was four years older than me, who was right about the same age as I am now at 54.

Um, I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and over about a 16 month period, my sister fought with pancreatic cancer. Uh, God bless her. And for the first, um, I don't know, 12, 14 months, uh, she didn't even really check to see what the prognosis was. She just believed that she was going to be okay. And, you know, she battled the Val valiantly. Um, my sister had a very similar kind of, um, comedic delivery as I do. And, you know, really didn't take things too hard. Uh, she just took it a day at a time. And I remember it was probably one of the last days that I was with her and she looked at me and I thought, wow, this is it. And she said, you know, I said, you know, do you want to go with a beach? I'll carry you. I don't, I don't, I, you know, whatever you want to do, do you want to fly somewhere?

I'll, I'll rent the plane. What do you, what do you want to do? You know, what do you want to do? Like your last day here on earth, you know, or physically on earth, I should say. And, um, my sister has been with me more now than ever spiritually. Um, and you know, what's funny is she said, you know, just shut up and come sit down at the end of the bed. And I sat down, I ended up bed and she said, you know, just promise me one thing. And I said, what's that man? And I said, you know what, anything you want? And she said, you know, promise me. I'll never let anybody steal your dreams. I kind of sat back. And I was like, what are you talking about? She goes, you know, ever since we were kids, um, I've watched you come out of the military and pretty much chase whatever you wanted to do.

And you did it, you know, uncle Frank got your job in union, hated that. So you've made a new path for yourself and, you know, you didn't, you know, even though you didn't go to college, you're probably the most well-read person I've met. And I was like, well, you know, I appreciate you saying that, but, you know, uh, you know, it's not going to help your situation. She goes, I'm not, I don't have a situation left. Um, she goes, I know where my path is right now, but you have a choice and you have two young daughters, you have a wonderful wife, you know, do me a favor. And I said, what's that? And she said, promise me. You'll never let anybody steal your dreams and stay fit and stay healthy for your kids. You know? So, you know, that was probably one of the more changing, uh, when people say, you know, you have a few times in your life where you have an impact and something changes your life.

Well, that was obviously one of them. Uh, shortly thereafter, I went into my office and my broker and, you know, team, office manager or whatever, uh, really couldn't understand that we were needed to build a team and we needed to go to the next level. And you, for years past, I would fight my way upstream and keep paddling and paddling the boat paddle on the boat and trying to fight my way up the stream. And finally, it just said, you know what? I remember what my sister said. I turned the boat around. I took the tuck doors out of the water and I basically drifted downstream. And really what I did was made a choice and went to a different brokerage, um, and took a different path in my life. Um, I've recently come to the conclusion that, um, my path is now changing again.

Um, I enjoy doing real estate sales. We've had a great couple of weeks here. Um, and you know, as of today we finalize another transaction with my team. Um, and we're really good at that. And I said, but you know, really where I get the most joy is helping somebody like my buyer, agent krill, or Abby, or somebody on my team, or, you know, Jasmine or somebody other people we're working with and helping inspire them and helping them to learn the things that I've learned from guys like woods Davis on nicknames. And I'll be Stacy, Jay kinder, Michael Reese, um, you know, uh, Travis Delaney, that whole cast of characters are in my accountability group that I chat with every morning. And, you know, every day I'm inspired by those guys. Um, I've seen just massive transformations in these people and really they don't get stuck up in where they are.

They just decide who they want to be and they just choose and do it. So if you're at a point in your life, excuse me, if you're at a point in your life and you're just tired of who you're being change it, the one place has got to change those in that five and span that five in Spanish between your ears. If you don't change it, nobody else will make a change. Draw sand on the line today, make an impact on somebody else's life. The more you can impact others, the more you'll impact your own life, make life worth living. Here's the question I always ask people, you know, they said, what do you, what would you write on your tombstone? Uh, you know what? My mentor used to ask me that question all the time, and I'd say, you know, I don't know what I'd write.

Well, what's funny is you're going to be six feet under. You're not going to have a choice of what you want to write on there. It's going to be somebody else. Who's defining who you were when you were here. And we're not defined by what we say, but we're defined by what we do in the actions that we take and what people interpret from our actions. So what are they going to write on your tombstone when you pass? What do you want them to write? Start to be that person today, if we can help you. And if we can give you the tools and the techniques and the, the systems and the platforms, give us a shout. We're more than happy to help you to become the person you want to be. Um, I got great news for you. We're going to give you about 30 to 40 of the world's absolute like industry leaders.
