Your best farming tool isn’t what you think...

After nearly 20 years in this business, I’ve seen it happen over and over again…

Every time the market shifts even slightly, most agents chase new tactics. They drop what they were doing before, and look for something new and exciting.

But the ones who grow their farms the fastest?

They stay curious. Always learning, testing, and refining what they do locally. And then they apply what they’ve learned.

Here’s the truth: knowledge is useless without application.

The agents who dominate their communities aren’t the ones who know everything. They’re the ones who try something, measure it, and improve it.

So here’s a SUPER simple challenge for this week:

  • Pick one thing you’ve learned recently. Maybe from a podcast, a training, one of these emails, or even another agent and then apply it to your business.

It could be introducing yourself to five local business owners, creating a short neighborhood video, or updating your newsletter intro to feature a community story.

Learning creates clarity. Action creates momentum. Combine both, and you build authority.

Keep growing,

P.S. Speaking of learning… You’ve probably guessed I love helping agents take what they’re learning and turn it into real momentum in their local markets.

I’ve been working on a few fresh new webinars and training sessions that agents are really responding to.

So If your office or association ever brings in guest speakers, I’d love to share one with your team. Just drop me a message or a comment I’ll make it easy to get the ball rolling!
