You're not broken, you just need a better strategy

When I began coaching as a service, there was an interesting pattern that started to show up.  Some agents were really good at producing and just needed an adjustment in their mindset to move forward. Other agents approached the business with all the positivity of Stuart Smalley (if you weren't old enough to watch SNL in the 90"s, then you'll have to google him).  These agents had the mindset, just lacked the mechanics.  Basically, all will - no skill.  And before you tell me that will beats skill, I agree.  However I've yet to meet someone have a bag of money fall on their head because they willed it to themselves.  Moving forward requires mechanics along with that mindset.  Most agents were hungry for more, but they really struggled to create the alignment needed to move forward with power.  There was no system to diagnose and fix the issue.  ​
After well over 10,000 hours of one on one time,  we began to see this relationship. I remember breaking out a flip chart and started to lay it all out on paper.  I first noted that if ultra productive agents were aligned in their mindset, mechanics, and movement, then what did that look like?  This is where the Qualified Champion (later called the MF Code) was born.  

I took that model to a small group of business owners in 2019 in a 7 week process and we were amazed at the trajectory changes for those in attendance.  Some went on to open Insurance agencies, others built out massive coaching programs for their mortgage team, and everyone saw a spike in their overall production. 

As the follow up conversations and results started to roll in, it was obvious this is something business owners crave.  The framework we were providing gave context to otherwise frustrated or burned out performers.  You can look across the coaching space and find plenty of mindset programs as well as How To programs.  Rarely, if ever, do those programs show how to marry them together.  The Unshakeable Agent (new name for the process) gives all of that and more.  It's a step by step guide for unlocking and creating an unshakeable business. 

What an amazing story...

I’d love to hear from you about this. Would you say you lean more on your mindset or more on your mechanics?  Is your business more frustrating or is it burning you out?  Let's hear it.  Hit the comments below and let me know.  

I've got something cool to share with you tomorrow,

What's your Number?

We talk about freedom. We talk about choice. We talk about work-life balance , the hustle , and the grind . But sometimes, all that chatter is just noise, distracting us from the actual lever of autonomy . The lever is a number. It’s not your net worth. It’s not your annual salary. It's not your bank account balance right now. It’s your FUN (F* U Number) . It’s the amount of capital, invested strategically, that would spin off enough residual income —passively—to cover your chosen lifestyle expenses forever. It’s the size of the asset that makes the job optional. The deadline negotiable. The compromise avoidable. It’s the number that means you get to say 'no' to the client who drains you, 'yes' to the project that inspires you, and 'stop' to the routine that suffocates you. It's the ultimate measure of your self-reliance . If you don't know your FUN, you don't know the distance to your freedom. You're just wandering. You're working withou...

The Firewall

  The world is a machine. A vast, efficient, relentless machine focused on two things: speed and automation. If your job, your skill, or your output can be described by a predictable set of instructions, the machine will eventually learn to do it faster, cheaper, and without complaint. This is not a threat. It is a reality. It is the new baseline. So, where do you stand? Are you building your house on sand, relying on tasks that are easily copied? Or are you building a firewall? The firewall is the part of you the machine cannot touch. It's the unique combination of judgment, empathy, creativity, and the courage to make a non-obvious choice. This week is a choice. You can perform the necessary, replaceable tasks. Or you can invest in your firewall. The question isn’t about job security. It’s about value creation. What is the one thing you can learn, practice, or build this week that will make you so valuable, no one else can do your job five years from now? It's the dif...

The Multiplier

The clock runs. The hour passes. The time is spent. Most of the world gets paid for the passing of that time. It's a comfortable contract. An agreement of safety. Trade one hour of life for an agreed-upon unit of currency. The problem with this contract is that it caps your potential. It rewards presence, not performance. It celebrates effort, not outcome. But the economy of impact is different. No one pays the painter for the hours she spent cleaning the brushes. They pay her for the masterpiece. No one pays the entrepreneur for the hours he spent staring at the ceiling. They pay him for the breakthrough idea. They pay for the result . The moment you accept this truth, your relationship with the clock fundamentally changes. You stop asking, "How long will this take?" You start asking the only question that matters: What can I do with this time that will yield the single greatest result this week? This is the question of leverage. It's the search for the acti...
