Friends, I say this in some form or fashion on almost every episode and I donât say it to be hyperbolic, I say it because itâs a fact and itâs the truth and its this: If you canât step away from your business for 30 days without it essentially collapsing, you donât own a business, you own a job...
If youâre still bragging about working 60 hours a week, youâre doing it wrong. If youâre complaining about not enough work and asking which AMCs you should sign up for, youâre doing it wrongâŚand if you hate it when some stupid podcaster tells you youâre doing it wrong so you shut down and stop ...
Friends, you all remember Blockbuster, the video rental behemoth of the 90âs and 2000âs. The place where we would go on a Friday or Saturday night and walk around the outer perimeter of the movie wall because that's where all the new releases were. Youâd let the kids go search the kids movies a...
You know on this show we don't pull any punches. I try my best to say things that should be said, but likely won't be said by anyone else out of fear of being cancelled in some way or offending somebody. In fact, itâs true, I have offended lots of people over the years with things I say on this s...
You didnât get into this business to feel invisible, to have your time disrespected, your expertise questioned, or your fees negotiated down like you're selling used furniture on Craigslist. You got into this because youâre good at what you do. You care about accuracy. You care about doing it r...
Hereâs a hard truth, my friends, youâre not in a race with artificial intelligence. Youâre being erased by it and itâs happening quietly and systematically. And the worst part? Most of you  wonât even know itâs happening until the phone stops ringing, the orders stop coming, and the banks no lo...
 Friends, hereâs a hard truth most appraisers canât stomach: If youâre drowning in work, stuck on the hamster wheel, or terrified to shift gears, itâs because you built your business to serve your fear, not your future. These arenât hypothetical problems. These are the real questions appraisers...
Your calendar is full, your brain is fried, and your soul is starving. Or maybe your calendar isnât full enough because youâve yet to take the proper steps to build your business, but you still feel empty and burned out. Letâs face it, we live in the information age where, the problem is no lon...
Youâve heard me say it many times on this show, if you are your only source of income, youâre living in a very risky world. If your income is dependent solely on you and the hours you trade for it, your business model is built on sand and can crumble at any moment. Hear me out though because whateve...
Let me say something that might sting a little; appraisers have done a pathetic job of making themselves really matter in the marketplace. Youâve got decades of knowledge, real market insight, and the kind of expertise that could command premium fees... and yet most of you are hiding behind for...
Most appraisers will spend their entire careers stuck in a cycle of being overworked and underpaid, not because they arenât skilled, but because they refuse to think and act like real business owners. If youâre still grinding out reports just to âstay busy,â let me be blunt: you donât own a bus...
Most appraisers will never make a million dollarsânot because they canât, but because they wonât. Theyâre stuck thinking small; theyâre stuck in the lack thinking paradigm; theyâre stuck thinking everyone is out to get them and put them out of business; theyâre working too much; and theyâre prici...
