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...
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...
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...

 What happens when you just donât want to do it anymore? What happens when youâve lost your mojo? What do you do when the love is gone? No, Iâm not talking about your personal relationships, Iâm talking about your work and business and, ultimately, what weâre going to talk about on this episode...
I have some questions for you:
Do you consider yourself to be an expert? If so, how did you become an expert? How long did it take you and what did it cost you? Not just in actual dollars, but how much did it cost you in time and effort on your way to becoming an expert? How would you define y...
Results! Thatâs the standard the world uses to judge almost everything. In business, especially, the only thing that really matters is how much money ends up in the coffers after all the bills are paid. Of course, you and I know that's not ALL that matters, but the results of our activities are...
Say the word âsuccessâ, and what comes to your mind? We all have our own ideas about and definitions of success. Yes, there is a definition in the dictionary (the accomplishment of an aim or a principle), but we all think slightly differently about the word success and it is dependent on our up...
If I told you that you every business only has four things that need to be focused on for it to be successful, Iâm assuming every reasonable person would want to know what those four things are. Weâve talked many times on this show about all four of these things in great detail and in a variety...
If someone had told me 20 years ago to start branding myself and that the payoff would be exponentially greater than any branding I might do for my business, Iâm not sure I wouldâve bought in. However, 20 years later, not only do I get it completely, Iâm all in and hoping I can articulate it we...
