Ep 291 – Setting goals

In this High-Performance Podcast for Real Estate Agents, Josh Phegan and Alexander Phillips discuss building energy through setting goals. Alex looks at the importance of having goals to stay motivated, continuing to make transactions, and setting reasonable goals for current market conditions. Josh tells how he avoids negativity and stays motivated by practising gratitude, and how setting little goals lead to incentive for accomplishing bigger wins.

Josh suggests listing all the things you can do instead of focusing on what you can’t, think of things you can stretch yourself toward doing better, and have better quality relationships during this period.

Effortless glide

As we go in and out of lockdown markets, one of the greatest skills you can have is effortless glide. In my Coaching Tip this week I’ll show you what to do now to keep yourself fit and performing at your best, now and when things get back to normal.

During lockdowns we have a number of restrictions placed on us, and they differ in every state and territory. I’ll show you how to focus only on the things you can do so you can transition from one situation to another and back again as you need to.

I’ll explain the two current types of business models and tell you how to work with whichever situation you’re in. You can’t just sit and wait for things to change and business to get back to normal. You’ve got to create opportunities now and use your time well.

It’s what you do when things are quiet that makes all the difference when things get busy. In or out of lockdown, as conditions change you’ve got to perform. Effortless glide is key to helping you stay fit, do great work and continue to play at your absolute best.

Tactical excellence or strategic negligence?

One of our greatest challenges in life and in business is that we have tactical excellence, but we’re strategically negligent. In this Growth, Leadership and Management Tip I’ll explain how you can get clear on what you do and become more strategic.   

I’ll outline things we do that are tactically excellent and explain why none of those things will work without thinking strategically about why you’re doing them. And I’ll talk about strategic thinking based on business decision principles.

Getting strategically excellent is also about modelling your business. I’ll step through some criteria for understanding your business model and making better quality decisions around planning for what you want to achieve. 

It’s time for you to get seriously strategic about what you do. I’ll show you how to structure your planning to include an overview of what’s working and what’s not, and how to make the changes you need to become both tactically and strategically excellent.

Ep 290 – Managing stakeholders

This High-Performance Podcast for Real Estate Agents features Josh Phegan and Alexander Phillips on managing stakeholders.

Josh describes economic buyers and influencers in listing presentations. Josh and Alex offer advice around working with solicitors and illustrate examples of how to handle them.

Josh ends with the advantages of maintaining a panel of solicitors, mortgage brokers, and others who understand how you work. They can brief you on issues that you may face coming ahead. You’ll be informed and the transaction can proceed.

Get back to goals

It’s about you connecting with what you really want and how setting goals plugs you into the energy source that will get you there. In my Coaching Tip today I’ll help you get back to goals and do the things that mean the most to you in your life.

You’ve got goals for lots of areas of your life. We’ll look at personal, professional, financial, and other categories of things you’d like to gain and achieve. I’ll tell you why we stop setting goals and how to give yourself permission to dream again.

You can be a dream maker for the people around you, but first, you’ve got to get that energy around what it is that you want for yourself. Wherever you are in your life, I’ll show you where to start in setting goals and getting energetic around them.

What do you want your life to look like 5 years down the road? You get back to goals by asking yourself questions that will help you focus on the things that are most important to you. Then you can make decisions that allow you to go out and do those things now.

Ep 289 – Getting more strategic

Today’s High-Performance Podcast for Real Estate Agents features Josh Phegan and Alexander Phillips on getting more strategic about getting what you want instead of just taking whatever comes along.

Josh outlines how customer lifecycle works and why you need to understand it. He talks about demographic trend and how it can determine your next market, taking a more strategic view around what you do, and making sure your marketplace is big enough for your aspirations.

Growth mindset

If you want to improve you need to get really clear about the way that you learn. In my Coaching Tip this week I’m examining the growth mindset and how to change your thinking so you can answer your most powerful question: What do you want?

I’ll start with a comparison of the fixed mindset and the growth mindset, and how know-it-all and learn-it-all concepts determine your results in our dynamically shifting world. I’ll help you understand these concepts so you can learn to think differently.

I’m an advocate for reading and I’ll tell you how books can rapidly unlock your thinking and change the way you work. And I’ll show you that you are capable of playing a much bigger role in your own life.

You can make the decision to have a growth mindset and become a lifelong learner. You could be just a system away from achieving your goals, but first, you’ve got to get clear on what you really want. Once you know that, the world will change for you.
