SUMMARY Today’s Guest: Larry White Jr. “Tim Ferry Coach” Catalyst & Creator of Opportunities Real Estate Team Profit Machine

MAIN POINTS: XOME > XOME helps real estate agents generate leads & increase their business. > Xome and agents are in a mutually beneficial relationship: If agents can’t do the fundamentals right, they won't be able to catch anything else. > Xome is an auction platform that was originally used to sell only foreclosures, etc. but now also targets the FSBO category (6-8% of the real estate market). > Xome reaches out to the FSBO seller by giving the seller an agent and all the benefits of having an agent WITHOUT any agent’s commission > The Xome business model benefits REO agents by creating a pricing and marketing strategy that creates a significant amount of traffic and exposure > Xome also allows agents to streamline the process of becoming an REO agent

FUNDAMENTALS ARE THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY If an REO agent hasn’t been able to manage the fundamentals, they will not be successful in their business,

FUNDAMENTALS OF REAL ESTATE BUILD THE FOUNDATION OF BUSINESS 1 - GENERATING LEADS 2- WHERE ARE THE LEADS GOING? 3- HOW ARE YOU FOLLOWING UP ON LEADS?

HOW YOU START YOUR DAY IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS >The average person looks at their phone when they first wake up. This creates a situation where you are starting the day off in a reactionary mindset and responding to everyone else’s problems, rather than prioritizing what they need to do >Don’t look at your phone for the first hour or two of the day in order to work on yourself

IF YOU DON’T PRIORITIZE YOURSELF, NO ONE ELSE WILL DO IT FOR YOU. > Start your day by prioritizing self-care, fitness, and gratitude. > Plan your day by deciding the top 3-5 things that will most benefit yourself and your business that day and then focus on just those things. > Focusing on your priorities will allow you to become accomplished.

MORNING ROUTINE IS CRITICAL TO SUCCESS >Set yourself and your business up for success by making yourself and your business your first priority every day.

WHAT WE TRACK AND MEASURE GETS RESULTS >Just like tracking your calories or weight helps you get results in weight loss, tracking your progress and achievements in business will also get your success.

ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNERS WILL HELP YOU STAY ON TRACK > An accountability partner that “lets your slide” isn’t a true accountability partner > Motivation is key to remaining accountability > Creative (light-hearted) negative consequences are often fantastic ways for a partner to keep you accountable

FOLLOW YOUR FULFILLMENT > Focus on what fulfills you in life and money will follow > If you aren’t passionate about what you do are doing you won't be successful.

BREAK OUT OF THE MINDSET THAT YOUR CHILDHOOD SET YOU UP FOR > Just because your dad worked himself to death in a job he hated doesn’t mean that’s how you need to live your life > Follow your dreams and obsessions, forget having been told that you won’t make it or can’t do it

VISUALIZE YOUR DREAM & OBSESSIVELY WORK ON IT > Make a goal statement > Make a vision board > Decide the steps > Work towards achieving your dream EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

FAILURE ISN’T PERSONAL > Allow your failures to be teaching moments > Discomfort is a motivator. You need to be uncomfortable in being uncomfortable. > Focusing on failure keeps you from focusing on working towards success.

TRUST YOUR GUT > If you have a bad feeling of a business deal/situation/investment trust that feeling > Have an overcomer mindset: > We get unlimited chances.
