Win Before You Get to the Door

     A few weeks ago, I visited Dallas for the Build Conference.  It was put on not by eXp Realty, but by Brent Gove, which I find pretty remarkable.  He invited many of our top agents to speak and it was capped off by Tony Robbins first live appearance since Covid hit.  It was an inspirational conference.  Each of the participants had interesting stories to share, but like most conferences I attend, I kind of forgot how great some of the stories were.  Brent Grove has posted videos of each of the speakers, including this one featuring my favorite speaker of the event, Krista Mashore.

     Krista tells the fascinating story of her childhood up to her successful career today.  Real estate can really turn people's lives around.  Krista is a real example of that.  She is an inspiration and shares some very practical advice about using videos in the real estate business.  It is how she wins before she ever shows up and is well worth the 30 minutes to watch it.

 

We will never fail, if we never stop.  Krista Mashore

 

     Krista's talk fit in nicely with the theme of the whole conference.  If you notice, "Build" is not finished in the featured photograph.  All of our businesses are at different stages and not finished.  We continue to work.  We continue to be better.  We continue to build!

Thank you, Endre Barath, Jr.  I really appreciate your positive comments.

 

I enjoyed her full talk, James Dray, but I think you watched the best part.  I am always amazed at those that do so much after starting out in a difficult childhood.  If you do end up watching the rest, I hope you enjoy it.

Thank you very much, Grant Schneider.  It was a good conference.  The secret is implementing what I have learned.  One step at a time.

 

I appreciate you dropping by, Brian England.  We had three days of great speakers.  It was tough to pick the best.  I may have to feature a few others.  In particular, there was an agent that escaped Vietnam at a very young age.  He told the story of each one of the kids in his family climbing up a rope ladder at a very young age to board a boat.  He was the first to go, then the rest of his siblings.  After all the kids were aboard, they begged for their parents to be let on board.  They were lucky.  The previous two days they had tried and failed.  How do you go from a stranger in a strange land to a very successful business man?

 

That story hit a personal note for me.  In my paint business, one of my first employees was a Vietnamese doctor that escaped in a similar manner.  He was one of the best employees ever.  He even brought me lunch ever day, though I tried to say no. Just think, he was a trained doctor and he had to paint.  He was a good man and always had a smile on his face.

Raymond- I love that the BUILD isn't finished!  And isn't it so true that we have to continue to build and adjust our businesses for them to grow and continue to exist?

A very interesting perspective, Ray... that we never stop "building." And that goes for both our professional and personal lives.

Hi Kathy Streib.  For a long time, I thought I would get to a destination and be done.  The older I get, the less that is true.  Build, build, build!

 

I would love to hear your story, Endre Barath, Jr. I had a professor in college that lived under communist rule in Poland.  He was the most boring professor ever, but after class, he told stories about his life in Poland.  Those stories were remarkable.  Stories from those that have come to this country always fascinate me and make me feel thankful and blessed for living here.

Thank you, Nina Hollander, Broker.  For much of the conference I didn't even notice the build signs were not finished, then it took me a bit to figure out the why.  I thought it was an interesting perspective. I guess I need a few signs that say, under construction.

He is a dynamic and fun speaker, Rocky Dickerson. He had some good ideas as well.

 

I think I will watch it one or two more times, Joan Cox.  I think she is an interesting speaker and I like the way she does videos.

Good morning, Grant Schneider.  There is always so much to learn.  I didn't realize that real estate could change so much, but since I have been in the business, there has been so much change.  It certainly has not been dull.
