In today’s special episode, we sat down with the hosts of Thinking OTB, Steve Valentine and Bernie Espinosa. We’ve known Steve and Bernie for years, and it was awesome to be featured on their show, talking about our story, where the market’s at right now, and what agents need to be doing right now to set themselves up for real wealth.    Bernie is the Vice President of the sales division of Lawyers Title in Scottsdale, AZ. She brings a wealth of knowledge, not only in the title field but in the overall real estate industry.    Steve Valentine is the Founder and CEO Valentine Group. With more than 20 years of real estate experience, he’s fanatical about handcrafting the right strategy for each client using his toolbox of absurdly effective techniques.   With everything happening in the market, there’s a thick air of uncertainty, uneasiness and even pre-2008 panic among agents. The truth is, it’s too soon to tell what’s going to happen, and freaking out about it won’t get us in the mindset required to survive if the market does indeed hit a down-shift.    Remember: where there’s panic, there’s rash decisions and knee jerk reactions, not rational preparation.      Guest Info   Bernie is the Vice President of the sales division of Lawyers Title in Scottsdale, AZ.

Stop Panicking About the Market, Start Preparing to Pivot w/Steve Valentine & Bernie Espinosa

What can we learn from disappointment? In business, there is a tendency to try to keep emotions clear of our relationships and decisions. This can be difficult to do because at the end of the day, we’re all human. So how can we make use of those disappointments, to use them to push us forward?   Disconnect the Why from the What   Disappointments make us want to know why: why did this happen and why did this happen to me? This kind of thinking can lead us to spiral out of control and let emotions take us down. Instead, look at your experiences from a what perspective: what did I learn from this? What can I take away from this experience?   By focusing on what happened instead of why, you can head off some of those hard emotions that might send you into a harmful tailspin. When we practice reflection on our experiences, we can look at them as teaching tools we can use to avoid those disappointments in the future.   Disappointment creates space for Thinking Outside the Box   “Every challenge I’ve had with a client has been an experience that’s helped me think outside the box to create a better experience for the next client.” – Steve   Building upon your experiences can help make you better prepared for both yourself and your clients. Real Estate is always going to have those disappointments, especially in this market. But these are all the experiences that make a great agent if you can have the right mindset to put it into perspective.   “Don’t always shift away from disappointment; own it and use it to shift into alternative solutions.” – Bernie   “With the right mindset, disappointments can create space for new opportunities.” – Bernie   “This is not happening to me; it’s happening for me.” - Steve   Books Mentioned:   Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty https://amzn.to/3dICFAu    Remember to subscribe and leave a 5-star rating, as well as a review if you’d like us to talk about a subject or if you just want to let us know how much you like the podcast!
