Matt and Garrett discuss a roadblock that so many of us are facing right now: How do we fit in the systems when we are running out of time? In this busy marketplace, it’s easy to get swept up in your day-to-day business, but it’s more important than ever to prioritize and schedule activities that lead to future growth. In the hustle and bustle of all your listings, big offers, and multiple closings, you want to make sure you are still in control of your success rather than riding the market wave, which may dry up.  How can we ensure we are still producing on the other side, once things cool off? Our hosts review weekly planning and the key to maximizing time spent on business-building systems, like phone calls and writing thank-you notes. Hint: Preparation allows you to make the most impact with the limited time you have! Commit to an hour-long time block each day to make it happen, otherwise Garrett will happily provide you with a dunce cap as punishment. They discuss the importance of a proactive, high touch-point hour every day, and how to approach it with purpose so that you do not fall victim to the next “culling of the herd.” Matt and Garrett gently remind us that we are not unique butterflies experiencing this time crunch, and explain the value in reframing challenges as opportunities for growth. They invite you to share how you are using your time blocks effectively and going full throttle each day. Today’s episode will give you the tools you need to set yourself up for consistent business regardless of the market, and make sure you are the cause of your own success, not the effect!

We need to be on purpose.” “Are you the cause or the effect of your business?” “If you’re worried about your business right now, then you’re the effect.” “It doesn’t have to be that way – get ahead of it, pick your systems and be very, very on point with them” “Imagine what you could produce in an hour a day.” “When you get that limited hour to do something, smash it out of the park!” “Set yourself up for success right now.
